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

Do you believe that some commissaries will eventually close if their sales volumes diminish so much that they cannot cover their expenses?

I hope we'll reevaluate what we've done to the military and to some other vital programs.

How will the families of servicemembers who qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition program be impacted by higher commissary prices?

Can you explain how that would work and how you get that much savings so quickly?

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.

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.

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

Secretary Woodson, if TRICARE coverage is expanded to provide ABA therapy for all children with developmental disabilities, will the available supply of ABA therapy providers accommodate the increased demand for services?

I believe we have the finest military in the world and it is for a reason, because our commanders are responsible for delivering well-trained, ready troops.
