Abstract
This decade has seen an unprecedented amount of legislation in the area of federal defense procurement; legislation that covers a broad spectrum of issues involving the Department of Defense (DOD) weapons acquisition system. In 1988 alone, Congress passed eight laws embodying fifty-four separate provisions affecting the system. The reforms were in response to what is often described as a failed acquisition system.
