Statement of Elmer B. Staats, Comptroller General of the United States Before the Subcommittee on Military Operations Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives on H.R. 474 "To Establish a Commission on Government Procurement"

Abstract

I appreciate your invitation to discuss H.R. 474 which would establish a Commission on Government Procurement. By letter of February 17, 1967, we furnished the Chairman, House Government Operations Committee, our comments and suggestions on the specific provisions of H.R. 157, a bill similar to H.R. 474. We included with that report an appendix setting forth some of the problem areas in Government procurement which we recommended for consideration by the Commission. Also, at the hearings on H.R. 157 before the Subcommittee on April 11, 1967, I stated the reasons why we felt that an overall study as proposed by the bill has merit.
