I think the sanctions have been implemented in a way to get the Iranians to the table.

Is it time to reevaluate the need for the TDRL?

Do you think that we are on to something here that this is an untapped resource for the Marine Corps, using women in direct combat?

Let us know if you need more JAGs because I think we are all willing to supply what you need to deal with this problem.

When it comes to sexual assault, I think it would probably be good sometime down the road to have a hearing to see if some of these reforms are actually working.

TRICARE is competing against readiness, modernization, everything else. Is that true in all the Services?

We have not had a premium adjustment since 1995. Is that correct? Yes, I think it is.

From your point of view--each of you very quickly if you could--if you implemented that change of a 5 percent cost share, reducing it to 95 percent of the average, is that something the Services could absorb, and is that fair given our…

I think one of the proposals is to have some cost sharing.

I support the chairwoman's decision to let the MCRMC in February provide their recommendations.

Does DOD or the Services require any additional authorities to support victims of sexual assault?

Secretary Wright, when did DOD last review the role of the Selective Service System in meeting the wartime requirements of the Nation?

Secretary Wright, if combat arms positions are opened to women, and if not enough women volunteer for those positions, will DOD involuntarily assign women to combat arms units?

Secretary Wright, what congressionally-mandated personnel programs do you believe are no longer useful to servicemembers and their families that could be cut or modified to promote a more efficient use of resources?

Secretary Wright, how will this reduction affect privatized housing companies who receive money from DOD for on-base housing?

Secretary Wright, if a member lives on base with their family, will their rent still be covered 100 percent or will they have to pay 5 percent of the cost?

Secretary Wright, how much savings will DOD realize as a result of the proposal to increase servicemember Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) out-of-pocket contribution in fiscal year 2015?

Children with special health needs and complex medical conditions require an assortment of specialized health care and education services.
