Oh BS! They recently had the entire interiors completely re-modeled costing several $M. In fact, I seem to recall new red carpeting to make every NNSA employee feel like a king or queen when they walk in. The place looks brand new inside with real wood paneling, huge offices, oak desks, etc. Furthermore, many employees at the sites (e.g. LLNL, LANL) are in rat infested 50-year old single-wide trailers. Considering the non-value added of NNSA employees to National Security, this is defintely NOT NEEDED.

Therefore it would seem the posts would revolve around the need or justification for this new facility. If there are facility safety, health, and quality of life issues with the old and unacceptable NNSA facility, how are the same concerns being addressed by other essential organizations in the complex? History lessons on what the NNSA was to accomplish in the year ~2,000, the architectural theme of the new NNSA facility, or its lobby paintings, are off topic. Directing more resources to the NNSA in the form of a new facility is the topic. Is the NNSA a success story worth devoting additional resources to? A question for Congress to answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
