| CORRECTION |
| We reported
that the $1.5 million to develop
a database matching the $7.5
billion in Iraq reconstruction
funds to officials who authorized
them had been awarded to RMI
on the basis of competitive
bidding. In fact, it was awarded
to the company, a one person
company headquartered in a
residence in Babylon, New York,
as a "sole source
company," where only one
company is considered qualified
for the work. RMI, which had been
incorporated seven weeks before
getting the contract, has
finished its work without
compiling the required database.
We apologize for any confusion
caused by our mistake. |
