Congressional Involvement and Relations. A Guide for Department of Defense Acquisition Managers

Abstract

This Guide describes how Congress is organized and structured to perform its two major responsibilities in working with DOD: the legislative process and the oversight function. It provides history, timetables, explanations and rationale. It attempts to educate without hand-holding, inform without overwhelming. It offers recommendations based on current directives and operating procedures, traditions, experience and a great deal of 'street smart intellect'. Included as reference material is a partial listing of DOD directives on this subject. Because this Guide is written in the broadest sense, it does not republish contents of those documents. You should refer to this listing and other documents for specific 'how-to' guidance.
