 <title>Defense Contracting: Questions for the Record</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>On September 7, 2006, GAO testified before the Subcommittee on
Defense, Committee on Appropriations, on recent trends in	 
Department of Defense (DOD) contracting. Specifically, GAO	 
testified about practices that undermine DOD&apos;s ability to	 
establish sound business arrangements, particularly those	 
involving the selection and oversight of DOD&apos;s contractors and	 
their performance. This correspondence responds to a number of	 
post-hearing questions relating to various issues, including	 
measures that DOD can employ to ensure better contracting	 
outcomes.</abstract>
