On the recordNovember 6, 1997
Not initially. The Department provided the conferees with two rounds of written comments on the draft compromise language. In neither version did the Department suggest that "promote" be changed to "ensure." It was only on the day that the conference report was finalized that the Department indicated that the use of the word "ensure" might be interpreted in such a way as to require all logistics workloads to be performed at public depots. We informed the Department that the requirement to ensure efficiency does not mean that all logistics workloads must be performed at public depots, and added language to the statement of managers to reaffirm that point.
