In addition to the billions requested for the F35 Enterprise, several of these programs I consider highest priority are being funded through the mandatory request. 17.5 billion for golden dome, 7.7 billion for air moving target indicator. 4.6 billion for munitions procurement and 3.9 billion for space Data Network. Mandatory funding bypasses the annual appropriations process. Which is how Congress exercises its oversight responsibility. If these programs are as critical as the budget request suggests, and I believe they are. (01:16–01:28)
