We have a budget that is 99 percent put together by the Pentagon, 1 percent put together by the members of the defense committees and the Members of Congress. I think that is a pretty good balance, and I think the good judgment and wisdom of Members like the ones who wanted to see the changes in the aircraft that would bring about greater safety, like those who wanted to see greater ammunition accounts should be listened to and relied on by our fellow Members of Congress.
