The U.S. Defense Department needs to sign long-term deals with manufacturers of the missiles and bombs heavily needed by U.S. forces and allies, the Pentagon’s top weapons buyer said Wednesday.

Multiyear contracts could persuade weapons makers to improve and expand their factories, said Bill LaPlante, defense undersecretary for acquisition and sustainment.

“What really matters is contracts,” LaPlante said at a conference sponsored by Defense News. “We buy munitions and many of these things in a single year.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
