Lockheed Martin welcomes the Administration’s continued efforts to strengthen the defense industrial base, spur innovation, and bolster U.S. competitiveness. We are already pursuing several initiatives that align with both the National Defense Strategy and this report, specifically supporting workforce development initiatives and partnering with the Department of Defense to develop next generation technologies to address future threats. We look forward to working with the Administration to implement these recommendations and ensure our men and women in uniform continue to have the best defense capability their nation can provide.

- Marillyn Hewson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Lockheed Martin
