Some of the US Congressmen (All Democrats) have not shown up in this little yarn I am spinning but eventually they will, because these honorable members of Congress will be adding their two cents worth the legislative action they have named HB 1542 The No Bear left Behind Act.
The mantra of most Government workers is CYA or cover your Ass.  Very few bureaucrats, no matter what the country or what kind of political system it is, will take it upon themselves to never do anything against the accepted protocol.  If a low ranking bureaucrat comes upon a situation that is not covered by their protocol or written directions, they will do nothing and request a higher ranking bureaucrat to make a decision on how to handle the situation.
This line of thinking is also prevalent in the Corporate world in that employees of most large corporations never think “outside the box”.  If you do your hands will be smacked and you will end up not being trusted by those over you. 
While I am at it, here is a little status report of this piece of legislation:

Leonard Badowski’s office
Basement of the Old Patent Office
Washington DC
Wednesday January 4, 2012
“Where was that dip shit Franks,” Wondered GS-12 Leonard Badowski.  Leonard had summoned GS-7 Sheldon Franks to his office an hour ago.  GS-12 Leonard Badowski was not used to being kept waiting by people so far down the GS chain that they needed step latter to take a crap in the mens room.  
“Mister Franks is here, sir.”  Announced Leonard’s Secretary Bobie
“Send him in.”
“You wanted to see me sir?” asked GS-7 Sheldon Franks
“What is your Russian friend saying these days Franks?”
“The Russians now plan on selling their own devise on the open market.”
“They plan on selling it on the open market?  What do you mean?  
“They plan to sell it to other countries.”
“You mean to say that other Brown Bears are going extinct?”
“They have found a way to use it for other animals that are on the verge of extinction.”
“Who are they planning to sell this technology to?”
The Chinese, with the Panda Bears and New Zealand with the Fairy Tern and the Greater Short Tailed Bat.”  
“How much do they plan on selling the technology for?
“Nothing they plan on sharing what they have with the rest of the world.  It really ought to provide them with lots of public opinion dividends.”
“Public opinion dividends? You can’t get rich doing that crap?  What is their game to make us look bad?”
“It would seem that is the case.”
“Damn Russkie Commies!” Exclaimed GS-12 Leonard Badowski. “When do they plan on finishing up on their tests and start using their gizmo for real?”
“Looks like sometime June 20th of this year.”
GS-12 Leonard Badowski took a sip of his stale coffee and then looked at his calender.
“Six and a half months, you say?  Damn Congress has still not voted on funding this project.”
“But we have picked a company to make the “Bear Paws” sir and the public is all in support and calling their congressmen on a daily basis.”
“Well Franks, if this thing works our as I think it will, you and I may be up for a promotion and a change of offices.”
“Gee sir, I am not in this for any glory or promotion!  I just want to save the Great American Brown Bear!”
“Sure you are.”  Thought GS-12 Leonard Badowski.
