The committee report says H.R.347, the DHS Acquisition Documentation Integrity Act of 2017, required DHS components to maintain acquisition documentation for major acquisition programs. It records that Thompson of Mississippi introduced the bill with Watson Coleman, McCaul, and Perry, and that the House passed it by voice vote.
Assessments
Thompson materially supported legislation matching the promise during his current federal House term by joining as an original cosponsor of H.R. 9882, the DHS Acquisition Documentation Integrity Act, and publicly framing it as a way to keep DHS acquisition programs on track and protect taxpayer dollars. The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment, so introduction and original cosponsorship are enough to count as delivered in the same term. His earlier role introducing the 2017 version further supports a consistent legislative record on the same DHS acquisition oversight issue.
