CHARLES A. GONZALEZ: “That is a common claim, but it is made without a shred of evidence.”

Many of the most vocal complaints about the first decade of this century centered around the practice of granting billions of dollars in no-bid contracts, especially during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I don't see that this Congress or any previous Congress has ever been paralyzed by changing technology.

This country is about inclusion, not exclusion.

I hope that there will be a bipartisan bill introduced, obviously, in the Senate in June that will overhaul wartime contracting practices, and that we in the House will act accordingly and support our Senate colleagues.
