Section 841 requires the Commission to assess a number of factors
related to wartime contracting, including the extent of waste, fraud,
abuse, and mismanagement of wartime contracts. The Commission has the
authority to hold hearings and to refer to the Attorney General any
violation or potential violation of law it identifies in carrying out
its duties.
The Commission is required to issue at least two reports, an interim
report and a final report to Congress. The interim report, "At What
Cost? Contingency Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan," was issued June
10, 2009; a PDF copy is here. The final report, due in 2011, will
include findings, identify lessons learned, and include specific
recommendations for improvements to be made in a broad range of matters
related to wartime contracting. The Commission will sunset 60 days
after submitting its final report.

Supreme Court upholds terrorism support law
Reuters - James Vicini, Bill Trott - 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Monday upheld a law that
bars Americans from providing support to foreign terrorist groups,
rejecting arguments that it violated constitutional rights of free
speech and association. ...

Numerous audits, investigations, and congressional hearings have
documented the magnitude of the problem. The Defense Contract Audit
Agency estimated in 2007, for example, that there were more than $10
billion in questioned and unsupported costs relating to the Iraq
reconstruction and military support contracts valued at $57 billion
that it had reviewed. The agency noted that contracts worth $300
billion remained to be audited.
Similarly, congressional testimony by the Department of Defense
Inspector General (DOD IG) staff in May 2008 revealed that its review
of 702 U.S. Army commercial payments in Iraq, Kuwait, and Egypt
indicated the Army made an estimated $1.4 billion in contract and
vendor payments that lacked minimum supporting documentation and
information for proper payment. When payments were not properly
supported, the Army lacked assurance that funds were used as intended.
The DOD IG also estimated $6.3 billion in Army commercial payments had
the minimum supporting documents and information for a proper payment,
but lacked support needed to comply with various laws and regulations.
To achieve its objectives, the Commission is empowered to hold
hearings, take testimony, receive evidence, and provide for the
attendance and testimony of witnesses as well as the production of
documents. The Commission is able to secure from any agency of the
federal government any information or assistance that it considers
necessary to enable it to carry out its mandate to study, assess, and
to make recommendations to Congress on wartime contracting. The
Commission is also empowered to refer to the U.S. Attorney General any
violation or potential violation of law it identifies. The law requires
the Commission to make interim and final reports to Congress, and
authorizes issuance of special reports as appropriate.
The Commission’s interim report, “At What Cost? Contingency Contracting
in Iraq and Afghanistan,” was issued in June 2009. Language in the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 extended the
Commission’s life by up to a year, so the final report to Congress,
originally required in summer 2010, is now due in summer 2011.
