We could help ourselves enormously if we got rid of sequestration.

So essentially I have got a choice, and under the current resources it is reform or the oversight.

we need more money, I think, to adequately to do the job that we are being asked to do

I think this is going to reverse that in a huge, huge way.

the number one overall obligation is to make sure that whatever it is that we ask the men and women in our Armed Forces to do, they are trained and equipped and ready to do it.

Acquisition reform has always been a challenge at the Department of Defense [DOD].

Sequestration obviously would have a devastating impact on the defense budget and on the discretionary budget in general.

I think we should look at lifting it, in general.

So first of all, yes, sequestration needs to go away. Personally I would vote to eliminate it tomorrow and be done with it.

I think it would be better to sort of explain, you know, what, it is not a boots-on-the-ground issue.
