<span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">NOAA officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It’s not clear how much money would be saved by eliminating the cloud contract — though McLean warned it would be a fraction of what the
lost websites could cost the nation. It’s also likely illegal because it violates NOAA’s statutory obligations, he said.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
