Comment :  For the following requirement in item (b) "The modules shall include a set of header comments identifying the module’s purpose, design, conditions, and version history, followed by operational code.", the term 'version history' should be removed as it makes more sense to supply the version history as an external document, not embedded into the module header.  Also version history should be provided on a per file basis, not on a per function basis.  This is standard industry practice.

Proposed change:  Remove, from this requirement, the term "version history".
