if the gentlewoman will yield, let me assure the gentlewoman that this sunset should not have a negative impact on the local hiring preference authorized by her amendment. A sunset is a useful tool to ensure Congress has the opportunity to conduct the necessary oversight--and make any appropriate changes in the legislation--and to ensure that the provision is properly implemented by the Defense Department. For that reason, sunsets have been very effective in a number of programs such as the DOD minority contracting goal program or the Small Business Innovation Research program.
