                DYNCORP CONTRACT TO TRAIN POLICE IN IRAQ

  (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, liberals who gave us Big Government should 
love the DynCorp contract to train police in Iraq. Almost all Federal 
contracts are sweetheart deals that hire former high-level Federal 
employees or retired military officers, but this police training 
contract just about takes the cake.
  NBC News reported the night before last that we have already spent 
$30 million on this deal and will in short order be spending $800 
million more. We will be spending, according to NBC, $400,000 per 
trainer, counting salaries, benefits and expenses. No policeman in this 
country makes anywhere near this much.
  DynCorp was so embarrassed they refused to comment because they knew 
there was no way they could justify the obscene profits and ripoff of 
the U.S. taxpayers in this sweetheart deal, $850 million, $400,000 per 
trainer. DynCorp should be ashamed, but I suppose they are laughing all 
the way to the bank.
