Political Quotes

“I rise to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of an exceptional U.S. Army entity at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, the prototype integration facility, also known as the PIF. I would be remiss if I didn't mention this facility is named after Dr. Larry O. Daniel, the beloved late grandfather of one of my district staffers. Operating out of the DEVCOM Aviation and Missile Center, the PIF has been the Army's premier provider of rapid prototyping and integrated hardware for aviation and missile programs since opening its doors in June 2002. The PIF personifies fast and efficient contracting, benefiting from its unique government-owned, government-operated, and contractor-supported model. I encourage the Army to keep this effort going and to apply this same contracting concept more broadly. Lastly, I thank the PIF team and wish them a happy anniversary.”
