                               speech of

                           HON. DUNCAN HUNTER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 15, 1999

  Mr. HUNTER, Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my strong support 
for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000, S. 
1059, which includes the authorization of funds for the upgrade of Army 
weapon systems. I rise today to address the concern that the $3.5 
million increase, which was contained in the House-passed Fiscal Year 
2000 Defense Authorization Bill for software and hardware upgrades to 
Improved Moving Target Simulators was inadvertently dropped from the 
Conference Report on S. 1059, the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2000 due to an administrative error. The conferees 
intended to authorize this increase. It should be included in the 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2000.
