Peter Visclosky: “I appreciate the gentleman's persistence to provide robust funding for…”

On the recordJune 18, 2019

I appreciate the gentleman's persistence to provide robust funding for the Navy's electromagnetic railgun and recognize that he has offered a similar amendment on the fiscal year 2019 appropriations bill. I would point out to my colleagues that the bill currently fully funds the budget request of the administration at $15 million for the railgun program. While I do not think the additional $10 million investment will accelerate the development of a demonstrator mount and continued testing, I have no objection to the gentleman's amendment.
