On the recordJune 19, 1996
As the chairman of the Air-Land Forces Subcommittee, I can attest that the committee's intent is to authorize $15 million in program element 63003A explicitly for the continuation air-to-air Starstreak evaluation. The committee's report inadvertently implies that Starstreak would be evaluated alongside Stinger and placed the funds in the incorrect funding line. This was not the committee's intent and will be corrected during conference with the House.
