On the recordJuly 17, 1996
I bring to the chairman's attention a remarkable product called MILITEC-1, which is manufactured by a small Virginia company. The product is a synthetic metal conditioner that makes machines run better, and makes weapons more reliable. This permits smoother running machines that consume less power, are more reliable, and require less maintenance and parts replacement. MILITEC-1 can help our military forces save money and human resources on repairs, while at the same time have equipment that runs better. Tests and extensive experience by both government and commercial users have proven MILITEC-1's effectiveness. The Department of Defense has issued national stock numbers to facilitate purchase of the product by all Federal Government activities, including military units, as well as by state and local law enforcement agencies. In fact, several Federal law enforcement agencies direct the use of MILITEC-1. Indeed, in a recent issue of the Washington Post, a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service was quoted as saying, "Our 2,000 agents and 1,200 officers are issued a small bottle of the stuff with their guns. We've found that it repels water extremely well and keeps weapons operating smoothly.
