DUFFY: "The Congress was very specific on how we spend the money. They gave me money for tower for, for, radios, money for radar, money for systems but I don’t have any money in that 11 point five billion for a new architecture for telecom I don’t have any money given by Congress to build a new software system to manage the airspace They were very specific on how we spend the 11 point five and None of the money goes to this telecom that I have to build so they need to give me additional money to finish that project. By the way the 11 point five billion will all be spent and deployed by the end of 2028. We’re building at an amazing speed that’s happening safely but, 11 point five billion by is not nearly enough to fix fix a system that has been neglected for decades"
