i consult to the navy. you have to all take that, put it away, because what i'm going to tell you now are my opinions. not what i get paid to do. my opinion here is that this is a very thorny, bureaucratic problem. we allude to that in the report in the first draft of it, i did a hell of a lot more than allude to it. i take it on pretty strongly and then i backed the language out. surface people like dave and me believe we need more organic isr. we need something that takes off from my ship, is under my control, completes my fire control loop. you haven't shown us your requirement. the airplane guys haven't quite justifiably said for years you don't have a requirement for that, you haven't shown us your requirement. part of this is a function of the missiles moving out in capability faster than the isr could catch up to it. this is why i think the congress asked the navy to do its study to determine whether or not such a requirement exists. marines clearly believe such a requirement exists, because they hav

d at large and air force and navy one can understand the argument. but for the army it looks like you have more forces in europe than asia and more kinetic activity in the middle east. so looks like the army has three regions. >> this is where i guess i would call tt accounting for combatant commanders. there are more assigned forces to indio pay comp to the army than any other theaters. the challenges are a lot in washington state and west coast of the united states. so what challenges this is the disposition of the capabilities. so back in the spring, general, my wing man and i, we actually went out to see admiral davidson, spent two, dwree dath with him, took a look at our emergency readiness program, and defender program, to look at how the disposition of the capability would better serve his needs to get the effects within the region. so we expanded this program, and put more money in there, put more money in this program. i highlighted that in my remarks before. that's a decision size element that's not assigned to the s theater. so say the fir

i say that, of course, notwithstanding the outcome of the army/navy game this year, for which i think he would argue about responsibility. but his promotion to being the secretary of the army is a great plus for our country and for the army. now with so many real and potential challenges on the horizon, our u.s. army has no choice but to adapt to an increasingly uncertain future, a future of complex and evolving threats in an environment of increasingly technological sophistication, rapid change and lethality. that is especially true of today's topic, which is the indo-pacific region, of. although i know the secretary is focused with laser-like clarity, not just on the indo-pacific but the middle east, north africa and europe and elsewhere because the army is, of course, a global force. today we will talk about the indo-pacific region. so to our program, shortly the secretary will offer us some of his own remarks and then we will be joined on the stage by brookings senior fellow mike o'hanlon. they will cover a wide array of topics, but primarily be oriented on the indo-pacific region

as churchill recorded in the world's greatest navy "the supreme ships of the navy on which our life must depend for are fed by oil and could only be fed by oil." the emphasis of churchill and britain's military strategists focused on the great benefits to their naval superiority, however their decision also marked a defining moment, a new era in the culture of petroleum by association, committing their fleet to petroleum meant that a consistent and reliable supply of crude had just become one of the most important commodities on earth. nations' security depended on it. also by association, any nation wishing to compete with britain had to follow suit. by declaring this new energy era, britain forced any competing nations to also consider oil within this new logic. at the highest level, u.s. leaders debated the implications of converting their military. particularly their navy to petroleum. their conversations had begun in the late 1800's, and took on greater urgency as britain emerged in global affairs. the united states had won significant advantage in the naval conversion, of course. i

i recently attend add ceremony at pearl harbor with the acting secretary of the navy to announce the naming. future aircraft carrier in his honor. this will be the first aircraft carrier named for a african-american sailor. it is appreciated. but not the medal of honor. i have introduced h.r. 5549, the dora meryl medal of honor act of 2020. this bill would wave the statute of limitations to upgrade miller's navy cross to the medal of honor. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman from texas yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from georgia seek recognition? >> ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. carter: mr. speaker, i rise today to remember the life of deputy sheriff sheldon whiteman who died in the line of duty on january 23 at the age of 44. he was assisting in a vehicle pursuit in the first congressional district of georgia when his vehicle left the roadway. he had only been with the county sh

this past november it was the navy serk navy secretary richard spencer when the president messed with criminal cases that he wanted to turn to his political advantage. navy secretary richard spencer's resignation statement was rip roaring. he said, quote, the rule of law is what sets us apart from our adversaries. good order and discipline is what has enabled our victory against foreign tyranny time and ti time again. i no longer share the same understanding that the commander in chief who appointed me e i cannot in good conscience obey an order that i believe violates the sacred oath i took in the presence of my family, my flag and my faith to support and defend the constitution of the united states. richard spencer resigned as secretary of the navy on november 24th. remarkably, today, he became the first trump appointee to endorse one of president trump's opponents for the november election. we'll have more on that a little later on. but there have been principled, high-leveled resignations from the trump administration, there have been a pew. because we know the president does not
