Richard Shelby: “Could you provide us with some more detail, if you have any yet, of which programs are being delayed, and why?”

As Senator Shelby at our Senate testimony hearing last March pointed out to us, we must maintain what we have before we can build new, and I think he hits the mark head-on.

I am concerned about this--what this communicates to both our allies and our adversaries.

A lot of people, including this Senator, believe that the request is not enough considering the problems in the world.

Deterrence requires spending our limited resources on both offensive and defensive weapons.
