Let me assure my colleague from Missouri, Senator Bond, that it is my understanding of the provisions of S. 1587 that the Senator describes will most certainly apply to the Veterans Affairs Department and its subordinate elements including the Veterans Health Administration. It was the clear intent of the committee that the Federal bureaucracy be given incentives to use commercial products to fulfill their acquisition needs. The language of section 5051, in conjunction with the provisions of title VIII, will provide a direct financial incentive for the acquisition work force at the Department of Veterans Affairs to use commercial items to save time and money, while meeting agency requirements.
