Why It Matters
The House Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government will examine how federal agencies deploy appropriated funds under the Economy Act, a Depression-era statute that allows agencies to buy goods and services from each other rather than competing vendors, at a hearing scheduled for Tuesday, September 15.
Context
