Comments:
There are several points that are not adequately addressed in this legislation: 1. There is no objective proof that confirms that NSPS can or will be able to meet the KPPs. 2. There is no objective proof offered that clearly shows that the NSPS is better than the system will replace. 3. There is no operational test and evaluation planned for NSPS as required for all other major acquisition systems. I want change but I want a change with a reasonable assurance that it will be an improvement over the current system. An evolutionary approach while not as dramatic as the revolutionary approach to changing the personnel system is much more likely to produce the desired effect without undue trauma to the organization. I respectfully request that we search for a better solution before implementing NSPS.
