Tom Latham: “The rationale for the point of order is projects can be broad in…”

On the recordJune 9, 2014

The rationale for the point of order is projects can be broad in scope, both in terms of the purpose of the project and the number and types of contractors involved. For an agency to determine whether a specific bonus can be awarded, this amendment would require the agency to also determine whether the project as a whole is over budget or behind schedule, not simply the part of the project pertaining to the agency awarding the bonus. So I, again, would insist on my point of order. The Acting CHAIR. Does any other Member wish to be heard on the point of order?
