Howell Heflin said "First let me compliment the Senator on the excellent work the committee has done this year. This is an outstanding bill. I would also like to thank staff for their hard work and dedication. As you know, I have a keen interest in the Army's electronic maintenance programs. I would, therefore, appreciate a clarification of the guidance provided in the committee report dealing with the purchase of electro optic test equipment. The report directs the Army not to procure any sole-source off-vehicle E-O test equipment until the results of a study have been provided to the defense committees of Congress. My question is, Does this guidance restrict the procurement of variants of the Electro Optic Augmentation System, an on-vehicle tester?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
