Senate Armed Services Committee Meets today to receive testimony on the department of defense acquisition Reform Efforts and we welcome our witnesses, ellen lord undersecretary for acquisition, technology, and logistics. Mark esper, secretary the army. Heather wilson, secretary the air force and james geurts assistant secretary of the navy for acquisition, technology, and logistics acquisition reform is one of the most important and frustrating topics committee addresses. Four years we have been warned that america is losing its technological advantage. I hope you have seen the work on the topic. Thats why the department of defense needs acquisition reform not just for efficiency or to save money, simply put we will not be able to address threats facing this nation with the system of organized irresponsibility that the defense acquisition enterprise has become. I went to witnesses to pay attention. We are still dealing with a trillion dollar after 35 program that continues to operate i

Senator mcconnell is notorious for, first off, hes not campaigning much. Its hard to find him, hard to see him, hard to ask him a question, so this is giving regular people a chance to ask him a question. It is; obviously, delivering information that people need to know about his record, but without the usual harsh attack ad with the figger in somebody finger in somebodys face.

And, you know, its obvious where both parties and the Interest Groups are going to pour their money, those Southern States plus alaska. Democrats are going to try kentucky and georgia. Good luck, you know, with both of them because i think itll be tough. In both cases. But theyre going to try those two. Other than that, theres really nothing the democrats can pick up. Theyll be lucky to pick up one of those two. The republicans have all the opportunities. We already know, really, which ones they are. So its a question of where th
