Mr. Quinn accepts that, as the Comptroller and Auditor General said, an analysis of costs and the benefits associated with different potential courses of action is key in decision making. However, he disagrees with the finding of the Comptroller and Auditor General that, in the case of the Gulfstream jet, the Department did not formally appraise the economic case for increased maintenance costs. He says the Department was under pressure. Is that right?
