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.
