On the recordJuly 10, 1997
It would be unrelated to the issue we have before us of the defense industry, but it does tell me that the figure that the committee feels will somehow be a cap for this year--and we want to remember that it is suggested that this cap is going to go up from year to year--that it is not going to be a very effective way of controlling money leaving the Defense Department to the executives, as the committee has intended. I think they are going to find this just as ineffective as the cap that has been in the law, as I have demonstrated in a previous chart that I have.
