It is impossible without regulatory relief and infrastructure changes in the securities markets.

So that's why I'm here once again, actually, pushing for further research into the use of psychedelics to treat PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and CTE.

It's worth noting we all voted for this already. We've passed this out of the House, and where all good things die, it died in the Senate.

I'm calling on Congress to use this year's NDAA to direct the Secretary of Defense to provide grants for psychedelic research to treat service members living with PTSD, TBI, and CTE.

I think China is the largest threat, Mr. Secretary, respectfully, and not climate change...

In order to do that, you got to build more frigates.

I just would suggest--I know we got a little bit, but it is well below the authorized number.

It is almost as if we need a war footing now when it comes to critical munitions in order to avoid the war.

You have to assume you are fighting with what is already in theater, just given the geography of the Indo-Pacific.

I would suggest we put the relevant Members of Congress on your airplane, take them down to Troy, Alabama, take them to Huntsville, take them wherever they need to go to see.

To me the solution is obvious. We have multiyear authority. We need multiyear appropriation.

I think we should test those claims.

I think we have a huge opportunity to fix this and start to rebuild our stockpiles.

The intent of the Committee, was to accelerate groundbreaking digital engineering for military aviation

I think that is unacceptable. I think Congress needs to fix that, Chairman, and give them the 100 percent of what they are owed.

This committee will also be closely monitoring progress on the modernization of our nuclear triad.

Fielding new capability in the short term is the key to maintaining a credible deterrence.

We should be divesting of capabilities that aren't survivable in a fight against China.

Given today's record inflation, the President's budget effectively cuts the Air Force by 3 percent.

Diversification will provide us the resilience needed to mitigate the threats we face from China and other adversaries.

The fiscal year 2023 NDAA directs DOD to conduct war games, tabletop exercises, and most importantly, operational exercises with Taiwan's armed forces.

There is honor in government service.

The future is one where I would tell you that the jobs that you see today may not exist in the jobs in the future.

We have to be able to secure that information.

That affects our economy and that affects our jobs.
