has resulted in one of the most

 ,the ,united ,states has not faced a   
more diverse and complex array of crises
 and threats1 including the emergence of
 competitors like ,russia and ,china1   
increasingly unstable threats from

,congress makes the following findings3 
7#a7 ,the ,united ,states small turbine 
engine industry has been innovating1    
developing1 producing1 and sustaining   
small gas turbine engines in a          
competitive market for more than #ge    
years4  7#b7 ,the ,united ,states small 
turbine engine industrial base has made 
the ,united ,states the knowledge leader
 in low cost1 no maintenance engine     
designs with unmatched field            
reliability4  7#c7 ,the ,united ,states 

small turbine engine industrial base is 
at a critical juncture1 as military     
requirements have tapered and missile   
programs1 in misguided attempts to save 
money1 are narrowing production         
contracts to a single vendor causing two
 of the three existing small turbine    
engine manufacturers to go out of       
business4  7#d7 ,the departure of these 
companies from the ,united ,states small
 turbine engine industry will leave only
 one viable1 proven source for small    
turbine engines for the ,department of  
,defense4  7#e7 ,in #bjaf1 a number of  
engine failures were encountered that   
severely diminished the throughput of   
the ,f#ajg-,,wr-#aja engine maintenance 
process for the ,,agm-#hf ,air ,launched
 ,cruise ,missile 7,,alcm71 thereby     
putting the weapon system at major      
readiness risk4  7#f7 ,the narrowing of 
the ,united ,states small turbine engine
 industrial base would leave the        
,department with a sole source ,united  
,states supplier resulting in a loss of 

manufacturing and testing capability    
that would be extremely detrimental to  
both the ,united ,states industrial base
 and national security by creating a    
single point of failure1 increasing     
engine procurement and testing prices by
 eliminating competition1 raising new   
engine development and air vehicle      
program risk1 and eliminating           
capabilities and expertise that would   
require decades and millions of dollars 
to reconstitute4  7b7 ,sense of         
,congress ,it is the sense of the       
,congress that the ,department of       
,defense should-- 7#a7 allocate         
sufficient funding to properly sustain  
the ,f#ajg turbine engine in order to   
ensure this vital weapon is viable until
 a replacement is fielded2 and  7#b7
