Excerpt from Hearing Before the Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress: First Session on Nomination of Steven J. Kelman to Be Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, November 18, 1993 U.S. Senate, Committee on Governmental Affairs, Washington, DC. The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:23 p.m., in room Sd-342, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Carl Levin presiding. Present: Senators Glenn and Levin. Staff Present: Doris Clanton; Tom Sisti; John Brosnan; Deborah Cohen (Senator Glenn); Susanne Marshall; Mark Forman (Senator Roth); Peter Levine (Senator Levin); and Paul Brubaker (Senator Cohen). Opening Statement Of Senator Levin Senator Levin. The Committee will come to order. We are here today to consider the nomination of Steven Kelman to be the Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. First let me say to Mr. Kelman and his family, and his grand-family, that we are delighted with this nomination. We congratulate you on it, and we know the meaning of this to all the family members who are here, and those who are not here, in terms of your involvement in public service. I know how proud certain grandparents are here today, who will remain unnamed for the moment. But we know first hand just of that pride. The new Administrator of Ofpp will face a huge reform agenda. The Vice President´s National Performance Review, completed in September, recommended substantial legislative and regulatory changes in the procurement area. On the legislative front, we intend to enact the Federal Acquisitions Streamlining Act, a 300- page measure to streamline and rationalize the procurement system. On the regulatory front, the administration has expressed its intent to undertake a complete re-examination of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the Far, this year. A commitment on all sides to improve the procurement system does not mean that we can or should throw out the whole system and start from scratch. The statutes and regulations that now govern the procurement system are there for a reason. We have competition requirements to ensure that we obtain low prices, avoid favoritism and conflict of interest, and provide everybody with a fair chance to compete for Government contracts. We have audit requirements and cost principles to ensure that we get what we pay for under cost-type contracts.
