If you take down the test bed, you in effect are going to stop the progress of the missile defense program. The real issue is, if you take down any part of it, it is so intertwined and interconnected, you slow down and stop the whole system. Your comments are very pertinent. They are very much in order. I have tremendous concern that this in effect is going to undo what the Congress has worked so hard to do. If you remember, initially the legislation directed that we move forward on missile defense as soon as technologically feasible. We are ready to move ahead, and we need to.
