I support the amendment. I also share my friend the ranking member's concerns. I think the amendment addresses them in two ways. One is that the language of the amendment is quite flexible, that as long as there is transparency and adherence to high quality, the department is not restricted from these relationships. It simply has to be more careful about them. And secondly, obviously the committee has continuing oversight over this issue. The gentleman has my assurances that if we see an undue restriction on access to talent, then we are in a position to take appropriate action to correct that problem.
