Acquisition Reform: DOD Acquisition Law Advisory Panel's Operations and
Report (Letter Report, 12/01/93, GAO/NSIAD-94-5).

The final report of the Defense Department's Acquisition Law Advisory
Panel, entitled Streamlining Defense Acquisition Laws, examined more
than 600 laws and made specific legislative proposals aimed at
streamlining the defense acquisition process.  GAO (1) reviewed whether
the selection of Panel members and Panel operations fulfilled the
relevant legal requirements; (2) analyzed and described the
information-gathering and analytical approaches the Panel used; and (3)
reviewed the Panel's report and determined the extent to which the
report presents opposing, or otherwise differing, views to its
recommendations for statutory change.  GAO also identified Panel
recommendations that would change acquisition laws applicable to all
federal agencies or create new inconsistencies in the statutory
requirements for Pentagon and civilian agencies' procurements.
