Robert C. Byrd: “I am committed to giving our troops in Iraq the resources they need to ensure their safety and to win this war.”

I hope that wherever you can share your views, you will, because it's pretty easy in history to see this.

In closing, may I say that the President's request includes $658 million for construction of the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.

My top priority will be to learn what challenges the DOD IG office needs to address and to ensure the adequacy of resources required to accomplish its mission.

Promoting efficiency and preventing fraud in defense acquisitions will obviously be a high priority.
