I want to compliment the gentleman on listening to what we discussed in the last go-around and then taking a hard look at land- based ICBMs, which I believe have always been the most vulnerable part of the triad. The most invulnerable part, of course, is our ballistic missile submarine--and bombers are second--but the land-based ICBMs are vulnerable. There is no question about that, and I do believe we can reduce the amount of money we are spending on strategic forces. I think the focus should be, as General Cartwright has suggested, on reducing the ICBMs. So this is a way to start this debate, and I am going to support the gentleman's amendment today.
