On the recordMay 9, 2002
Mr. Chairman, during the testimony when General Eberhardt was before our committee, and a question was put to him as to what is of utmost importance for the future, his answer was what we call SBIRS, Space-Based Infrared System. I think that is very, very important to the defense of our country, based upon General Eberhardt's comments to us that day. Now, based upon the colloquy between the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Tierney) and the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Spratt), it is apparent that the SBIRS, or the space-based infrared systems, are exempt from the language and the intent of this amendment, which allows me, based upon that, to support this amendment.
