Inherency – 1AC – Congress
Status quo ideas of “inherently governmental functions” are too vague – reform is needed.
Luckey, Grasso and Manuel 10 (“Inherently Governmental Functions and Department of Defense Operations: Background, Issues, and Options for Congress” John R. Legislative Attorney Valerie Bailey Specialist in Defense Acquisition Kate M. Legislative Attorney February 1, http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R40641.pdf)KM
One common theme in the recent literature on inherently governmental functions is that there are numerous and/or inconsistent definitions of inherently governmental functions within federal law and policy. For example, in its report on the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for FY2009, the House of Representatives noted that the task of determining which functions must be performed by government employees: ... is made even more difficult by the lack of a single definition and accompanying guidance on what constitutes an “inherently governmental function.” Currently, the Federal Acquisition Regulation defines that term in multiple places, the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 also defines the term, and there is yet another definition in the Federal Activities Inventory Reform Act (P.L. 105-270). There is also the additional DOD-specific definition of [functions] “closely associated with inherently governmental functions.”168 Similarly, in its report Changing the Culture of Pentagon Contracting, the New America Foundation noted that the phrase “inherently governmental functions” appears 15 times in the United States Code “without a clear or consistent definition.”169 Commentators raising this point appear to be suggesting that agencies would not contract out allegedly inherently governmental functions if (1) they did not have to determine which definition applied in particular cases and/or (2) they had clear definitions to guide their decision making in particular cases.
