Defense Writers Group
7 February 2023
Moderator: Welcome everyone to this Defense Writers Group with Senator Jack Reed who we all know is Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Senator Reed’s meetings with us are really one of the highlights of the year. The ground rules are as always. This meeting is on the record, but there’s no rebroadcast of audio or video. I’ll ask the first question. A number of you have already emailed in advance to ask for questions. I’ll go through those first. If anyone else wants to ask a question please drop a note in direct chat to let me know. With that, Senator Reed, one note. More than 45 reporters RSVP’d, one of our biggest groups ever which shows the great interest in your comments today, sir. So thank you for joining us.
Senator Reed: My pleasure, Thom. Thank you.
