General Provision

Sec. 301.  It is the sense of Congress that the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration should not continue to
implement the consolidation of procurement and human resource
services, as recommended by the Technical Capabilities
Assessment Team, until the Comptroller General of the United
States completes--
(1) an analysis of the business case resulting in the
relocation of procurement services under the consolidation;
and
(2) an assessment whether the relocation of procurement
services would enable the Field Centers of the Administration
to leverage for research full-time employees who would revert
to the Centers under the consolidation.
