Congress also must answer an essential question that the Congressional Research Service, in a July report, said it couldn't: For which functions is the use of private contractors cost-effective?

"One item on the leadership agenda might be getting Microsoft to swallow some pride and admit that some of its offerings are less compelling than those of its intended partner, Weiner and other experts said.
