On the recordJuly 31, 1995
But we do not have them yet. We have six of them now. I am looking out 20 years. I think our responsibility should be to really look out 20 years, 30 years, 40 years. I know one of my good friends on the other side of this issue has said there will be another bomber at some point. I think that is a total fallacy. It takes $10 billion to $15 billion now to get a fighter up, ready to be built. Who around here is going to vote $25 billion, $30 billion or $40 billion just to get another bomber developed? Why spend that kind of money when we have the great B-2?
