Comptroller General review of
Department of Defense processes for the acquisition of weapons
systems (sec. 824)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision (sec. 824) requiring the Comptroller General to carry out a comprehensive review of the processes and procedures of the Department of Defense for the acquisition of weapon systems. The objective of the review is to identify processes and procedures for the acquisition of weapon systems that provide little or no value or for which any value added is outweighed by cost or schedule delays without adding commensurate value. The House bill contained no similar provision. The agreement contains this provision with a clarifying amendment. We direct the Comptroller General to provide the congressional defense committees with the required report no later than January 31, 2015. Comptroller General of
