At specific issue were the conclusions of the TASC study which said that closing the B-2 line would have little consequence for the Nation's future ability to produce a stealthy long-range bomber.
Eric Schwarz from Citizen Schools, Lucy Friedman from TASC, Dan Cardinali from Communities In Schools, and Lester Strong from Experience Corps discussed the way that national and community service brings much needed talent and leadership to schools, while boosting academic achievement.
In short, the arguments put forward in the TASC study contending that the B-2 line can be closed without significant adverse impact on the Nation's future ability to produce bombers do not stand up to rigorous scrutiny in a world in which the United States must maintain a large and flexible bomber force and do so within severe budgetary constraints.
