Ah well, I can understand why there is a call for more testing.

Prepared Statement
Hon. Philip E. Coyle, III
Senior Advisor World Security Institute
Before the House Committee on Armed Services
Wednesday, June 6, 2007
At the end...The best way to resolve this matter would be for the US Army Test and Evaluation Command to conduct comparable side-by-side tests of both Interceptor and Dragon Skin body armor. Those tests should be overseen by an independent third party such as the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation. This is what the Senate Armed Services Committee has called for, and I hope the House Armed Services will join the Senate to call for a fair, balanced, and refereed body armor testing program.

Don't get me wrong. I want our guys to have the best stuff that can be had no matter where it comes from. I want the military procurement process to be completely dedicated to finding the best possible equipment for our guys no matter what the cost.

I want that process to be untainted by any favoritism, nepotism, cronyism, or corruption.

And I want all the children of the world to join hands and sing in perfect harmony....
