           SUBJECT  :    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution urges the Congress of the United 
          States to recognize the importance of the F-35 aircraft and 
          to support the full funding of the F-35 Joint Strike 
          Fighter Program.

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following 
          legislative findings: 

          1. The United States Congress is currently reviewing the 
             full funding of the F-35 Joint Striker Program; and, the 
             United States has been investing in the production of 
             the F-35 for more than a decade and will lose the 
             benefits of this investment if full funding and planned 
             production are not continued. 

          2. The F-35 generates more than 27,000 direct and indirect 
             high technology, high paying jobs for California; and, 
             the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program provides a 
             sustained economic impact to California of over $6 
                                                           CONTINUED

             billion. 

          3. The F-35 will provide needed support for our nation's 
             military, will strengthen our international alliances, 
             and ensure the success of our peacekeeping missions; 
             and, our investment in the technological superiority of 
             our military will honor Californians and United States 
             citizens who have served our nation to protect freedom 
             through military service.
