“You and I have both operated in local and State government and we've worked on this. If you really think that you should place that kind of condition on one technology that is a proven technology that even the military originally did not think was going to be cost effective and which now admits that they were wrong to underestimate the cost effectiveness of, the fact is, why apply it to this technology and not apply that condition to every other application along here?
