On the recordJuly 21, 2004
I agree with OMB, I agree with the President, and I agree with our subcommittee on this issue of caps. I cannot understand how CBO scores it as it does. Let me mention briefly the impact in Virginia. An additional 39 units are planned for privatization in fiscal year 2006 and 2007. This includes 22 projects in 16 different States. In Virginia at Langley Air Force Base, we are talking about 1,400 units. I can tell you the quality of life of those at Langley would be significantly enhanced if this could go forward. I believe the best thing to do is vote for this bill, send it forward. This is just part of the process through which Military Construction will go before it is finally adopted by both the House and the Senate and signed by the President. So I would urge a 'yes' vote, go forward with the process, and I think positive things will happen throughout that process.
