Armed Services Committee Hearing
[Share This]
Posted by: Sen. Richard Burr
Today, I had the opportunity to attend my first Armed Services Committee Hearing as a member of the committee. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is scheduled to testify today on the challenges facing the Department of Defense. I have worked with Secretary Gates over the past couple of years in my role on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and I am looking forward to working with him from the perspective of the Armed Services Committee. This committee assignment will give me new opportunities and tools to help North Carolina’s military communities and respond to the challenges facing military families throughout our state, the nation and across the globe.
