William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry: “I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from Florida (Mr. Mast), a combat veteran.”

I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler).

I support the National Defense Strategy. I completely agree--and I think it makes sense to put greater emphasis on great power competition.

I think it is one of the defining characteristics of our time that we face so many diverse national security threats and challenges all at the same time.

I think it is a mistake to look at a problem and say we can't be constrained by resources.
