Senator Kelly Ayotte and Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) Stuart Bowen will present a talk called Beyond Baghdad and Bagram: Improving Contingency Contracting and Stability Operations.

Stuart W. Bowen, Jr. was appointed Inspector General for the Coalition Provisional Authority in January 2004, and, since October 2004, he has served as the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) where he functioned at the “taxpayer’s watchdog”. Over the past seven years, Mr. Bowen has made 30 trips to Iraq, managed the production of 364 audits and inspections, issued five comprehensive lessons learned reports, and provided 30 quarterly reports on Iraq reconstruction to the Congress. In March, SIGIR published its final report, entitled Learning From Iraq, which includes seven lessons from Iraq that should inform future stability and reconstruction efforts overseas.

Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Since being elected in 2010, Senator Ayotte has become a leader in the effort to reform U.S. overseas contracting and to force the federal government to improve its stewardship of tax dollars. She led a successful effort in 2011 that has helped Department of Defense contractors in Afghanistan to identify and more quickly cancel contracts that allow tax dollars to fall into the hands of America's enemies. In April, Senator Ayotte introduced bipartisan legislation, the Never Contract with the Enemy bill (S.675), that would improve the nation's acquisition policies by allowing officials across the federal government and around the world to more expeditiously terminate contracts that benefit our enemies.
