Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, Mr. Jordan.
I have a very practical question for you. I would like to know whether the entire procurement system is grouped together under your Administration. You talk about $400 billion worth of procurement. Is that through a single agency or does each individual agency have its own procurement department? How do you go about obtaining information from each of those agencies? You say that they produce a report, which you then verify, but do you actually validate that report? Do you engage in more in-depth research? Do you ask questions? Finally, is the procurement system as a whole centralized?
