Susan Collins actually said...

"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."

"Seldom has a nominee for the position of Administrator for the Office of Federal Procurement Policy come before this Committee at a more critical time."

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

"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."
