Charles Robb said "Let me say, however, that there was one comment with respect to the defense question and who is taking the hits and who is not. If you look at these charts which have been used by others and are familiar to Members, look at the summit baseline that we started with in 1990. These are not adjusted amounts. This one is in constant 1990 dollars. You have something in excess of $300 billion. The 1990 summit agreement took that down to the point where we are about $240 billion, and in constant dollars the Bottom-Up Review takes that down to about $200 billion." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
