him to the bill S. 4049, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year
2021 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy,
to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of subtitle B of title I, add the following:

SEC. 114. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON LONG-TERM INVESTMENT AND
SUSTAINMENT PLAN FOR A SECOND SOURCE FOR CANNON
TUBE PROCUREMENT.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) there are concerns with the depth and ability of the
cannon tube industrial base to meet the Army's long-term
demand;
(2) the current state of the supply chain risks not
sufficiently meeting the Army's modernization priorities; and
(3) the Army should develop and implement a long-term
investment and sustainment plan for a second-source for
cannon tube procurement to mitigate risk to the Army and the
industrial base.
