Amendment to Encourage the Outsourcing of Department of Defense Jobs

Jun. 13, 2013 | H.R. 1960
An amendment to FY 2014 Defense Authorization Act by Rep. Scott Rigell (R-Va.) would have lifted the long-standing ban on outsourcing Department of Defense (DoD) jobs under a process known as A-76. Congress originally imposed a government-wide moratorium on the use of the A-76 process because of long-standing problems identified by the DoD Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office in DoD's annual $200 billion in contracting that have not been corrected. The amendment was rejected.

This is Bad for working people.
