just to run through a couple, $321 million would have gone a long way and almost fully funded the guam missile defense project that we are not spending money on. we can go through this list about things being spread too thin and missing what our real priorities are. i don't have time to go through them all but they are significant. the final question with the time that i have is, this question of the base, we need to step up. as it relates to our industrial base, i supported the plus up. i think we should be spending more. there are a couple of things that could be done to produce the things that we need. we don't have enough of what we need. what are a couple of those topline suggestions that you have? what could be done differently? >> members of this committee have done their job for a multiyear securement, which is one of the most important things. industry responds to the notion that they will have a long timeline to produce this. it would be helpful at the appropriators would make sure that their dollar is appropriated for the department. that, i know, is one of the problems that
