What will replace the tanks. aircraft. and ships defense contractors currently manufacture has received far less attention than that they stop. The Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee has undertaken a littlenoticed initiative to put considerations of product at the forefront of defense conversion. Anyone even vaguely familiar with the defense budget is aware that the DOD has played safe haven for a host of industrial policy refugees over the last several years. The subcommittee has sifted out these commercially oriented dualuse technology programs. lumped them together in a single defense conversion account. and provided the Secretary of Defense the authority to fund these critical technologies as he sees fit. The beauty of this Is that it keeps hot lines hot.
