I Consider Myself A Republican.

In Government, I'm A Strong Believer In The Need For Reform Of Government Agencies And Departments. They - They Have Gotten Fat And Sloppy, And They're Not User Friendly. They Are Inefficient. They Cost Too Much.

I've Been Very Sensitive For A Long Time To The Repeated Pattern, During Economic Hard Times Or After A War, Of The United States' Essentially Unilaterally Disarming.

If There's Ever An Example That Military Power Alone Cannot Be Successful In Afghanistan, I Think It Was The Soviet Experience.

I've Seen, All Too Often In My Career, People Coming In To Lead Agencies And Organizations And Trying To Impose Change From The Top Down. Never Works. You Never Have Enough Time.

I Wish I Could Set Deadlines For The Congress, But That's Just Not The Way The Constitution Is Written.
