Before i begin i like to take a moment to remember my friend and our chairman, Elijah Cummings who we lost one week ago. Like others on this committee at the pleasure privilege to call elijah at my friend for almost 20 years. We worked the many issues that confronted congress. Mr. Cummings has bequeathed the legacy of Compassionate Service to those families in our society who still struggle to receive the full promise of the american dream. While he had an abiding faith in the goodness and kindness of humankind he was firm in his commitment to use his many talents and his power of position to weighin in behalf of the disenfranchised and reduce the suffering that he saw in this world. Elijah lived his life in a meaningful cause, a cause for justice and liberty and equality for all. We in our nation would be well served to follow his example and spirit had presence here on this committee will be sorely missed. Today we will examine the trump and ministrations decision to draw u. S. Force
