On the recordMay 27, 2010
I rise today in support of the Pingree amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. I believe today we must stand firmly on the side of fiscal responsibility and refuse to fund a redundant engine that our military leaders and our Commander in Chief all said is unnecessary and unwarranted. Today I am saying no, and I think this House should as well. I don't think we need two engines on this plane. I believe that we need to save $3 billion every time we get a chance. Our country cannot afford to waste precious tax dollars funding this program the military says they don't need.
