RE: [CPEO-MEF] ECOS Opposes Section 8149

[john.hopping@langley.af.mil]

ECOS should be more careful in their analysis of congressional language and
not taint their efforts with generalities.  Terms such as "extremely
judicious", "worst violators", "must live by the same standards", and
"exempting military from enforcement", are all dubious phrases in my
opinion, and only serve to worsen relations.  Military installations are
still subject to fines and penalties as before and most fines go to the
states.  Military installations are not exempt as stated by ECOS.  8149
changes the rules but not the end result.  8149 says that congress has to
approve the funds to pay the fines.  This is my opinion and does not
represent the views of anyone else.
