Saying the time is now to eliminate the systemic problems that have led to the waste of billions of taxpayer dollars, U.S. Senators Claire McCaskill (Mo.) and Jim Webb (Va.) today introduced landmark legislation that would overhaul the federal government's planning, management, and oversight of contracting during overseas contingency operations. The senators' comprehensive reform legislation builds on the recommendations of the U.S. Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan-an independent, bipartisan panel that McCaskill and Webb created through legislation they introduced in 2007.
