SUMMARY: Acquisition Letter (AL) 2015-04 has been revised as follows:

The AL was revised to delete the clause associated with Section 739, "Reporting on Conference Spending." The Deputy Secretary has recently issued a new memorandum dated August 17, 2015 dealing with conference-related activities and spending. The memorandum contains a new model clause. The memorandum and model clause will be the subject of a separate Acquisition Letter.
