“What I was trying to say was the gentleman stood there just a few minutes ago and said no one came to the floor to talk about any weapons systems that were terminated or cancelled or stopped. That is not true. Because just a few minutes before that, I talked about Aerostat, a program that we stopped. I talked about JASSM, a program that we stopped despite the fact that there were many in the outside world who wanted to have these programs go forward. We did stop the programs. We made many cuts in the requests that we had received from all sources. I apologize to the gentleman if he is offended by my comment, but his comment offended me somewhat because we have made a list of numerous cuts and they are all listed in this report. I referred to it several times.”
