The study due by March 1996 will identify government controlled core work needed to sustain readiness for two simultaneous regional conflicts. Rep Glenn Browder says this pits interests over maintenance dollars but aims to control essential activities for national defense. Cherry Point NADEP workers warn that ending the 60/40 law could spike private contracts. Capitol Hill observers see the compromise as the best possible amid budget cuts.

Supreme Court narrows federal affirmative action programs
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court held that federal programs aiding minority businesses must meet the same strict standards as state programs. The Colorado case sent back to a federal appeals court to assess if such federal aid unlawfully discriminates against whites, potentially affecting over 10 billion dollars in annual minority-owned contracting.
