Book excerpt: Excerpt from Department of Defense Authorization for Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2004, Vol. 1: Hearing Before the Committee on Armed Services United States Senate One Hundred Eight Congress First Session S. 1050 I close by saying that transformation is not an event, there is not a point at which the Defense Department will move from being untransformed to transformed. Our goal is to set in motion a proc ess of continuing transformation in a culture that will keep the United States several steps ahead of potential adversaries. To do that, we need not only resources but equally we need the ability to use them with speed and agility, so that we can respond quickly to the new threats we will face as the century unfolds. I feel deeply about the urgency of seeing that we transform the Department and enable it to serve the American people and our friends and allies in a responsible way in the 2lst century. We will have to work together if we are to best serve the country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
