The Value of 30-Year Defense Procurement Plans for Congressional Oversight and Decisionmaking – Statement of Eric J. Labs, Senior Analyst for Naval Forces and Weapons, before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Committee on Armed Services, U.S. House of Representatives, June 1, 2011
“Every year, the Congress is asked to approve the procurement of one years worth of expensive items such as ships and aircraft. Yet those decisions have long-term implications. Well-constructed 30-year acquisition plans for major weapon systems can provide information about those implications. I will discuss the role that those plans by DoD can play in Congressional oversight and decisions about funding, the inevitable uncertainty surrounding such plans, and a few suggestions for how the plans might be improved.”
