I believe all this has to do with the way the government does business with new contractors in light of the patriot act.They all probably have to go thru several layers of audit and since it will deal with our audit committee that is why they made the announcement.They use Barconi to help expidite all the processes. Think about it. A company devises a way for all goverment agencies to share information. Aren't they going to be fully investigated for any terrorist activities. The investigations today are probably much more stringent than pre- 911. SGE would probably know more about this than anyone else.
