Energy Secretary Abraham apparently is much too busy playing the ponies, sunning himself by the pool, and watching Nick At Nite to concern himself too deeply in the supervision of merely guarding America's nuclear research secrets.
Just WHO is responsible for assigning this twit to this project?? A Clinton leftover by chance?
Abraham also said that the latest security failure "reinforced the government’s decision to consider new lab contractors." Earlier this year, the department announced its intention to open the Los Alamos contract to bidders. The University of California has held the contract, said to be worth two billion dollars, since the lab’s founding in 1942.
While Bill Richardson may have been tuned into Nick at Nite, Abraham has been doing something about problem. He made the announcement that the contract would be opened for competing bids last April. UC's contract runs thru September 2005.
