BLUEPRINT FOR AFFORDABILITY:

Story Summary

THIS MULTIVU REPORT BROUGHT TO YOU BY TASC, INC.

AS THE FEDERAL BUDGET BATTLE WAGES ON IN CONGRESS, THE PENTAGON IS BRACING FOR DRASTIC CUTS.

TOUGH DECISIONS LIE AHEAD AS THE GOVERNMENT DETERMINES WHICH PROGRAMS TO CUT, AND BY HOW MUCH.

NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERTS SAY DEFENSE AND INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS HAVE TO CONSIDER WHAT NATIONAL SECURITY NEEDS WILL LOOK LIKE IN 10, EVEN 20, YEARS. CAREFUL PLANNING, WITH CONSIDERATION OF BOTH RISK AND COST, ARE NECESSARY TO AVOID POTENTIALLY IRREVERSIBLE CONSQUENCES.

DAVID LANGSTAFF – PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF TASC:

"As a country, we must rise to the challenge of fulfilling our national responsibilities and demonstrate the courage to make the tough decisions about our safety and security. We must protect the mission capabilities we will need for the future, rather than the programs of the past. To preserve our national security at a price we can afford, we must invest in our cyber capabilities, systems engineering and other key technologies that will enable us to do more with less."
