Q:
The Pentagon, I think still has $4 billion of authority...
MS. SINGH:
That's right.
Q: ... to draw down but you don't have any replacement money.
So why can't an eight-hundred billion-dollar institution just risk drawing down $4 billion of inventory on the assumption at some point you're going to get it from Congress? Is that being discussed at all in the building?
MS. SINGH: Well you sort of answered how I would answer the question because it's a risk. It's an absolute risk for us to incur. We don't have the replenishment funds needed to resupply our own stocks. So if we can't do that, then we're not able or
we don't feel comfortable enough to draw down or to give another PDA until we have those replenishment funds. So again it's something that you've seen not just from here, from this podium but across the interagency, continuing this urging of Congress to pass the supplemental.
Q: (inaudible)?
MS. SINGH: Sure.
Q: You manage risk here, but we’re talking like one-five-five shells, and a lot of weapons that wouldn't be used in a fight against China. Has there been discussion that why don't we just put out $4 billion of PDAs on the assumption we're -- we're going to get funding eventually if not soon?
Q: Well again, we can say that we're going to get funding eventually but we've been ringing the alarm bell since October. And so we're already into February, the two-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is coming up at the end of the week. We don't know when we're going to get the funding. And we're going to continue -- the discussions that we are having right now at the Secretary's level ,across the interagency, as we need Congress to give us a supplemental. That's what's being discussed.
Краткий перевод:
- Пертагон ещё не потратил 4 млрд из уже выделенного...
- Да, верно
- ... но не имеет новых денег взамен. Почему тогда учреждение с 800 миллиардами долларов не тратит 4 млрд со склада в расчёте на получение этих денег от Конгресса в будущем? Это вообще обсуждается
- Это риск, потому что, не имея перспективы пополнения средств, мы чувствуем себя недостаточно комфортно.
