Dem Sen. Reed Tells Sec. Lutnick ‘You’re Wasting Your Time’ Manually Reviewing $100,000+ Contracts at Commerce

EXCERPT:

REED: “And it's been reported in the press that you are insisting on personally reviewing every commerce contract over $100,000? Is that --”
LUTNICK: “That is true.”
REED: “Well, that seems to be something that is not particularly efficient, and that results in the 5,700 contracts just in NOAA. So, again, if you can't find reliable support to do those reviews, I think you're wasting your time, frankly.”
