This past week, President Obama addressed Congress and the nation on the State of the Union. It's a tradition mandated by the Constitution and one of the great institutions of our country.

I commend the Secretary's effort to increase efficiency and streamline the Department of Defense, but those efforts should not come at the expense of the safety of our men and women in uniform or our national security. As Chairman of the House Armed Services' Strategic Forces Subcommittee I have the obligation to ensure that does not happen.

With the new Congress underway, there are many priorities we must confront. We still have much work to do to put Ohioans back to work and addressing the culture of reckless spending in Washington. I look forward to working with Speaker Boehner and the 100 newly elected Members of Congress to accomplish these goals for the people of Southwest Ohio.
