We are not saying you shouldn’t be con- complete list. The annual review of issues reminds us cerned about the CBO Options book. Some of the options in that there are many members of the military community past books were put into the Administration’s annual budget who have legitimate needs that have gone unmet. - thankfully they were not adopted by the Congress. Since we cannot win action on everything we have to do some practical prioritizing. MOAA National has a Don’t forget to send those four letters out. procedure for identifying the issues that affect the most people, the issues that are the most severe, and the issues that are likely winnable. Following their lead we can Maj Frank Parks, (Ret) channel our efforts to get the biggest bang for our buck. With that in mind, I wish to call to your attention four letters in the February issue of MILITARY OFFICER. MOAA is asking that we send these letters to the Chair- man and Ranking Minority Member of the Senate and House Committees on Armed Services. In addition you can write your Representative asking him to sign on as a co-sponsor to HB 816, The Military Retirees Health Care Protection Act and HB 1016, Veter- ans Health Care Budget Reform & Transparency Act of 2009. You should also write our two Senators to ask them to co-sponsor S 423, the companion bill to HB 1016. There is not as yet a companion bill to HB 816, but you can ask them to consider cosponsoring the Sen- ate Bill when it is filed. There have been other bills filed which will affect the military community. You can find a list of these on the MOAA web site under “Legislative Affairs” and then “Key Bills”. When you find a bill that you are interested in, you can “click” on it to learn more and then decide whether you should write your Congressmen or not. Last month I discussed an email that President Ed Marvin sent out to the staff asking that we study it and submit our opinions. In the Legislative Report I advised that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had submit- ted the report as an “option” for the Congress to consider and act upon if they so desired. Like VP Jim Cunningham, I contacted MOAA Na- tional, and although we spoke to different staff officers we received the same information. The CBO submits an “options” report to the Congress each year providing various options that can be studied and adopted by the Congress as they see fit.

  • Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks on International
    Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks on International Women's Day and an Exchange With Reporters March 8, 2021 The President. Thank you, Madam Vice President, and thank you, Mr. Secretary. On Friday, I submitted to the Senate for confirmation my first slate of nominations for four- star command positions in our Armed Forces, among them, two outstanding and eminently qualified warriors and patriots. General Jacqueline Van Ovost—and United States Air Force is currently the only female four-star officer serving in our military. I nominated her as Commander of the United States Transportation Command. And when confirmed, the Lieutenant General Laura Richardson, of the United States Army, will be promoted in rank and join General Van Ovost as the only four-star—as another four-star general. I nominated her as Commander in the United States Southern Command. And, when confirmed, they will become the second and third women in the history of the United States Armed Forces to lead combatant commands. Each of these women have led careers demonstrating incomparable skill, integrity, and duty to country. And at every step, they've also helped push open the doors of opportunity to women in our military, blazing the trail a little wider, a little brighter for all the proud women following in their path and looking to their example. And I wanted to shine the light on these accomplishments for those women today because General Van Ovost—as reiterated in an interview this last week, and I'm the second person to say this—it's hard to be what you can't see.

CARTER, Secretary of Defense; born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 24, 1954; education: earned his bachelor’s degrees in physics and in medieval history, summa cum laude, at Yale University, where he was also awarded Phi Beta Kappa; received his doctorate in theoretical physics from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He was a physics instructor at Oxford, a postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an experimental research associate at Brookhaven and Fermilab National Laboratories. From 1993–1996, Secretary Carter served as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy, responsible for—among other issues—strategic affairs, nuclear weapons policy, and the Nunn-Lugar program that removed nuclear weapons from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. Secretary Carter also served on the Defense Policy Board, the Defense Science Board, and the Secretary of State’s Inter- national Security Advisory Board. From 2009 to 2011, he was Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics with responsibility for DoD’s procurement reform and innovation agenda and successful completion of key procurements like the KC–46 tanker. In this capacity, Secretary Carter also led the development and production of thousands of mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles and other rapid acquisitions that saved countless service members’ lives. Determined to get the most for both the warfighters and the taxpayer, Secretary Carter instituted ‘‘Better Buying Power’’ for the first time guiding the department acquisition workforce to smarter and leaner purchasing.
