Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, today released the following statement on James Mazol\u2019s confirmation to be the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering.\n\n\u201cI can think of no one better than James Mazol to assume these responsibilities. He has the knowledge, experience, and vision to advance the horizons of America\u2019s defense technology. I was privileged to benefit from Mr. Mazol\u2019s service on both my Commerce and Armed Services committee staffs, as well as in my personal office. His work ethic, brilliance, and integrity always stood out. The United States is safer with James Mazol in the role of Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. James has a sharp understanding of the threat environment the United States faces, particularly as it pertains to China\u2019s advancements in critical technology areas. I look forward to partnering with him and his office to meet America\u2019s defense needs.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.wicker.senate.gov/2025/12/chairman-wicker-applauds-james-mazol-s-confirmation-as-deputy-undersecretary-of-defense-for-research-and-engineering"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8358999621123075, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
