President members of the congress, my fellow americans, on this hill which was my home i am stirred by old friendships.

Bases as for jobs in so many congressional districts. And i have heard very conservative members of congress say government doesnt create jobs, it destroys them, and all that sort of thing. It doesnt apply to the military base in my district. If we lost that, we would lose jobs. Is there anyway around this . I dont know how, other than a fundamental change. I remember seeing many years ago, a map of where the subcontracts were, i think it was the b2 bomber. There was a pin the companies are smar...

Onal security argument for it. And it turns out last month the u. S. Army sent 100 tanks back to europe in response to the ukraine process. And maybe thats the evidence that we made the right call. One year they wanted to discontinue the global hawk and rely instead on the 50yearold, and the next year they proposed exactly the reverse. They asked to retire the a10 and then sent it to fly attack missions in iraq and syria. The navy included no money in this years budget to begin to refuel the geo...

It is our right and responsibility to weigh in and i will be anxious to see the administrations formal response to the chairmans proposal and look forward to those discussions as well. Also as a Side Agreement im glad to see th...

Burdens. Keeping them on board is going to be an effort. So if we wind up in a situation where we reached an agreement that all of our partners believe is in their security interests, our security interests, the security interests of other partners beyond those making the agreement and then that agreement was to be in some fashion unravelled here i think what would result is the sanctions regime that so many in this chamber have labored so hard to put in place, that would likely unravel. Impleme...

Currently have and future sanctions, should they be ramped up, that we have the resources to actually do that. A lot of the questions i had have been answered already, so i would just say that i applaud the chairman for putting forward the proposal he has in terms of congress waiting in on an ultimate agreement. I hope that we are sensitive to these negotiations. I do believe, as many of us have discussed, if this jpoa were to continue in perpetuity, it would not be a bad thing. As long as that ...
