![["Glenn English, a member of Congress, received a letter from John F. Benham regarding the \"rule of two\" provision in Part 19 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. In response, English thanked Benham for his letter, enclosed a copy of his previous letter on the issue, and expressed his willingness to address any other concerns Benham may have. Benham's letter expressed opposition to the \"rule of two\" provision, stating that it hinders competition and should be replaced by a provision that allows all interested firms to submit bids. The Benham Group, a firm with a long history of federal contract work, relies on federal contracts for its livelihood and believes that open competition is essential for the success of private enterprise."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_28_0000-Management%20and%20Budget,%201983-1985/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_28_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Response from Office of Management and Budget on Federal Acquisition Regulation Compliance")
