With regard to the lack of specific detail in the budget request for the Department of Defense, I take great pride in Wisconsin's contributions to our national defense. And that includes many Wisconsinites who are hard at work building the Constellation class frigate. There is no mention of frigate procurement [in the budget request for the Department of Defense]. Just like Senator Collins noted that there's no mention of destroyer procurement in the budget materials that you provided to this committee. My state makes the frigate. (02:03–02:08)
