I would make this point to the distinguished ranking member of the Committee on Appropriations. Is he aware that the administration has yet to request one dollar of funding for the Nautilus program, that he has told the Israelis is the highest priority for their national security? Is the gentleman aware there has been no request for that funding, yet we in this bill and the authorization bill are taking the lead to provide that funding?
