Mike Rogers: “I would just close by saying I have enormous respect for the gentleman from New Jersey. I just disagree on this…”

“I would just close by saying I have enormous respect for the gentleman from New Jersey. I just disagree on this particular issue. I would like to point out the GAO language in particular for this offset that I have offered. GAO says: The Air Force fiscal year 2017 RDT&E budget request for the KC-46 program could be reduced by up to $140 million because fiscal year 2016 RDT&E funds are potentially in excess to program need. So we have the money to pay for this. It is a critical national security need. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.”
