# 50 U.S.C. § 2361 - Sense of Congress concerning contracting policy
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of State, to the extent authorized by law, should—
|
||
|
||
(1) contract directly with suppliers in independent states of the former Soviet Union when such action would—
|
||
|
||
(A) result in significant savings of the programs referred to in subchapter III; and
|
||
|
||
(B) substantially expedite completion of the programs referred to in subchapter III; and
|
||
|
||
(2) seek means to use innovative contracting approaches to avoid delay and increase the effectiveness of such programs and of the exercise of such authorities.
