He said the modernization program is "fundamental for public safety," and is higher need than programs whose subsidizing should be reduced to oblige the increasing expenses with "no other options" that would match the Sentinel program's capacities for a lower cost.
LaPlante credited the incorrectness of the first quote to deficient information on a piece of the program. Bad habit Head of Staff of the Aviation based armed forces Gen. Jim Slife included Monday that choices of what financing compromises the Flying corps should make to subsidize Sentinel won't should be chosen for an additional couple of years.
After what LaPlante called a "exhaustive, fair-minded survey" of the program, he decided plainly a changed rendition of the program "stays fundamental for US public safety."
