It was not as if someone could have set fire to our proposal and we would not have access to the records for any legal action, if we decided to go that way." (Post)<br /><br /><br />I wish they had decided to "go that way". Maybe LANS (Bechtel) could have then been stopped from their process of destroying the lab. <br /><br />A Lockmart win would have allowed LANL to form a much tighter relationship with SNL. The short geographical distance between these two labs would have opened up possibilities for integration of various services and the cost savings resulting from this could have been enormous. In addition to this, Paul Robinson would have made an outstanding Director for LANL. I doubt he would have conceded to every crazy whim that comes out of NNSA. <br /><br />The NNSA competition was not a fair and open process and the final decision was left up to single person at NNSA... Tom D'Agostino. That, in itself, should have raised loud alarms with those who are tasks with monitoring ethics violations within the federal government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-40603542792823223512009-10-08T20:32:13.997-06:002009-10-08T20:32:13.997-06:00As usual, if you want the "real story", ...As usual, if you want the "real story", come to the LANL blog. <br /><br />Thanks for digging up the facts, Doug!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-41917289774190172092009-10-08T20:28:19.536-06:002009-10-08T20:28:19.536-06:00I feel your pain, 8:17.I feel your pain, 8:17.Doug Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09584327679578206598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-55518694902056439052009-10-08T20:17:45.022-06:002009-10-08T20:17:45.022-06:00Come on, can't you just let us enjoy our littl...Come on, can't you just let us enjoy our little conspiracy theories?
