DoD Touts Updated Ada

During the past two months, DoD officials and Ada proponents have been speaking out publically about the benefits of Ada. Below are a few quotes from a Federal Computer Week article (see source below):

"The need for Ada is as essential today [as it was then] for all our software-driven systems,"

          The Honorable Emmett Paige, Jr., Assistant Secretary of
          Defense for Command Control Communications and
          Intelligence (C3I) in keynote address at the DoD Software
          Technology Conference.

"Ada Gives us one last opportunity... We are really going to make the push...to let the commercial world know the benefits of Ada."

          Lloyd Mosemann, Air Force Deputy Assistant Secretary for
          Communications, Computers and Logistics in address at the
          DoD Software Technology Conference.
