Inclusion of certain major information
technology investments in acquisition oversight authorities for
Major Automated Information System programs (sec. 802)
The committee recommends a provision that would amend chapter
144A of title 10, United States Code, to require the Department
of Defense to extend reporting requirements for information
technology acquisitions to cover both Major Automated Information
System (MAIS) programs and other major information technology
investments. Under current law, these reporting requirements
apply only to MAIS programs.
