Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns about proposals regarding demilitarized equipment. I appreciate hearing from you.
As you know, Section 361 of the House version of the fiscal year 2001 Defense Authorization bill contained language that many found controversial. While the purpose of the section was to clarify policy regarding demilitarization of surplus equipment, some believed that it would affect equipment already sold to civilians.
You will be pleased to know that section 361 is not contained in the final version of the bill I supported and was signed into law on October 30, 2000.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again about any issue important to you.
Sincerely,
Heather Wilson
