So Andy, Do you anticipate a few large rounds of vehicle awards or will they continue out for the next few months?

Jim,

I don't know why the AFG isn't awarding vehicles in significant numbers; they should be. The unfortunate thing is, IMHO, the AFG will not fully expend all of the funds just like in 2008 at the expense of vehicle awards.

In order to help out administratively, I am volunteering my department - they can rescind my tanker DJ and give us the funds.

I know, I know - it is really selfless of me, but I do try.

That's two of us. (I got dibbs earlier)

Which begs the question (and as FG folks visit this forum they should answer) where did/are the $ going. As I recall program has been limited to 5% (under President Bush) for admin. expenses (which is extraordinarily efficient for a fed program). Perhaps Barry has other/better use for the funds?
