Trump administration is changing the outlook for defense right now . Their first shot was an increase, the 54 billion, but i think probably more important is ifhe actual numbers, they can repeal the budget control act, as they have suggested they would do. That, in my mind, is what produces the inns ability in the defense budget. We have to do one and twoyear deals to adjust that budget control act. Its almost impossible for the department to do any longterm planning. To see that reveal is the first priority. Are you hopeful that will happen . As you anticipate that happening, has that changed the outlook and some of the planning on your side . I think if it does happen, you get growth and you are able to plan theto invest, and i think administration is committed to doing it.

So, all of that in the 1950s and 60s, two of long and bitter struggle to become almost firstclass american citizens today. The story of this change in the hearts and minds of america played itself out over about 65 years. To tell the story i interviewed more than 150 people. I went to archives over the country. I i finally ended up using about 20 archives. What i wanted to do here, i wanted to present the historical back. I wanted to present figures, but even more than that i wanted to look at the individuals who created those facts. The individuals who are behind the figures. To give you an example of the kind of thing i do, and, i discuss how in the 1950s homosexuals and all of us were called home a strolls whether we are lesbian, gay, or transgender or those who call themselves queer today. We are all considered mentally ill. I then zoom in on a story of a wom

I would disagree in the sense therethere is already been sevl places where they have input and they can continue to have input. They continue to respond to the 2010 guidelines, which are part of the foundation and the information we take into consideration. So its an ongoing education process. I dont think it ever stops. That may not be a formalized period of time but it never stops. The gentlemans time has expired. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thanks to the witnesses were testifying today.
