Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for his amendment. The amendment proposes to add funding back to the JLTV program, cutting the House defense bill due to a lack of information provided by the Army budget justification. The cut to the JLTV program reflects the committee's concern with the Army's failure to provide the full budget justification information for an $804 million program. Failure to provide this information makes it impossible for the committee to exercise its fiscal oversight responsibilities. However, the JLTV program is important to the warfighter and is executing well. I do not oppose this amendment.
