Excerpt from Department of Defense Authorization for Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2004, Vol. 1: Hearing Before the Committee on Armed Services United States Senate One Hundred Eight Congress First Session S. 1050 Opening Statement Of Senator John Warner, Chairman Chairman Warner. The committee meets today to receive testimony from Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard Myers on the posture of the U.S. Armed Forces as it affects the budget for fiscal year 2004 and in the future. Secretary Rumsfeld and General Myers, we welcome you back before the committee and commend you once again for the outstanding service you both continue to provide to our Nation and to our men and women in uniform. I observe, as one who has been in that building, a very close and trusting working partnership between the two of you, and that´s for the best interests of the men and women in the Armed Forces and indeed, the country. Our Nation could not have a better team guiding our military during these challenging times. As we meet this morning, tens of thousands of our service members have departed their families, their homes, their jobs, and are engaged around the world in the global war on terrorism. Indeed, many of them have taken up posts here at home in defense of our own Nation. Many thousands more are preparing for possible conflict in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region. These very men and women in uniform deserve our strongest support, and their families here at home. They will get it. President Bush stated in the new national security strategy for the United States, "Defending our Nation against these enemies is the first fundamental commitment for the Federal Government." Today, that task has changed dramatically. Enemies in the past needed great armies and great industrial capabilities to endanger America. Now shadowy networks have demonstrated the ability to inflict great chaos or suffering on our shores for less than it costs to produce a single tank or airplane. To defeat this threat, we must make use of every tool in our arsenal. Clearly, homeland security is now our Nation´s most urgent priority. The active involvement of our Armed Forces in defending America, supporting the Nation´s homeland security infrastructure is essential.
