Speaking Friday on the steps of the Connecticut State Capitol in Hartford, Blumenthal said there was precedent for Congress using its purse strings to influence the Department of Defense during prior administrations to reconsider major decisions on strategic or tactical weapons programs. While Blumenthal said there is a need for "robust" defense spending in the current age, he suggested that spending needs to go to systems that provide the best bang for the buck.
"We have an oversight responsibility," said Blumenthal. "We go through the defense budget literally line by line. The National Defense Authorization Act is approved by Congress only after a really exacting process. And make no mistake — defense budgets are going to have to be subject to even higher level of scrutiny."
