Has the Department of Justice done a review? I know of one case involving the Coast Guard service, which has nothing to do with the Department of Justice. In that case, contracts were sent to the Office of the Chief State solicitor and the OPW to sign off on them. There was a gap of two years between the contracts being sent and being signed. The project was delayed by two years. What mechanisms have the Department of Justice in place to ensure a delay like that does not occur?
