I'd like to elaborate on what David said. I believe Paul touched on this subject as well.
In your testimony you mentioned optional inward inspections and pointed out that this might not be consistent with one of the other recommendations. I have some concerns about the recommendation that optional inspections be contracted out. Perhaps a little money would be saved in the process, but I'm concerned that product quality and safety would be compromised. Producers and consumers could be affected as well. I foresee a number of risks.
Do you share these concerns and is the apparent contradiction the element you find the most troublesome in the recommendations? Are my concerns justified? Is this something that you considered?
