Do you agree that the Obama administration's policy of trying to reset bilateral relations with Russia was a major factor in the decision to award this June 1, 2011, no-bid contract to Rosoboronexport?

What risks would the United States face if Taiwan cannot protect itself?

I welcome these statements, and can think of no greater example of the importance of these facts than the United States' relationship with Taiwan.

What message do you believe the current administration's failure to approve the sale of 66 new F-16 C/D fighters sends to the Government of Taiwan?

You further state that you would not recommend any changes to the law.
