Philip Coyle Quotations

It doesn't appear to us the savings are real.

The government has done integration quite well in some instances. Private industry has said to the government, 'We can do it better and cheaper.' I think it's debatable as to whether that's really turned out to be the case.

Norco was a prime example. Thanks to the hard work of our staff, I think we have a good understanding of what's correct and what's not. We cannot always rely on the DOD figures.

This is an example where we do not have excess capacity.

If Portsmouth were to be closed, the U.S. would be left with only 8 percent excess capacity,

Their greatest concern is that the Air Force not pull the plug on them, that they be given enough time to work with state and federal officials to mitigate the impact of this closure,

They are real people who have real jobs, and who are concerned about the process,

We don't want a repeat of those failures that were embarrassing to them.
