Reps. Moran and Davis comment on Acquisition Reform

Check it out...both of Northern Virginia's representatives have a vision for acquisition reform. Rep. Davis believes
(Y)ou get the best acquisition officials you can find. If you give them a tool box of different contracting vehicles so that they can decide what’s best for the government, and you train them well and allow them to do their job, if you do that right — they will make a mistake once in a while — but most of
the time you’re going to get a good outcome.

Rep. Moran is taking a slightly different tack. According to this article, he believes that
Government contracting desperately needs oversight and reform, especially regarding the contracting workforce and small-business support.
He also says that more government employees should be scrutinizing contracts.
We have got, as far as I am concerned, to move people from the private sector into the public sector to provide those inherently governmental
functions
I guess we have a lot of reform to look forward to.
