The undersecretary can do better justice than i can. There are classified and unclassified elements to it. I would say we are talking about pretty far down the road. Not as an alternative to the joint Strike Fighter but what follows the joint Strike Fighter i dont think there is a conflict between it. I was mr. Kendalls battle buddy. You know what he says. It is be on fighter aircraft. It is how to dominate in air combat. There is a whole list of things about driving and developing technology for 15 to 40 years down the future.

Could you please tell us a little bit about the part of your budget document that is called federal budget exposure to cli
