"I was compelled, as many of my colleagues here were, to vote against the emergency supplemental when it left the Senate."

"I think Members of Congress, irrespective of their political affiliation, have tremendous confidence in you."

"I assume that you would like to see a clean supplemental appropriation."

"we have to, I think, be very concerned about readiness, combat effectiveness, cohesion, recruitment, retention."
