The chairman of the House Armed Service subcommittee on oversight and investigations, Vic Snyder, sent the following letter (pdf version) to Ken Miller, an Air Force official responsible for acquisition governance and transparency, as a follow-up to Miller's December 5, 2007, briefing to Congress on issues raised in POGO's CSAR-X report:
According to Chairman Snyder, Miller told Congress that "the issues raised by POGO were in part the result of insufficient tracking and documentation of changes to Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and other requirements prior to formal approval by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC)."
Despite this significant substantiation of POGO's findings, privately to Congress, the Air Force had tried to smear POGO's report. However, we were leaked a copy of the Air Force's power point presentation, which is riddled with inconsistencies.
We recently noted that the Defense Department's inspector general is launching an audit into CSAR-X requirements changes beginning next month.
