		With respect to the particular arguments advanced by Alliant to reduce the fee award, we are persuaded that the reductions already taken by the court from the original $151,000 requested by Mr.

		Minneapolis-based Alliant Techsystems is one of the nation's less well known military contractors and exporters.

		Alliant Techsystems continues to refuse to renounce its involvement in the production of antipersonnel landmines and is extremely defensive of its self-destructing antipersonnel mines which it claims have a reliability factor of 99.99996 percent.
		Tell him that Alliant's continued refusal to renounce its involvement in the production of antipersonnel mines is unacceptable as it flies in the face of worldwide revulsion for this inhumane and indiscriminate weapon.

		The stock seems rather expensive to me now, but the company is performing well and reducing some of its risk, and I can see potential sources of a future upside.
		Alliant capped its fiscal year with a solid performance.
		And let's not forget, the U.S. does tend to find itself in armed conflict fairly frequently, so I wouldn't just assume that in the future there will be an automatic shift away from guns and bombs toward electronics and such.
