On the recordOctober 11, 2000
The level of authorization for R&D provided over and above the administration's request, some $1 billion more, provides an impressive total of $38.8 billion for research, development, tests, and evaluation. The report strikes an excellent balance between mature R&D programs and investment for additional leap-ahead technologies. Major programs, such as the F-22 Raptor, Comanche, and Army Transformation Plan, will continue as programmed. In addition, the report deals responsibly with the Joint Strike Fighter program, given recent program slippage, and also robustly funds anti-submarine warfare initiatives. The outcome for the DD-21 program should give the Department ample room to make successful adjustments in this program.
