On the recordJune 17, 2004
What happens with the step-by-step process in the Reed amendment which leads to delays and additional costs, the Warner amendment refines that down so it is more streamlined and becomes palatable to us who would like to see rapid deployment of some kind of missile defense system for this country. It is not going to be perfect. That is why we have spiral development. We are going to develop it and improve upon it with time. This is a process we have used before. It works and it is something that is going to assure us that we will have security rapidly deployed for this country where we have emerging threats in Iran and North Korea.
