On the recordOctober 31, 2001

That was under indictment, in fact pled guilty in Philadelphia. So if that company or any other company could qualify under the conditions that we set down, sure. But I have got a feeling, as far as I am concerned, that the standards would prohibit that. The Young bill, that would not prohibit firms who are criminally convicted of violating existing guidelines from continuing to provide private security. The parent company in Britain has just been found to have committed very, very serious breaches of security in Heathrow Airport. So you have a foreign-owned firm which is on both sides of the ocean failing, and your bill would not prohibit that firm from bidding.
