even more importantly thanking them for their service this is a security environment and to be charged with what i believe is the first function of the federal government to defend the country is a significant responsibility and i appreciate the service of the secretary and the chairman. i also appreciate the effort the department has made to have a budget that reflects a strategy. we haven't had that in quite a while and i think it is absolutely the strategy is imperfect and the budget is in perfect. you can't turn an aircraft carrier on the vine and allergy but there is at least a concept around which we can make spending decisions and so i appreciate the effort that the department has put into doing so. there are tough choices and especially with a fixed line it would be a significant challenge for congress to make these choices in a way that reflects the long-term security interests of the country. i also want to say i appreciate the efforts the secretary has made for the defense wide revi review. to get more value out of the taxpayer dollars for the benefit of the war fighter and again we may agree or disagree with some of the specific

federal agencies to pose a national security threat. let me be clear, most cca members do not have covered equipment in their networks. for those to do, often they provide service to their own rural communities operating where others don't. on the thinnest of margins to connect their neighbors. these are owned by and ploy americans in the local communities, and i can assure you these patriots want to take whatever steps necessary to ensure our national security. through your actions, these carriers will have a program to support replacing covered network elements. chairman whicker, i completely agree with your remarks where you said some things are paying for and protecting america is worth paying for. the undertaking to replace equipment is unprecedented, never been done. networks in operation today were built over years, actually decades, and such a significant undertaking will be allen compassing. this will keep rural americans connected. for all the talk about rip and replace, carriers must create and execute individual plans that replace and then rip, they must maintain service before decommissioning. anything less threatens the loss of connecttivity in ru
