Graham comments on Carter’s Nomination as Defense Secretary

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) issued the following statement on the nomination of Ashton Carter for Secretary of Defense. “Ashton Carter has the knowledge and capability to serve as Secretary of Defense during these difficult times. He has proven to be a leading voice when it comes to articulating the damage done to our military by budget cuts. I expect he will face tough questions at his confirmation hearing about President Obama’s failing national security policy, but I expect he will be confirmed.”
