We have time for I think a few questions before we break to go vote FY40. Excuse me. FY27 budget request includes 27.5 billion for the Department of Air Force 321.7 billion requests and reconciliation. It includes 17.5 billion for the Golden Dome, 7.1 billion for space based AMTI, 2.3 billion for 14F35s, 4.6 billion for Air Force munitions and 5.6 billion for facilities sustainment and restoration. The facilities that you're talking about that are in dire need, Secretary, these are obviously high priority items that are included in the Department's mandatory request. (34:15–34:33)
