On the recordJuly 8, 1997
on behalf of Senators Thompson and Glenn, I offer an amendment which would amend the requirements in the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 to allow electronic commerce at DOD and other Federal agencies to be implemented in a cost-effective manner consistent with commercial practices. The amendment would also make changes to current procurement law to conform civilian agency statutes to DOD statutes regarding the performance-based contracting and to revise a pilot program for the purchase of information technology to make it more competitive by allowing more than one vendor to participate in the program. Mr. President, I believe this amendment has been cleared by the other side, and I urge that the Senate adopt this amendment.
