The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10 a.m., in room 2220, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Mary Rose Oakar (chair of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Chair Oakar, Representative Neal of Massachusetts. Today's hearing is a continuation of a journey which this subcommittee launched on July 8, 1987. It was at that time we began an in-depth examination of the problems of the U.S. defense industrial base, something that we feel strongly about in this committee and which we are charged to have responsibility for. Since then the subcommittee has conducted 15 hearings and heard from 48 witnesses representing Government, labor, industry, and public interest groups. The testimony identified these key problem areas: One, an eroding defense industrial base; Two, a growing dependency on foreign suppliers for vital parts and components to our weapons system; Three, the outflow of sensitive technologies; and, Four, the potential loss of critical job skills, in short, an increasing vulnerability to our national security. Last year after carefully analyzing the dangers, we tried to write a straightforward bill-H.R. 4037-to remedy those problems, and it was received with wide support from industry and labor. The administration, while conceding initially the validity of the industrial base problems, took a negative view and proposed no alternative legislative solutions. Believe me, there is nothing partisan in that statement. Administration after administration over more than the past 20 years has put this dilemma on the back burner. Well, we are moving it to the front burner where it belongs. This year the bill is H.R. 486 and will be tied in with the reauthorization of the Defense Production Act, which will expire September 30 unless re-extended. It consists of two titles, Amendments to title I are essentially the same as H.R. 4037 of last year. Title II focuses on a new area on economic adjustment to assist industries, workers and communities in helping to overcome the adverse ef |
