I can think of no better words to use than the ones you did, and I am proud to be part of this rare, perhaps unique, oasis of bipartisanship in the United States Congress.

There were almost 1,000 incidents in the last several decades of problems with securing nuclear weapons by the U.S. Air Force.

I hope if there is any wrinkle or blip here, that you promptly notify the subcommittee, because we are very interested in this commonality issue.

nuclear deterrence is the Nation's number one priority defense mission, and we must recapitalize our nuclear forces.

I have always been a fan of the Personal Reliability Program, and relaxing a standard doesn't sound like the best way to make sure our nuclear weapons are safe, secure, and reliable.

We have got to get this right.

This is a trillion-dollar subject here, and we have got to get that right as well.

there is an astonishing national consensus in both parties, among most all people, that the triad is important; in fact, it is vital to our national security

it is our duty to keep it safe, secure, and reliable.

I hope that this Congress will not only fund that amount, but actually find the real dollars to support it and not borrow that money

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am going to wait till the classified session.
