Memorandum: Annual Weapons List [i] (May 1990)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo9661 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE Robert D. ReIschauer U.S CONGRESS Director WASHINGTON, D.C. 20515 May 25, 1990 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD FROM: Raymond Hall SUBJECT: Annual Weapons List Attached is the current version of Selected Weapons Costs from the President's 1991 Program. The primary sources for the budget authority and quantities were the Congressional Data Sheets (CDS) and the Selected Acquisition Reports (SARs) submitted to Congress in April 1990. CBO outlay rates were used to estimate the outlays. The attached list is organized by service, with Army weapons data starting on page A-1, Navy and Marine Corps data starting on page N-1, and Air Force data starting on page F1. Joint service or DoD programs are included at the end, starting on page J-1. For those systems where an** was used, the data were either classified or to-be-determined according to DoD. For the most part, DoD adjusted last year's estimates only for inflation and consistency with the 1991 budget request. Therefore, the dollar amounts reflected for 1992 through 1995 may not be consistent with the Administration's targeted budget levels for those years. DoD reports that programmatic changes are currently under review, as directed by Secretary of Defense Cheney in November 1989. In all likelihood, several programs will realize significant budget authority and outlay reductions. On April 26, 1990 Secretary Cheney announced the results of a review of four major aircraft programs: the B-2 bomber, C-17 transport, A-12/Advanced Tactical Aircraft (ATA), and Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF/NATF). While none were recommended for cancellation, all four programs would realize production stretchouts with total forces for three of them reduced. Other reviews are underway for the Army's LHX helicopter, the Navy's DDG-51 destroyer, and the Strategic Defense Initiative. In addition, the Washington Post recently reported that the Service secretaries submitted spending documents for the 1990s to Secretary Cheney which plan to reduce budget authority and outlays for several weapons systems, including the Navy's Trident ballistic missile submarine, the Navy's new attack submarine, the Air Force's MX-rail garrison and Midgetman intercontinental ballistic rmissiles, and the Air Force's advanced cruise missile. Those programs for which a change is anticipated have been noted herein, although no estimate of the revised budget authority and outlays is provided.
