The per unit cost of the C-17 or whatever it might be is lower to the U.S. Government so, bottom line, we save jobs, we save the industrial base, we lower the cost of defense purchases for the U.S. Government. For all these reasons I think this proposed change in the law is a good idea, and I oppose the amendment being offered by my very good friends over here.
