Striking a balance between government efficiency and fairness to contractors: past performance evaluations in government contracts
Article Abstract:
The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 stipulated agencies must institute the past performances on contracts as an element for consideration in the granting of government contracts. Worthy contractors, however, have found it difficult at times to overcome adverse past performances when seeking new contracts. Federal Acquisition Rule Part 15 should be changed to allow an offeror contractor the opportunity to address adverse past performances so agencies cannot preclude worthy contractors from participating in the competition for new contracts.

Interest groups, judicial review, and the origins of broadcast regulation
Article Abstract:
A political interpretation of judicial review provisions is supported by a study of interest group influence on broadcast regulation under the Communications Act of 1934. Interest groups consider factors such as past experience, the current legal climate, institutional characteristics, and the effects on opponents of different judicial review provisions. For example, the National Assn of Broadcasters attempted to influence the choice of judicial review provisions in legislative hearings on the Communications Act of 1934.
