Given Ernest's remarks, I put forward the following amendment:

That section 1 be removed from this bill and the remaining sections be renumbered accordingly.

May I ask how the figure of $3 billion was arrived at?

While I can support an up-grading programme, I'm afraid that I can't support this without a more detailed breakdown as to how the $3 billion will be spent.

Nay, for much the same reasons as Jake outlined.

Firstly, may I say that I welcome the President's line item veto.

Secondly, may I ask the bill's author a few questions (as these are matters with which I'm very unfamiliar).

1. How the number of aircraft to be puchased and leased was arrived at? Do these purchases represent outright additions to the military stock or are they replacements for aircraft currently in use?

2. Why the decision to lease the KC-767 upgrades, instead of buying them outright? Also, how long would the lease last?

I thank the outgoing Senator for his reply.
