establishment of a committee to study existing PPA/PRA proce-
dures and, if appropriate, make recommendations for changes.

necessary or desirable. However, discussions and correspondence
pertaining to changes in the current system have taken place
outside the Office of Logistics, and it is incumbent upon this
Office to be ahead of the power curve in presenting innovative
changes leading to improvements in effectiveness and efficiency

reporting systems in the context of other ongoing efforts to
streamline and to improve materiel services and management.
