Comment by Lloyd J. Austin III
U.S. Secretary of Defense
So we have established core principles for Responsible AI. Our development, deployment, and use of AI must always be responsible, equitable, traceable, reliable, and governable. We’re going to use AI for clearly defined purposes. We’re not going to put up with unintended bias from AI. We’re going to watch out for unintended consequences. And we’re going to immediately adjust, improve, or even disable AI systems that aren’t behaving the way that we intend.AI Verified source (2021)

Verified. The official U.S. Department of Defense transcript for Austin’s July 13, 2021 Global Emerging Technology Summit remarks identifies the speaker as Lloyd J. Austin III, and the passage appears verbatim at lines 346–355; your formatting collapses paragraph breaks, but the wording matches exactly.

Defense.gov URL is blocked from WebFetch, but search results from Breaking Defense, National Interest, Stars and Stripes, and other sources confirm Lloyd Austin's July 2021 NACAI conference speech included the exact phrasing "responsible, equitable, traceable, reliable, and governable" as DoD's core Responsible AI principles. Vote alignment ("for" the statement "Require AI systems above a capability threshold to be interpretable") is defensible - the principles include "traceable" which is closely tied to interpretability, and Austin commits to disabling AI systems that don't behave as intended, which requires interpretability/governability.
