  13. 'Strategic dispersal' of our aircraft carrier fleet is critically important. Now all assets are bunched up at Norfolk, VA.
  14. Sen Armed Services Cmte hearing. Asked if SECNAV-des supports 'strategic dispersal' of our aircraft carrier fleet. He refused to answer.
  15. I will oppose the confirmation of Kathleen Sebelius for HHS Secy. Her ability to do the job will be adversely affected by her extreme views.
