of defense, including the department of the air force, as a reliable partner for defense industry. if industry cannot count on the department of defense to be a good partner in being able to move forward with contracts, because we don't have on-time appropriations, think of the jobs in defense industry, the skill sets that are lost and atrophy. so this is a much bigger problem for the united states when we don't have on-time budgets. michael: if we could stay on that issue of supply chains for a moment. this has obviously been a concern we've been thinking harder about in the aftermath of the covid pandemic and then the ukraine crisis and conflict and we've realized, as a department, as a nation, that we have allowed ourselves to develop certain dependencies and bottlenecks in how we acquire especially components for weapons. how is the department doing -- the department of the air force, as well as d.o.d. from, your vantage point in trying to address this? some of the initial effort was just to try to understand it better, right? get more transparency on the subcontracto
