If it was a contractor, were they paid to conduct this training?

Secretary Morin and Mr. Tillotson, has the Air Force saved money with the deployment of its ERPs? If not yet, when will it?

Were contractors asked to refund any money for training that was ineffective?

The Stevens case does not suggest a systemic problem with regard to prosecutors abusing their responsibilities

The Constitution, the integrity of our adversarial system of justice, and the rules of professional responsibility... depend upon prosecutors observing some goal above and more fundamental than just a desire to win.

You have performed a profound public service. Thank you for that.

I want to specifically thank Mr. Millwee for his efforts following Senator Grassley's request to identify the high-volume prescribers of certain often-abused drugs.

Thank you for convening this very important hearing on a very serious topic, and Senator Grassley for his leadership in investigations.

Is the Senator aware the very same arms merchant, Rosoboronexport, has also been documented selling weapons to Iran and Venezuela? As a matter of fact, according to one published report, as late as 2005, Rosoboronexport sold Iran 29 Tor-M1…

But at what point, whether it is corruption, whether it is enabling international terrorists, States like Iran, whether it is arming thugs and murderers like President Assad in Syria, do we say the cost is just too high in terms of…

Implementation of the Stockpile Stewardship Program and the nuclear infrastructure investments recommended in the NPR will allow the United States to shift away from retaining large numbers of nondeployed warheads.

Allowing the President to make more concessions to the Russians would be antithetical to our safety and security

Would a shift in U.S. nuclear doctrine away from counterforce and flexibility toward minimum deterrence weaken the credibility of U.S. nuclear use on behalf of allies?

This is not a genie that we can put back in the bottle by unilaterally disarming and dismantling our nuclear weapons.

I'd like to ask whether DOD would be willing to help our committee identify efficiencies within the National Laboratories or NNSA that would free up funding for the important weapons LEPs or perhaps even to fund the construction of CMRR on…

We have been told that the deterrence relationship between the United States and Russia is stable.

I think the arsenal that we have is exactly what is needed today to provide the deterrent.

When the New START treaty was ratified in the Senate, there were certain representations made by the administration.

Do you believe that at lower numbers, the implications of cheating become more important?
