We the undersigned organizations, dedicated to protecting taxpayer interests, write to thank you for your commitment to reining in government waste and inefficiency and for your commitment to strengthening America’s military. We believe these are complementary goals.

As you know, a strong military requires strong leadership from the White House. It also requires an understanding that we must eliminate wasteful and antiquated programs and practices at the Pentagon if we hope to field the military of tomorrow. With these shared goals and understandings in mind, we submit for your consideration a list of opportunities for reducing wasteful and inefficient Pentagon spending. This is not a comprehensive list of potential cuts, rather, it is a list of key opportunities to address wasteful spending practices, which if seized can save taxpayers billions of dollars and help empower America with the strongest and most efficient military of our time.
