That would be interesting, I think, just as a matter of information for the Members of the Senate, as to where you have made some recommendations and what has happened to them.

I really believe that had it not been for the waivers that we had gotten from the Clinton Administration, we would never have got that legislation passed.

I think that it is really important that you convey to the American people what you have done in this area.

we do not have time here to do the oversight because we are so busy with the budget and appropriations.

I think it is really important because if you do not have standards to judge what you are doing, you discredit the whole thing and people start attacking the standards and say it is not fair and so on and so forth.

If you think about this, what would your opinion be, and I do not even know in terms of the BRAC process how it works.

if you cannot measure it, do not do it.

Senator Connie Mack came to me with an idea similar to this say 6 or 7 years ago, I did not think we were ready.

I have been trying to get the folks over here to do the oversight in the Appropriations Committee. And I do not think they do it.

I have talked to Ted Stevens about it, and he thinks it is a good idea.

I agree with you. I have said to folks if we do not deal with this deficit and we do not deal with this looming crisis that is coming, there will not be anything for anybody.

Have any committees, appropriations or authorizations committee, reduced or eliminated the funding for any programs that you have identified as not effective.
