      "title": "Defense Department Original Transformation Proposal: Compared to Existing Law",
      "summary": "The Department of Defense (DOD) has sent the Congress a major proposal entitled \"Defense\nTransformation for the 21st Century Act of 2003\"on April 10, 2003. The complex proposal would\nhave made many changes, and in some cases, major changes, in the military personnel and\nacquisition systems, and in the statutory basis for much of DOD's civilian personnel system. The\nchanges would have affected in a number of titles in the United States Code but primarily in Title\n5 (Government Organization and Employees), and Title 10 (Armed Forces). A number of\ncongressional committees have begun action on various parts of this proposal. The Senate Armed\nServices Committee reported  S. 1050  on May 9 ( S.Rept. 108-46 ), and the House Armed\nServices Committee reported  H.R. 1588  on May 16 ( H.Rept. 108-106 ); the House\nCommittee on Government Reform reported  H.R. 1836  on May 8 (ordered to be\nreported (amended) by voice vote).\n  This report briefly summarizes and presents all of the sections of the original DOD proposal\nin a side by side with the relevant provisions in current law, if they exist, that would have been\naffected by the proposal. The idea is to provide a \"road map\" that relates each section of the\nproposal to existing law. Provisions from the Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002 specific to the\nDepartment of Homeland Security are separately listed from the rest of the existing law, and are the\nmost recently enacted changes to Title 5. The Homeland Security Act represents the broadest\nchanges in the Title in a number of years. HSA provisions that applied government-wide are covered\nunder \"Current Law\" (Column 2) of the report. The DOD proposal, if it had been enacted in its\nentirety, would have resulted in significantly greater changes in Title 5 than the HSA changes.\n  The DOD proposal covered a wide spectrum of current law. As a result, a number of\nCongressional Research Service (CRS) analysts and attorneys contributed to this report. Most are\nlisted in a \"Key Policy Staff\" table at the end of this report. This report will be updated if additional\nclarification of DOD's proposal or relevant current law is warranted.",
