Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: Last week, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) heard testimony, regarding a so-called "revolving door" between the Pentagon and companies to which it awards contracts. The SASC's Personnel Subcommittee presented a report from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on the topic. It expresses concerns about undue influence and the potential ethical dilemmas of having so many former DoD officials working in the private sector.

To hear more about that and other legislative developments, Federal Drive Executive Producer Eric White spoke to Stephanie Kostro, Executive Vice President for Policy at the Professional Services Council.
