First American Scientific Corp. (fka FASC)

[Jagman]

TRCPA, drug companies, peanut farmers, tobacco farmers, etc., etc., all get government money at one time or other, it's been the American way forever. FASC isn't an American company and should get their handouts at home. Besides, the money should go to those that can best handle the project of that scale, I think the GE engineering department is a bit better than the FASC (or others) engineering department. I doubt all of GE's expenses will be covered by the grant, but they do get the initial benefit of the results I imagine. Small companies do participate in the DOE programs as they do in the Hydro Quebec programs. We live in a capitalistic society, money speaks and we have a pretty high standard of living as a result.
