House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) wants to know why Department of Defense (DOD) officials suddenly and without public explanation cancelled its replacement for an old travel reservations system that generated nearly $1 billion in improper payments from 2016 to 2018.

In a June 30 letter to Under-Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Gilbert Cisneros, Jr., Mace noted DOD’s “sudden cancellation of a $374 million contract aimed at replacing its archaic, quarter-century old Defense Travel System (DTS) with MyTravel, a subscription-based software, as a service system.”
