Norman D. Dicks: “Unfortunately, that is not the way the gentleman wrote his amendment…”

On the recordJuly 6, 2011

Unfortunately, that is not the way the gentleman wrote his amendment; so I would stand with my provision which says further reductions risk harm to operations in the defense-wide account. So if you take 10 percent out of the account, it is going to affect Special Operations activities; education programs like the National Defense University, Defense Acquisition University--and Lord knows, we need help in acquisition; and organizations that perform basic operational functions like finance and human resources. I stand by my statement. I yield back the balance of my time.
