Thank you, Chairman Rogers, and I do want to engage in a quick colloquy on the Medium Extended Air Defense System, known as MEADS. As you are aware, the fiscal year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act included a provision of law that prohibits funds from being obligated or expended on the MEADS program. There has been some confusion over the wording on the program in the Defense appropriations report before us. I would like to verify that it is your intent that the prohibition created in the NDAA is law and not changed or overridden by anything in this bill. I yield to the chairman.
