John McCain: “Is it true that this program is exempt from traditional DOD acquisition regulations?”

The Air Force has opted to cancel the JSTARS Recapitalization program and pursue an Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS).

I especially want to acknowledge the leadership of Senator McCain of Arizona who introduced the Native American Languages Act (NALA) in 1990.

If John McCain were here, he'd be saying; Who can we fire? Why is this--this is a pure management problem, it seems to me.

Does the Joint Program Office management structure properly align responsibility and accountability?
