“I want my friend from Maryland to know I stand in opposition, but reluctant opposition, because I too see a lot of imperfections with the A-76 study approach. I see a lot of families getting booted in midlife, mid-career, and often the subcontractors come back and rebill their costs. So I see a lot of imperfections with it. But I do think one of the problems with TRAC and the reason I have not cosponsored it is because, as the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Tom Davis) says, you have engineering, a lot of subcontracting, and routine maintenance and security issues which the Federal Government under this legislation would not be able to farm out, and those are things the Federal Government needs to do. I want to wait for the study, but I wanted my friend from Maryland to know I want to work with him in the future, but it is important to wait for the study.”
