we need to put whatever funding is available to ramp up F-35 production rates

Let me move back to the fighter gap.

We have to be concerned, though, and we all pray that the economy turns around, but for recruiters that'll make life difficult again, I'm sure.

While the Army remains the best led, trained, and equipped army in the world, it is out of balance.

I would echo Senator Chambliss' comments about budgetary factors driving a lot of our decisionmaking.

General Trautman, will you have aviation training ranges ready to support the full spectrum of F-35 operations?

the transparency issue and price discovery, however those are regulated going into the future, that those elements be a part of any solution.

It is critical, back to Senator Chambliss' questions, that we have international cooperation.

I think we have to figure out how do we do that in a way that is responsible, that is smart.

It seems to me that the question is there clearly needs to be some kind of reform of the regulatory system.

What's the rationale for completely closing dealerships now, if you plan to have a larger presence in the same area in the near term?

Right now we have the Auto Task Force, we've got, of course, U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, the White House, a lot of folks involved in the decisionmaking process.
