USAF Secretary Pick Professes Limited Knowledge on Space Issues

摘要

U.S. President Barack Obama's nominee to be the next secretary of the U.S. Air Force told lawmakers she would work on continuing to improve the service's space acquisition program, but sidestepped several other space-related questions including ones pertaining to national security satellite launches. In a written response to questions from the Senate Armed Services Committee, which is responsible for her confirmation, Deborah Lee James said she lacked detailed knowledge of many of the service's space programs. "I do understand many of these capabilities exist to support national security objectives," she wrote.
