Ray Locker talked about how the sequestration process would affect the defense and military budget, and he responded to telephone calls and electronic communications. Sequestration called for a series of automatic, across-the-board cuts to government agencies, totaling $1.2 trillion over 10 years.

Topics included the causes of sequestration, and the reasons many in the military and defense department felt the cuts would be too severe. close
