Excellent. And congratulations, particularly if you are able to get people to understand who you are and they are coming in below what you thought the job may cost.
Are you saying because they pay to lease buildings they get to decide security in Federal buildings rather than GSA and the FPS?
I recognize the position, particularly that the Corps is put in, in dealing with their own munitions very deeply buried.
I cannot say to you that I have been convinced yet, we have some time to go, that an independent evaluation will not be necessary.
I want to express my appreciation for the Corps and the Army for remaining to hear you out.
I don't mind the Corps, the District Department of the Environment, in fact, I think there is some good to be said for the technical support and I appreciate that, and EPA all being in bed together.
Neither Congress nor the community has seen the Corps' 2 year exit plan or any evidence that the area has been cleaned.
However, Mr. Chairman, the Corps neither informed this committee, despite our oversight over the years, or me, the city's only elected congressional official.
