BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, national defense is the No. 1 priority of
the Federal Government. My amendment increases defense spending, but
pays for it with spending cuts. It is irresponsible and dangerous to
continue to put America further into debt, even for something we need.
We need national defense, but we should pay for it.

America does not project power from bankruptcy court. We need a
strong national defense, but we should be honest with the American
people and pay for it.
