Default The CBO is proposing to kill GPS IIIB and IIIC

From the Preface of the report:

"This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study . . . was prepared at
the request of the former
Chairman of the Defense Subcommittee of the House Committee on
Appropriations . . . "

That was Norm Dicks (D-WA).

The current chairman is C. W. Bill Young (R-FL).

The subcommittee's web site doesn't seem to mention this report at
all.

Nor does Mr. Dicks.

This report seems to be getting more attention within the GPS
community than it's getting from Congress.
