there is a reason that admiral mullin warned us that in his professional military judgment, the greatest threat to our national security is our national debt. now, we just increased that debt because of assurances that we'd stretched the defense budget to the breaking point. as long as this program continues to consume billions of our defense dollars that claim cannot be taken seriously. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from indiana rise? mr. visclosky: to claim time in opposition to the gentleman's amendment. the chair: the gentleman has five minutes in opposition. mr. visclosky: i would start my remarks by saying the gentleman from california has me at a disadvantage. because we just received a copy of the final amendment that was offered in the house and line 7 and 8 are new to the amendment and referred to executive order 13963. which is in addition to other items that i am opposed to. i am told that those sections in that executive order are referred to planning for sustainability but i c

mullin, five minutes for your questions please. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. kennedy, you have i've actually sat here and enjoyed watching you the ui very skillful on the way you approach your answers. i could probably take a lesson or two from the. but at the same time, we just don't seem to be getting the answers. i mean, you can tell the frustration this panel is getting. we've got a young lady that is taking over your shoulder bearing the scars of the mistake that was made, and you are still not giving answers. i mean, i'm a business owner. i understand when we failed to understand when we make a mistake. but now what? what the solution was we did a recall and would replace them with other things that were still faulty? is no excuse for that zero. maybe this panel is just looking to hear you say we screwed up, but i know that will cause legal issues for you all but it is a screw up. taking blame is just that, hey, we messed up. we heard just a while ago who is going to be responsible for this? i don't know. what do you mean we don't know? who made the prod
