Initiatives of Interest• Redirect energy dollars to oil/gas/shale/clean coal from Clean

Energy and Green Energy• Increase manufacturing dollars• Increase infrastructure spending in a HUGE way – create millions

Small and Mid-Sized Gov Cons• Indicators that small business contracting will continue to be

significant• Consolidation trends not showing signs of slowing down• Mid-Tier squeeze could see pull back with increased budget for

large-scale programs
