CBO has said that if we give this airspace control to a 13-member
private board, it will cause a $100 billion deficit addition--$100
billion. The Congressional Review Service has said that if we do that,
that automatically allows sequester to take place. We don't need that. We are trying to get out of that now. Our wonderful men and women in
uniform are having a hard enough time meeting quotas, meeting
equipment, meeting training, everything, because of the sequester. This would hurt military retirement funding. This would hurt our
Border Patrol, men and women there protecting us from terrorist
activity on a daily basis. Mr. Speaker, we need modernization, but we don't need privatization.
