The House Armed Services Committee <a href="http://armedservices.house.gov/pdfs/HASCFY10NDAA061709.pdf">passed legislation</a> on Tuesday that would authorize the Defense Department to enter into agreements with the private sector to arrange for the temporary assignment of Defense IT professionals to private sector jobs, or for private sector IT professionals to be assigned to Defense organizations.
The House Armed Services Committee passed legislation on Tuesday that would authorize the Defense Department to enter into agreements with the private sector to arrange for the temporary assignment of Defense IT professionals to private sector jobs, or for private sector IT professionals to be assigned to Defense organizations.
