Integration of civil and military roles
in attaining national technology and industrial base objectives
(sec. 882)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 872) that would amend section 2501(b) of title 10, United States Code, to ensure that the Secretary of Defense when meeting the national security strategy for the national technology and industrial base shall engage in acquisition reform efforts that: (1) rely, to the maximum extent practicable, upon the commercial national technology and industrial base that is required to meet the national security needs of the United States; (2) reduce the reliance of the Department of Defense on technology and industrial base sectors that are economically dependent on Department of Defense business; and (3) reduce Federal Government barriers to the use of commercial products, processes, and standards. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. |
