Dod, the military need and funding sequestration is the problem. Are you propose inging 1078 kind of appeal fshor sellquestrationsequestration . Unless you also do something on the domestic side whats the solution to sequestration that you see . Well i guess my primary point is it has to be fixed. Now, that fix has got to pass the house of representatives, its got to pass the senate and its got to be signed into law by the president. So, what that means is the Arms Services committee alone cannot fix it. Youve got to have 218 and 60 and 1e to get it done.

Are you propose inging 1078 kind of appeal fshor sellquestrationsequestration . Unless you also do something on the domestic side whats the solution to sequestration that you see . Well i guess my primary point is it has to be fixed. Now, that fix has got to pass the house of representatives, its got to pass the senate and its got to be signed into law by the president
Implementation to goad and exhort and encourage. I think thats really good. With respect to the whole subject, you are familiar with the document issued december 10. Yes, im familiar with it. I assume that you and your i. T. Expert let me not assume assume. Was that a helpful document in terms of laying out goals and objectives . Yes. You concur. It set the foundation for key initiatives going forward. And for example when it talks about we ought to approve funding of major i. T. Programs only when it meets three basic criteria. Right . Have a dedicated manager parnd a fully staffed integrated program team, use a modular approach with usable functionality delivered every six months. I think they mean by that, break up huge multiyear complex Systems Integration contracts so that theyre easier to manage. And thirdly, use specialized i. T. Acquisition professionals.
