Because it seems to me, before we fund something, we ought to know where things are.

But the question is, has it made a difference?

And you're $800 million into it.

Is it possible that NIF will not achieve ignition?

I do not agree.

In the Senate, there was a considerable debate about whether to go ahead with this facility or not.

Well, the Iranians are doing that, too.

And if you can't achieve ignition, that becomes a very big deal in terms of testing of weapons.

So we didn't fund it.

But what effect will this have on the W76 in the Navy?

Is that correct?

We made an offer to the House. The House turned it down.

So here we go.

This is a big issue and obviously is going to be in the House, too.

Okay, good.

$700 million over 13 years.

I don't know why any nation would want to go nuclear.

That's $1.5 billion essentially wasted.
