 Top Air Force Officer: Budget From Congress More Important Than Dollar Amount
Posted By Natalie Johnson On April 13, 2017 @ 5:00 am In National Security | No Comments

The U.S. Air Force's top officer said Wednesday that a regular budget is more important to rebuilding the service than specific funding levels, stressing the importance of Congress meeting its deadline to fully fund the military by the end of the month.

"The most important thing that we can get from Congress is a budget," Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein said during an event at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. "We have got to get back in the position of allowing a service chief the ability to plan and produce for the nation the best Air Force I can produce with the resources I'm given."
