The major issues included: timeliness of the SAR, Project Manager reporting chain of command, the SAR review process, cost estimating procedures, escalation and cost growth, role of the SAR, project 'optimism,' rewards and pressures associated with project management, Congressional Committee views of the SAR, and the background and history of the SAR.
