There is a new technology that, under the right circumstances, could protect your grandchildren and this Nation.

I thank the gentleman from California for his work, in a bipartisan fashion, on the CITI Subcommittee. His bipartisan spirit is always a pleasure, and the innovative mindset that my friend has brought to our work together, I very much…

My flight arriving in D.C. was delayed so I was unable to participate in roll call number 273. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 273. PERSONAL EXPLANATION

I think it is incredibly important for this Congress to act quickly with legislation.

I think it is already happening. We are seeing firms, crypto firms, declare very publicly that they are going to move to international jurisdictions.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

I think we should test those claims.

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

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

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

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

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.
