Mr. Quinn said that he does not agree that the recommended discount cash flow analysis of life cycle costs should have been undertaken in this case because of particular and extenuating circumstances. While it seems that the Department was somewhat over a barrel given the situation that it found itself in with regard to the jet's condition and where it was located in this case, could Mr. Quinn detail for the committee what those circumstances were?
