        program risk; and
            (2) appropriate steps will be taken as soon as practicable

                use a contract type other than a cost-plus reimbursable 
                contract for the development of the major acquisition 
                program;
                    (B) all reasonable efforts have been made to define

                contract for the development of the major acquisition 
                program; and
                    (C) despite the efforts described in subparagraph

                sufficiently to allow for the use of a contract type
