Sec. 826--Modification of contracts and options to provide economic price adjustments The House bill contained a provision (sec. 830) that would allow the Department of Defense to modify contract options for economic price adjustment. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify that the Department of Defense may seek consideration when considering whether to modify contracts to include an economic price adjustment clause.
