Senate panel calls service chiefs to testify on F-35
The inclusion of the senior service leaders for the F-35 Joint
Strike Fighter hearing will give it some added attention as one of the final
budget hearings of the year.
{mosads}The Senate Appropriations panel is the last of the four defense
committees to put together its annual defense bill. In the first three, the F-35

budget and behind schedule.
