On the recordJuly 25, 2001
I am very much troubled by an article that was written by Steve Kelman, who was President Clinton's Director of Federal Procurement Policy in the White House. Many may know Steve. Mr. Kelman says, This is not a pretty picture. If this was passed, it could literally grind government to a halt. What TRAC does is enormously expand the scope of the Office of Management and Budget's Circular A-76, and it will include services that have always been contracted out in the past. It particularly affects telecommunications services and information technology. It is a troubling procedure that almost exclusively focuses on costs, rather than best value, and demands huge investments of time and resources. I think that is a troubling assessment from somebody who understands the issue.
