Chuck Grassley: “Boxer doesn't get the Government out of the loop completely. It would leave bureaucrats with authority to manipulate…”

On the recordJune 19, 1996
Boxer doesn't get the Government out of the loop completely. It would leave bureaucrats with authority to manipulate just a small piece of the compensation pie. The bulk of executive compensation would be decided by industry in the marketplace where it belongs. In time, I hope to see a complete end to this practice. It would cease to be an allowable expense under defense contracts.
