On the recordOctober 23, 2003
the Senate has just adopted an amendment which approves congressional oversight of public-private. It is a good thing for us to do. We urge the Senate to oppose the Mikulski amendment because it attempts to amend the problem by going back to the old A-76 process that we all agree was broken. I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment that is before us.
