WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) today released the following statement after President Barack Obama nominated former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense:
“Chuck Hagel’s military career is nothing short of admirable and while he has been a long-time friend, we do have very different opinions on many very important issues. Now that he has been nominated, he has an obligation to elaborate on his past statements and fully explain his positions during what I expect to be a thorough and fair confirmation hearing.”
