(2) the United States Armed Forces rely 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.
