Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Department of Defense | Because the B-2 Selected Acquisition Report submitted by DOD does not meet the requirement of section 151(f) of the 1993 act, the Secretary of Defense should issue a revised report with the information required by Congress. |
Closed – Not Implemented
DOD maintains that the SAR did meet the requirement for a cost report specified by section 151 (f), in part, because 758 pages of backup materials were available to expand on the information in the SAR.
