Yes. However, next time you take a shuttle trip and the off-the-counter $20
toilet seat cover breaks loose, causing havoc and an abort of the launch,
please tell me about all the money you saved. I have an acquaintance who
decided to save $250 and put a car alternator on his boat instead of a
marine alternator (they look the same; he didn't feel he needed to spend the
extra dough). Cost him $60,000, and no insurance money to boot when his boat
exploded and burned. Luckily only minor injuries ...

We need watchdogs, but Proxmire was sometimes an idiot.
