WASHINGTON, March 24 |
WASHINGTON, March 24 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that there is a consensus that the procurement system for U.S. defense contracts does not work.
Obama said during his second prime-time White House news conference since taking office on Jan. 20 that there is a need to reform the system so that taxpayer dollars are not wasted while keeping the country safe.
He said that his administration had already identified $40 billion of savings. (Reporting by Martin Howell)
