     SEC. 866. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MUNITIONS SUPPLY CHAIN 
                   DIVERSITY.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) a viable and diverse United States manufacturing base 
     in munitions development and production is vitally important;
       (2) the military success of the United States and United 
     States allies relies on the ability of United States 
     manufacturers to produce bunker buster bombs; and
       (3) as the Air Force develops and procures the next 
     generation of munitions, the Secretary of the Air Force 
     should ensure adequate capacity and a diverse supply chain 
     for the current and future development of and manufacturing 
     capability for these important munitions.
                                 ______
