I'd like to begin by asking you both a specific question. With regard to the many systems that your commands rely on for missile warning, space based sensing and nuclear command and control, Most [missile warning, space-based sensing, and nuclear command and control systems] depend on access to key portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Can we talk a little bit about how critical it is to have assured access to the 3.1 to 3.45 portion of the band and the 7.4 to 8.4 band of the spectrum for the systems that Spacecom and Stratcom use to conduct your missions? (00:25–00:31)
