At the Software Technology Conference held in Salt Lake City last month,
one of the speakers (Col. Chadwick, USMC) said that a committee was
being formed, including Dr. Barry Boehm, to consider whether Ada should
be a mandate for software development for the DoD, and that their 
findings were due in October '96.  

Does anyone know any more about this committee or have any background
as to what its charter is?  How do its findings affect whether future
DoD software projects must be developed in Ada?

Any information about this committee would be greatly appreciated.
