Statement of Robert D. Reischauer, Director, Congressional Budget Office before the Subcommittee on Procurement and Military Nuclear Systems and the Subcommittee on Research and Development Committee on Armed Services U.S. House of Representatives

Abstract

Like so many defense programs, tactical aircraft will face tough budgetary problems in the coming years. The problems may be sufficiently serious to demand radical solutions, such as cutting the size of forces, consolidating missions, or accepting cheaper mixes of aircraft. The sequencing of the development and purchase of new and modified planes may also deserve review, lest problems of affordability delay the time when the oldest fleet of medium-attack aircraft is modernized.
