Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Don't be presumptuous enough to tell me my motivations. We looked for many pay-fors in this plan. What we have is plain and simple. We have enhancement of the security of our country because we have a plan that works and that will save lives and help us resolve missile-defense issues by tracking them versus a pay-for that we located that was $400 million over budget. I only took 9 percent of that, leaving 91 percent of that intact because I think this tradeoff enhances our security. I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. McKEON. I yield my remaining 30 seconds to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Turner).
