U.S. lawmaker to kick off Pentagon acquisition reform bid
March 23, 2015
The head of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee plans to introduce legislation on Wednesday as part of a six-year drive aimed at speeding up and improving the way the Pentagon buys arms at a time of rapid gains in technology by Russia and China.
The legislation includes six measures proposed by Pentagon acquisition chief Frank Kendall, who has been looking to reduce the burden posed by thousands of pages of overlapping federal acquisition rules and other requirements.
