Simplified Acquisition Procedures

[edit]
  • ... that U.S. Vice President Al Gore smashed a glass ashtray on the Late Show with David Letterman to advocate for simplified government acquisition procedures?
    Source: "Vice President Al Gore had appeared on The Late Show to decry what he said was a government specification that glass ashtrays be tested for breakage over a maple plank to ensure that no more than 35 shards of glass broke apart... He and Letterman demonstrated the process before a cheering TV audience. " [1]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Looks good to go. Perhaps the hook can include the cost of the ashtray ($500?), but I won't hold this over something that small. SounderBruce 02:06, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
