Book excerpt: Excerpt from Department of Defense Authorization for Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2005, Vol. 3: Hearings Before the Committee on Armed Services United States Senate One Hundred Eighth Congress Second Session Our commitment to improve current and future readiness is steadfast, even when this entails making tough choices, such as canceling the Comanche aircraft program. Now, we can talk about it in the questions and answers, but we need the committee's sup port to retain the Comanche resources to fix Army aviation. The 2005 President's budget will enable our Army to provide our combatant commanders with the requisite land-power capabilities for the global war on terrorism, homeland defense, and other worldwide commitments. It covers our baseline operations, the 15 critical systems in our recapitalization program, and our trans formation program. It does not address the ongoing missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the recovery from those missions. Your support of this budget and war-related costs of our ongoing operations is critical if our units are to continue their remarkable performance and remain ready for future contingencies. We appreciate your dedication to your military and to America's sons and daughters, who are Operating selflessly around the world defending this great country. Thank you, Senator, for the opportunity. I look forward to taking your questions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
