In a briefing on May 20, 2010, Secretary Gates said The Bush administration opposed this engine. The Obama administration opposes itWe have recommended for several years now against funding this engine, considering it a waste of money. And to argue that we should add another $3 billion in what we regard as waste to protect the $1.5 billion that we believe already has been wasted, frankly, I don't track the logic.

Gates continued, As I've said before, only in Washington does a proposal where everybody wins get considered a competition, where everybody is guaranteed a piece of the action at the end. Yes, we're in favor of competition, but my idea of competition is winner takes all, and we don't have that kind of a situation here.
