I can't post this whole thing because of that fair use stuff on the front page, but here's a little thing I got from Lexis:

Congress' plan to alter contract rule criticized
BYLINE: John Purnell; THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Dozens of private companies doing more than $4 billion worth of business with the Defense Department could lose their contracts under a proposal pending in Congress, contract proponents say.
The measure, contained in the $288.2 billion military spending bill for 1990, "would seriously degrade the capability to contract out and save taxpayer money," Rep. John R. Kasich, Ohio Republican, said through spokesman Mike Lofgren.
Emphasis emphatically added.
Gee, it is painful to think this turncoat, Lofgren, worked for Kasich.
