In South Carolina, we are very, very supportive of F-35s.

I believe the U.S.-Israel relationship is of paramount importance to U.S. foreign policy.

I appreciate the President's restatement of our appreciation in all of these countries.

Well, it's so inspiring to be there and visit with our Polish allies.

I'm the grateful son of a Flying Tiger who served in India and China during World War II, and I know the difference you can make on behalf of promoting freedom and liberty.

It is so important for the people of Syria. It is so important for the Middle East and what opportunities we have.

It is so inspiring the three witnesses we have. Thank you for what you are doing on behalf of the people of Syria.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And, gosh, this is an extraordinary hearing. I want to thank you, Chairman Deutch, for putting this together.

It is unfathomable that Assad, Russia, or Iran would be a part of any solution as they are the root of the problem.

I appreciate the bravery that you have of presenting these points, your insight of the witnesses, and something that it very impressive, you have truly unified people of both political parties in the United States to share a concern.

We have to work together for solutions that strengthen the neighbors, strengthen our partnerships with the neighbors, and isolate the Venezuelan regime.

What is your assessment of the whole-of-government approach to countering Russian, Iranian, and Chinese support to the corrupt regime in Venezuela?

We have such a relationship with that country.

We need to be ever vigilant.

I am really grateful for the military leadership that are being proactive to get ready.

I feel so positive about, like energy savings performance contracts.

Military installation resilience has been defined as the ability of an installation to avoid, prepare for, and minimize the effect or adapt to and recover from extreme weather events or changes in environmental conditions.

Thank you, Chairman Garamendi. I appreciate it.

Domestic military installations are critical to our military readiness.

And I share your concern.

It's critically important that our service members have one overarching loyalty and that is to protecting the citizens of the United States and her interest.

I do not believe that is true, for a whole bunch of reasons.

What are the practical ramifications for requiring congressional authorization on sunset clauses?
