Sequestration is unquestionably the most important issue facing our Government, figuring out how to deal with it.

This is not the way to do it. It is going to be a $57 billion cut at the absolute last minute.

I think it is important that we examine that issue and try to figure out how to maximize our effectiveness at contracting out and pulling together those logistical challenges.

I share your remarks on the events in Libya and also in Egypt. Our thoughts and prayers certainly go out to the people who lost their lives and their families.

Operational Contract Support is crucial for our military effectiveness.

Logistics and contracting out are critical, critical parts of our military and national security operation that don't typically get the attention that they obviously deserve.

I am certain that our witnesses' testimony will help us and the Department of Defense, as we continue the mission in Afghanistan and prepare for the challenges that may come, here at home or around the globe.

I think this is a great opportunity to learn from that and make improvements where we can.

The best thing Congress could do would be to find a solution right now to that.

Personally, I think revenue has to be part of the equation.

America's inability to govern ourselves past sequestration plays directly into the hands of those who spread a narrative of American decline.
