President Dick McDonald, T-3 Global Strategies (Bridgeville, Pa.) will join
U.S. Representatives Bill Huizenga (R-MI), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), James
Sensenbrenner (R-WI), Walter Jones (R-NC), and Don Manzullo (R-IL) at a news
conference tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 16 at 2:30 p.m. to announce House
legislation that will permit manufacturers and service providers to compete on
equal footing for contracts with the federal government by reforming Federal
Prison Industries (FPI).
Currently co-sponsored by 12 bipartisan members of the U.S. House and supported by 10 business organizations, H.R. 3634 provides greater competition in federal contracting by permitting private sector firms, including small business, more opportunities by reducing the unfair advantages of Federal Prison Industries. Additionally, H.R. 3634 would prohibit FPI and its inmate workers from having access to a variety of geospatial information, about individual citizens' property or critical infrastructure location.
