“I do know there were enough examples of it that I thought it warranted an issue. I point out, again--I say this to my friend and Senator Levin as well--my colleagues have done a terrific job. There is a difference in this budget between what was sent and what the committee is asking us to support when it comes to these issues, and the significant increase, from $57 million to $262 million for buying additional equipment, is a significant amount of money. I commend both Senators for doing that. There were other areas where additional resources were provided by the committee that were not otherwise requested by the DOD. I applaud my colleagues for that.”
