Jim Cooper: “As space gets more crowded, it gets more treacherous.”

I thank the gentleman. I appreciate his kind words about me and do any other members have questions they would like to bring up now?

I request the witnesses keep their opening remarks to no more than 5 minutes, and that members respect the same time limit for their questioning.

I should remind you that President Trump, I think, did very little if anything to help with the third missile site while he was President.

We have been given the largest missile defense budget by President Biden and his administration.
