On the recordMay 16, 2007
Reclaiming my time, I said that very easily I would be happy to accept the amendment. Frankly, we have had a markup in the subcommittee and a markup in the full committee over the last 3 weeks, and any time, if the gentleman had come to me and said that he needed clarification for what these funds could be used for, I would have been happy to clarify for him. And I hope he now feels it has been clarified. It has always been operationally possible for the RDT&E money to be used for operational alerts. That is what they have been used for before. So I am happy to accept the gentleman's amendment. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
