     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST REDUCING FUNDING FOR LEGACY

       (1) reduce funds for legacy manned and unmanned aerial 
     systems without like capacity provided by yielded fifth 
     generation, or beyond, systems; or
       (2) result in the inability to repurpose these legacy

     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly
