Mr. Chair, we have to separate what has been requested by the President in past budgets and what has been approved by congress. The figure of about $14 million being approved in this year for missile defence is based on a $47 million request by the President. Congress ended up approving $14 million, which is .15% of the overall missile defence budget.
What the administration asks for and what it gets from congress are two different things. Let us deal with the facts rather than speculation. That is all I am saying.
