Not later than December 31, 1981, the director shall submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations on the results and impact of the requirements of this section and actions taken under this section, including the effects upon procurement and apportionment processes, together with any recommendations the Director considers appropriate. Concurrent with the submittal of the report to the Committees on Appropriations under the preceding sentence, the director shall submit a copy of such report to the Comptroller General, who shall promptly review that report and submit to the Committees on Appropriations an analysis of the report and any recommendations which the Comptroller General considers appropriate.
