I concur with Senator Warner's earlier statement, that the $15 million for the Starstreak evaluation should be placed in PE 63003A and be provided for the purpose of continuing the Starstreak evaluation. As chairman of the Acquisition and Technology Subcommittee, I am pleased to join my colleagues in working to bring this development program to a successful conclusion. The position and legislative intent of the committee as articulated in this colloquy will supersede that expressed in the committee report. Appropriate corrections will be made during conference on this bill with the House of Representatives, and the Army will be notified of our position on this issue.
