Today’s meeting was the first contact with the Army following Monday’s ruling by the GAO that the Army’s process for reviewing bids to build the FMTV was flawed and that the bids should be re-evaluated.

"The Army told me they will follow the GAO’s recommendations and they will take as much time as necessary to make the right decision. I look forward to discussing this further with Under Secretary Carter and Secretary McHugh."

AUSTIN – Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX 10) addressed the Sealy FMTV Task Force Tuesday to briefly discuss the GAO’s ruling and what steps will be taken moving forward. Rep. McCaul, who is in Washington for votes, spoke to the task force in Sealy by phone. The following are excerpts from his remarks:

"I want to congratulate everyone on their hard work. The GAO’s report confirmed that the Army’s decision was flawed, as we have said from the very beginning."
