Thank you. Mr. Thornberry mr. Chairman, i am proud to bring before the house h. R. 2810, the National Defense authorization act for the fiscal year 2018. It was reported favorably by the House Armed Services committee at 11 59 p. M. On june 28, 2017. By a vote of 601. That vote is an indication of the bipartisan support that exists to support our troops and to fulfill our obligations placed on us by the constitution. Mr. Chairman, i think the always helpful for us to remind ourselves of the authority by which we undertake our responsibilities. Article 1, section 8 of the constitution says that congress has the power and the responsibility to provide and to raise and support armies, to provide and maintain a navy, to make rules for the government and regulation of land and naval forces, and, of course, to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers. The members of our committee and our staff take those responsibilities very seriousl

With more on how amber alert really saved the day. Reporter up until today amber alerts have lead to safe rescue of 306 children since 2002. Then this afternoonnumber 307. We are speechless. We dont know what to think. We dont know what to say. We dont know who could have done this. It is perhaps the worst feeling a parent can endure. A child abduction. Today that nightmare came true in soledad. A familiar storyeven for neighbors helping to search. Pretty typical story. Parent puts the car in idle. A 2yearold boy left in the car for an instant. Dad goes insidethe car is stolen. But the responseis fast. While police went door to dooran amber alert buzzed across cell phones across california. The whole idea is to get your attention. Maybe your phone is on silent it will still vibrate. Amber alerts have been around since 2002long before cell phones. But it has adapted with technology. Go through your iphones settings to find the feature. Start looking because that vehicle could be directl
