William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry: “I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Marino).”

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

I believe that we have to be clear-eyed about the threat that emanates from North Korea, not only against us, but our allies.

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 that ought to alarm all of us who care about this institution and care about our ability to work together on behalf of the country's national security.
