We competed with Boeing and Lockheed to get that contract, and we won the bid. Well, at the time we had about 400 temporary employees working on this base. And when that job came in, we hired about 300 of them as permanent workers. But we contracted out with a private company to do some of the work on the C-5. Sometimes it's people who have worked with you for 10 or 15 years who are left out in the cold.

They think that private industry can perform functions without all of the bureaucratic red tape in government. And I agree that there is too much red tape. But private industry, even without their red tape, still does not do the job as cheaply as the federal employees. They know that here, that the contractors are costing them more money. For instance, they brought in some contract people to work on the C-141s.
