Lamar Alexander actually said...

"a United States Senator cannot, and I don't think should, try to manage anything of that complexity."

"I want to pick up on what Senator Feinstein said about cost overruns in big projects."

"So that might be early next year that you could say to Senator Feinstein and me and what the schedule is and what the cost objective is?"

"I want to make sure that all of the effort that surrounds a competition of such a major effort does not interfere with whatever we agree upon should be the timeline and the cost."
