They weren’t working for EDS, I hope? Ross Perot attempted to hire ex-military into Iran to break his employees out of jail...

There’s a book about it called “On Wings of Eagles” by Ken Follet.

Man, I turned down a job doing data conversions at EDS in 2000. Sometimes I regret not have taken it. But I’m not the type to move for a job, especially to Dallas.

Many don't even deserve $1.00.

GOP revives rule allowing $1 salaries for government employees https://t.co/o8JfPBswe8— Lisa Mei Crowley (@LisaMei62) March 26, 2018

The rule passed this week in larger rules package, any such amendment that would target an employee or program would have to be passed by a majority of the House and Senate. That makes it unlikely, albeit possible, for lawmakers to reduce a federal worker’s pay.

Democrats and federal employees who worry about how President-elect Donald Trump could use it blasted the rule.

“This is part of a very chilling theme that federal workers are seeing right now,” Maureen Gilman, the legislative director for the National Treasury Employees Union, told the Post.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters this week that the Holman Rule gives Congress a chance to change how government works, something voters asked for when they voted for Trump.

“This is a big rule change inside there that allows people to get at places they hadn’t before,” he told reporters.

The new rule follows requests by the Trump transition team for lists of the names of employees involved in specific programs, such as Energy Department scientists who have worked on climate change.
