Regarding "Official urges less reliance on contractors": Mr. Levine has hit the nail on the head. A contractor's job is to make money for his company. A civil servant's job is to serve the taxpayer!

Regarding "DOD reassures users about privacy": Anyone who uses a government computer and thinks they have a shred of privacy is foolish. There's no way to provide that privacy as network traffic and records repositories can be viewed at many levels by many people. Always create e-mails as if a stranger is standing over your shoulder.

How will this legislation broaden their access to this schedule?
