On the recordJune 13, 1996
I want to give one example of why I am concerned about this amendment, since we really have not had a chance to totally understand its effect: The tragedy of Secretary Ron Brown flying in an OSA aircraft into Croatia, losing his life and that of the crew and those with him, because the aircraft did not have certain types of safety equipment, including global positioning systems. Now, in this bill we provide money to outfit that fleet with GPS, a safety upgrade. Now, is that documented by something in the service? Did the Air Force ask for it? No. But we put it in and we think it is a good add. I just think we really need to know who would do the documentation, how will they do the documentation. I think there are too many questions unanswered in this, and I am like the gentleman from Pennsylvania, I would like to move along. Maybe we can address this in conference.
