At some point in time, this Congress needs to have a debate after 16 years and let us have a new debate on the future of Afghanistan.

We have spent billions and trillions of dollars to rebuild Afghanistan, and we cannot build your bridges and your roads right here in America.

This is not the America for which we dream.

The biggest cancer on the soul of our country right now is the American criminal justice system, and we can make it right.

If you are black born in America today, you have a one in three chance of going to prison.

So we are really not talking about a fix. We are talking about covering up the problem or stabilizing it?

I thought one of the good parts was the termination of the MOX facility in South Carolina.

I hope my colleagues will pay attention to the general's comments because this is an annual issue in the defense authorization bill.

So the bulk of the reduction in that appropriations account reflects the administration's proposal that we terminate the MOX project.

What are we going to do to improve the performance record here?

There are many good parts and many bad parts to the recent budget that was submitted to Congress.

It is really important that we ingest non-traditional data into our space surveillance network as well.
