Thornberry Considering Punishing DoD for Moving Too Slowly on New Laws

Abstract

The House Armed Services Committee top Republican does not like the speed in which the Defense Department is implementing acquisition reforms and possible cuts to some defense agencies, and he is ready to do something about it. Committee Ranking Member Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) told reporters Tuesday he prepared to use legislative sticks and carrots to spur DoD on to abide by the law faster.
