Abstract

The House Appropriations Committee's report indicated a potential need for (1) an approval system for implementing congressional control over major FFP contracts, which would be similar to the congressional approval system currently in place for DOD's large multiyear contracts or (2) a system by which DOD could report to the Congress annually, along with the budget submission, on the controllability of the procurement budget. We examined these proposals and discussed them with DOD officials.
