The transcript suggests that the growth will be in "the newest things."

Now to the force that we want. First thing, the president -- [the President of the United States], one of the things he was very insistent on the whole way is, he said just -- "You're in a budget stringency, make sure that you protect, and go out of your way to protect the newest things, because they have the shallowest roots. And they're the easiest thing to pull out bureaucratically, and I don't want you to do that." So he made sure that we didn't eat our seed corn in a budget reduction. And so that meant continuing to invest, and in fact we are growing the special operations forces, actually growing them.

We are increasing our funding for cyber, even in this environment. Same for electronic warfare, and electronic protection, very important field. New capabilities to counter weapons of mass destruction, space. All of these areas that are so important for the future. Our science and technology base, and of course new capabilities, novel capabilities that we haven't revealed yet. All of those things, keep those investments going despite the cut. Very important principle.
