Mr. Chairman, the gentlewoman's amendment is going to do much to shed light on how this whole bill is going to work. It is going to provide Congress with the administrative material to comply with H.R. 5. The information is going to be of interest to the President as well, since much of this is what is required by the President through his Executive order, and I believe this affords the Congress strong oversight. I think it is a very valuable addition to what we are trying to accomplish in H.R. 5. It does clarify what is required, and I am glad to support the gentlewoman.

I would just question the appropriateness of the inspector general making policy in these kinds of areas. It seems to me it is the policymakers of the Department of Defense who really should be paid attention to in this area.
