Thank you. Mr. Speaker. I strongly oppose this amendment which would require the Department of Defense to develop plans to eliminate 200,000 civilian employees. Well, I have news for you. This administration already did that [eliminate 200,000 civilian employees] and I saw the consequences with my own eyes. I had lunch with junior enlisted marines in Hawaii. They told me it took months to fix their broken washing machines. A full year to fix the sink in a barracks room. (03:26–03:32)
