we have ignored allies and partners in the middle east when it comes to u.s. interests that could be profound. we face threats on multiple fronts. there are threats that we do not contemplate. secondary austin and general brown, i would like your comments on if it is time to actually rewrite the national defense strategy. is it adequate for the threats that i mentioned? let me say this with regard to my good friends comments with regard to the caps in the fiscal responsibility act. i disagree that the administration was prevented from asking for more for national security and defense then is contained in the cap. as a matter of fact, the president budget request with regard to domestic spending is $76 billion over the fiscal responsibility cap and for some reason, the administration chose to adhere to that capital only with regard to our most important duties defending this country and making sure that national security is in order. i do have confidence that working together with members on either side of the chair, will be able to work alongside the committee
