"I am seeking from you today a very clear statement that you will oppose any such efforts to require Federal agencies to collect political contribution information from government contractors."

"And, it is an area where there has been failure after failure after failure."

"I am determined to do everything I can to protect the integrity of the Federal procurement system."

"I was so alarmed last year to see a draft Executive Order from this Administration that actually proposed to inject politics into the procurement system."
