As we begin our final day of consideration of the fy21 spending bills, id like to thank you all for your kind words and well wishes and ask you, please, to indulge me in just a few more reflections. I came to congress in 1989, one of just 31 women in the house and senate and to this committee in 1993 alongside only six other women under the 64member panel. This body is better for the 100 women serving in the 116th congress and for the many women in the room today. Its my honor to address the full committee for my final time as the first woman chair.

It is the name of a particular bar at which american sailors were assaulted in the country of chile, specifically in valparaiso, chile, which is a major port along the Pacific Coast of chile. I want us to consider the ways in which the United States army and navy were envisioning their future. We were already considering over the past several presentations the ways in which the armed forces, especially certain elements of the officer corps, were anticipating great power conflict. A fair degree of anxiety infused their beliefs. Now, historians dont have any radically or persuasively clear understanding of exactly why americans of this age were so anxietyridden but at precisely the same time that there was tremendous optimism and
