On the recordSeptember 25, 2001
if a military base is deciding whether or not to contract out car washing at that military base, this amendment says before they can make that decision to take those jobs away from public employees, they must give those public employees a fair chance to compete for and win the contract. Mr. Speaker, the record shows that privatization is often a failure. It means lower quality at a higher price. It means taking jobs away from people with benefits and giving them to people without benefits for private profit. But this motion is not anti-privatization. It is pro-competition and it is pro-taxpayer and it is pro-Department of Defense. Mr. Speaker, I would urge a vote in favor of the motion to recommit.
