Statement
Issues: Defense
Following today's meeting with Central Intelligence Agency Director Leon Panetta, President Obama's nominee to replace Defense Secretary Robert Gates, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released this statement:
"I enjoyed meeting Director Panetta and I stressed to him that more responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars needs to be a top priority of the department, especially fixing the Pentagon's broken bookkeeping systems. The Pentagon must learn to spend Americans' taxpayer dollars more wisely and efficiently and I look forward to working with Director Panetta to achieve that goal and ensure our Armed Forces remain second to none."
