You and I have talked about this. I've partnered with Senator Cotton on the counteract to update DoD's counter UAS authorities and ensure that all bases in particular are covered. Our bill will lead to an increase in the volume of requests to the Department of Transportation for real time execution and pre coordination of counter UAS packages.

So the DOT is not holding up DoD's counter US missions. (00:23–00:33)
