Thank you, Chair, Ranking Member Johnson, and the Members of the Subcommittee. Before I start, I view my job here today to really help frame a larger conversation. That conversation really is about the defining competition of the 21st century and that is the race to shape what we are starting to call agentic AI. When I say agentic AI, I am not just talking about everybody playing with an LLM here or there or narrow imagery recognition. I am talking about the next level where all these applications start to work together and they start to generate actual knowledge, influence our decisions, and even help us manage complex tasks at scale. Frankly, whoever leads this agentic AI race is going to shape the rules of the future international order and I am not being hyperbolic. I sincerely mean that. If you talk about the efficiencies, the economic growth, the changing\n\n[WITNESS - Mr. Jensen follows:]]\nGRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT Mr. Issa. Thank you. Dr. Villasenor.",

The way this Senate job works is you don't want to miss any votes, so we are up there 40 to 42 weeks a year, and so it is a little harder than my time as Governor to get around the state, but it is nice to be here. I want to have a big thank-you to the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Department and the sheriff for hosting us here today. I would like to recognize there are a lot of local leaders here and a lot of friends that I have had the opportunity to create relationships with over the last 15 years since I started running for Governor who are joining us today for this very important discussion.

New advances in AI will transform the way we live, do business, and interact with the world. These advances also have significant implications for our foreign policy and, importantly, national security. The United States and our allies must lead the world in developing the transformational technologies and the standards that govern them. That will shape the future.

From the very first Trump Administration, many will recall a key China policy issue as the global race to fifth generation (5G) of wireless network technology. We urged caution to our foreign partners by both the executive and the legislative branch and our friends around the world about telecom infrastructure.

I open with this example of 5G because, in the broader context of our economic and geopolitical rivalry with China, it is often neglected. Instead, narrow questions end up taking an existential importance. One day, it is the race to 5G; the next day, it is concern over a trendy Chinese app like TikTok; or, today, it is DeepSeek's ability to answer a question in more or less time than a U.S. competitor.

I want to thank our witnesses for being here today to discuss the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) and the role that each one of these departments plays in helping our members transition from being an active duty servicemember, a productive member of the military, to a productive member of society as a civilian. I want to make sure that we adhere to our strict nonpartisan position, the spirit of this committee. I know Mr. Pappas shares my intention there. He is a good man. As a former SEAL that served our country for 26 years and I have first-hand knowledge of how difficult it can be to go from being in a military member to being a civilian, and I am not kidding you. I used to wake up for, like, 2 years after I retired wondering where my gun was.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for holding this oversight hearing on the Transition Assistance Program. We know before servicemembers leave the military we must ensure that they are adequately prepared to rejoin civilian life. This includes having a plan for employment and housing, as well as healthcare and other social supports. Under normal circumstances over 150,000 servicemembers leave the military each year and their ability to successfully reintegrate in civilian life depends on many factors and the Federal Government is spending more than $13 billion each year to support these efforts. Without clear oversight of these programs, it is challenging to know what will give our transitioning servicemembers the best outcomes possible, so this is an area of concern for me because the TAP data presented at this last hearing in September 2024 indicates that DoD is struggling to comply with the transition process 1 year in advance of separating or 2 years in advance of reti",

The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation will come to order. Before we discuss today's hearing, I want to touch on a separate aviation matter. Last week, this committee held a hearing on the January 29th DCA mid-air collision. Brigadier General Matthew Braman, the Director of the Office of Army Aviation, appeared on behalf of the Army. At the hearing, both Ranking Member Cantwell and I requested an Army memo outlining its standard operating procedures for when Army helicopters could forego broadcasting their locations and altitudes while flying near DCA airport. The Army had earlier refused to provide the memo to my staff despite being allowed to do so by the independent crash investigator, the NTSB. Given the opportunity to be transparent, the Army again refused to commit to providing the memo, which is entitled, ``Automatic Dependent Broadcast Surveillance, or ADS-B Out Off Operations in the National Airspace''. So Ranking Member Cantwell and I followed the hearing with a joint letter explicitly requesting the unredacted memo. Now, for the third time, we made clear to the General that he had 24 hours to provide that memo or there would be real consequences. It has now been five days since the hearing, and the Army has still not provided the memo. It begs the question, what doesn't the Army want Congress or the American people to know about why it was flying partially blind to the other aircraft and to \n\n[WITNESS - Senator Cruz........................................     1]\n\n\n[WITNESS - Senator Cantwell....................................     4]\n",

And we thank you very much for what you're doing. We are here today to talk about a very serious issue, and that is the need to reauthorize and expand the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, also known here in DC as WIOA. In 2022, WIOA provided career and training services to nearly 300,000 adults, 212,000 dislocated workers, 37,000 youth, and 2.3 million individuals through employment services and employment service programs to connect people with good jobs. It also supported literacy training and basic education for 1.1 million adults. It supports a network of 2,400 American Job Centers so that Americans in any community across this country can walk int\n\n[WITNESS - SENATOR CASSIDY]\nSenator Cassidy. Thank you, Chairman Sanders. There's about 8 million job openings in the United States and the unemployment rate is low, but so is the workforce participation. That's a bad sign. To put it in context, about 37 percent of working-age adults nationwide are unemployed and not looking for work. Again, that's not good. Idle hands are a devil's workshop is the old proverb, but people do better if they're gainfully employed. Many Americans are not receiving job training because of a workforce development program which is just not working well. Current Federal workforce funding prioritizes bloating government bureaucracy less than in investing in worker skill. That is why reauthorizing and improving the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Grant, WIOA--always reminds me of one of those songs from Lion King. Anyway, WIOA is so important. WIOA funds programs assisting Americans in obtaining crucial job skills as well as to connect job seekers with employment activities. But Cong",

In essence, ITAR-free zones will allow us to develop and build the most cutting-edge military technologies like hypersonics together. In my view, these are our closest allies. They are members of Five Eyes.

You have to count me, however, as skeptical that there is something we can do to prevent the bad guys from doing bad things. It strikes me that they will use every tool available, and now there is a whole host of new tools associated with cyber and AI and quantum and so forth that they see as vehicles to do what they want to do.

Furthermore, the U.S. is in possession of UAP technologies, as are some of our adversaries.
