Abstract
For the first time in recent memory, acquisition reform has emerged as a significant topic in Presidential discourse. While procurement surfaced occasionally as a second-tier issue in last fall''s debates, its importance has increased considerably in the current economic crisis. The massive federal spending of recent months has highlighted the need for cost-savings elsewhere, and the President has announced acquisition reform as a priority of his Administration to help achieve those savings.
