The Pentagon may seek aids worth $70 billion from Bush before he departs, but that fund will be strictly meant for the wars and related operations for Iraq and Afghanistan and not for cleaning, maintaining and repairing the memorial built for the 184 unfortunate victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack in Washington.

The Pentagon wants a private contractor to clean, maintain and repair the memorial to the 184 victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack in Washington.

In procurement documents posted on the Web Tuesday, the Department of Defense said the contract would encompass "all activities associated with the operation and maintenance, including repairs, of the two-acre Pentagon Memorial."

"Principle duties are keeping the area free of litter, raking the gravel areas to ensure smoothness, removal of gravel from unit pools, polishing metal surfaces, cleaning stone faces and assuring the pools remain clear," the document states.Source

That must be a policy decision.
