The orion and sls the vanguard of the program are the key to advancing these interests. I look forward to hearing from mr. Gerstenmaier and ms. Chaplain about the challenges and opportunities facing these important programs. I now recognize the Ranking Member from maryland. Its been a good morning to the witnesses.

Moreover, it does not appear that orion and the ground system can achieve the earlier date. And the longterm we have concerns about the cost es ....
Shortfall. e the president s budget to keep sls and1f orion on budget and s 8g schedule. I realize thisus a tough question for you to answer because you have tow2 efend the president s budget request, but congress is ultimately responsible for funding this program insuring taxpayer dollars are sufficiently spent. Given [ that nasa has delayed the launch, what funding level will keep the date on track . I would say that the recent review we did that christina talked about, we committed to a joint confidence level of 70 and]ca]n in november of 2018 launch and thats consistent with the budgets weve submitted to congress through the administration, so thats a consistent plan. Weve been trying to work to ab earlier schedule based on the Risk Mitigation or extra funding weve received from congress so weve kind of kept both plans in place so we take the funds that have been given by congress and use that in an effective matter launch da ....
