“I have a chart that shows the reset requirements of the Army and Marine Corps. Again, I say to the Senate, the Defense Department identified a $23.7 billion requirement for resetting the force, bringing it back up to operational capability. The amount included was $17.1 billion for the Army and $6.6 billion for the Marine Corps. The fiscal year 2007 Defense appropriations bill which we have presented to the Senate included $10.6 billion that would directly address these needs. The remaining need was $13.3 billion. That was addressed in the amendment Senator Inouye and I presented last evening. I ask unanimous consent the chart be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: ARMY AND MARINE CORPS RESET NEEDS [$ in billions] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Remaining Total need FY 2007 needs identified bill as (Stevens- by DOD proposed Inouye amendment) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Army: Equipment.................... 8.6 3.6 5.0 Maintenance.................. 8.5 5.7 2.8 Total, Army.............. 17.1 9.3 7.8 Marine Corps: Equipment.................... 5.3 1.1 4.2 Maintenance.................. 1.3 0.2 1.1 Total, Marine Corps...... 6.6 1.3 5.3 Total in the Bill.... 23.7 10.6 13.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amendments Nos.…”
