We have had a lot of very expensive mistakes in the area of acquisition reform.

One of the things that we really focus on is how can we make quicker decisions.

I think that over the years we pass a bill every year, and I am sure we have unintentionally put together some regulations...

We have to be smarter, we have to figure that out.

I think this is a very, very important hearing.

We are going to have to be much smarter about it.

I am struck by the fact the people who are building the newest carrier, the Ford, accused of cost overrun...

The problem I think everyone here is very good at describing, too many requirements, too many people in charge.

we are supposed to exercise oversight. And every once in a while we are right. So we are going to keep exercising that oversight.

The choice here is, can we take a realistic step that is going to stop them, continue to stop them, from getting a nuclear weapon?

If, in fact, the United States agrees to the kind of deal that the chairman just described, then I think it would be a grave and terrible mistake.
