Thornberry unveils Pentagon reform package
By: Aaron Mehta  
WASHINGTON — Rep. Mac Thornberry, the Texas Republican serving as ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee, unveiled proposed legislation Thursday for a package of reforms aimed at the Pentagon.
Over the past five years, Thornberry has introduced a series of rolling reforms to how the Defense Department does business, but the fiscal 2021 effort will be his last; Thornberry is not running for reelection. The goal of releasing the language before discussions begin on the National Defense Authorization Act is to solicit feedback from experts, the department and industry on the pros and cons of the ideas.
“Nobody’s smart enough to know all the implications of moving things around in the system. So put it out there, let people have their shot at it, make adjustments as appropriate,†Thornberry told reporters Thursday while also unveiling a personnel reform effort.
