OVERVIEW OF GAO'S BUDGET



As in prior years GAO has continued to concentrate on providing the Congress with products of high
quality that address major national issues pending before the Congress. To maintain this emphasis, the
Appropriations Committees have provided the necessary financial support to allow GAO to enhance its
productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness by concentrating some funding on removal of asbestos from its
physical facilities and modernization of its technology. Modem technology, successful recruitment of
talented people, and a heavy investment in training have allowed GAO to increase its productivity and
enhance the quality of its services to the Congress over the last decade without any increase in staffing.
In addition, technological innovation and the productivity gains GAO is realizing more and more
demands sophisticated hardware, and specialized software which must be purchased, modified,
developed, and maintained.

Although budgets have been tight over the past several years, GAO has been supported by the
Congress with adequate funding levels through fiscal year 1992. In fiscal year 1993, however, severe
reductions to the GAO budget will seriously impact on the agency's ability to travel, contract, supply
necessary equipment in support of its audit and evaluation work, and remove asbestos from the GAO
building. It is also likely that GAO will need to consider either a furlough or reduction-in-force (RIF) in the
latter half of the fiscal year in order to live within its current appropriation. Carrying current budget
restraints through fiscal year 1994 would have a deleterious effect on GAO's overall operations.
Therefore, the budget request for fiscal year 1994 presents what GAO needs to permit essential travel, '
essential contracting for specialized expertise in support of audit and evaluation assignments, continued
removal of asbestos from the GAO building, and equipment purchases necessary for the use of
professional staff in the performance of their audit work. The funding increase requested does not
provide for the restoration of any of the 1 62 average positions cut in fiscal year 1 993, but is to cover
essential activities for the currently approved staffing level of 4,900 full-time, average positions and only
essential support for those employees.

Fiscal Year 1992 Highlights

GAO had another productive year addressing national and international issues of concern to the
Congress. Agency goals during the past year continued to focus on how best to serve the needs of the
Congress-making GAO more responsive, producing high quality and timely products and services,
determining the relevance of reports to the congressional agenda, and spotting trends that require the
commitment of future resources.

Significant issues addressed during fiscal year 1992 include

• In the budget area, GAO issued a comprehensive report examining the influence of federal fiscal
policy on economic growth and addressing the long-term implications of the Federal budget
deficit.

• In the defense area, GAO's reports on Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm provided the
Congress with up-to-date costs and funding requirements as well as efforts related to force
deployment, including evaluation of training preparation and the roles and experiences of military
women.

• In the food and agriculture area, GAO sponsored a forum for congressional staff and rural
development community representatives to examine the problems affecting rural America,
their underlying causes, and policy alternatives for addressing them.



1199



• In the financial markets area, GAO's reports on international securities found that the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) lacked the legislative authorities needed
to fully share information and cooperate with foreign regulators and the Securities and
Exchange Commission needed to collect information on financial activities of U.S. securities
firms' unregulated affiliated, broker-dealer holding companies.

• In the health area, GAO reports analyzed options for containing the rapidly escalating cost
of health care, improving access to health care for the 35 million Americans who lack any
health insurance, and overcoming federal barriers to implementing health care reforms of
various states.

• In related work, GAO's report on breast cancer prevention, treatment, and research from

1 971 to 1 991 concluded that more effective treatment to improve survival rates and disease
prevention cannot occur until fundamental knowledge gaps are addressed.

• In the financial management area, GAO trained over 1 ,000 Inspectors General (IG) staff to
perform financial audits, published new financial audit methodology for Chief Financial
Officer Act (CFO) audits, and developed software tools for conducting the audits.

The value of GAO's work to the nation also continued to be demonstrated during this past year. GAO
recommendations issued in prior years continue to be implemented. This past fiscal year, 1 , 1 71
recommendations made by GAO over the last 5 years were implemented. In addition, GAO made 1 ,71 5
recommendations in fiscal year 1 992 citing specific actions that the Congress and federal agencies
could undertake within the next 4 years to improve government operations and reduce costs. During
fiscal year 1 992, our work contributed to legislative and executive actions that yielded a record $36.2
billion in measurable financial benefits, or $82 for every dollar appropriated to GAO for fiscal year 1 992.

Examples of significant government financial benefits resulting from GAO reports or testimony follows.

• GAO continued to scrutinize annual Department of Defense (DOD) funding requests for
military operations. As a result of this work, the Appropriations Committees reduced military
services' operation and maintenance and air defense initiative budgets by over $5.5 billion.

• GAO identified weaknesses in the systems, controls, and procedures used by the Air Force
to budget for reparable spare parts. Acting on GAO's recommendations, the Senate
Appropriations Committee reduced the Air Force's fiscal year 1 992 budget by $73 million.

• The Congress rescinded $14.7 billion of supplemental funding for Operation Desert
Shield/Desert Storm and terminated the Persian Gulf Regional Defense Fund. GAO had
provided the Congress with numerous testimonies, reports, and briefings on DOD 's access
to the funding.

• GAO continued to target specific improvements in Medicare. Congress adopted GAO
recommendations to extend the secondary payer provisions for Medicare disability
beneficiaries resulting in savings of $891 miHion to the Medicare program.

• GAO's reports on USDA major systems acquisitions and capacity management led to
savings of $214 million at the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), and the U.S. Forest Service.



1200



• GAO had provided the Congress with 17 reports and testimonies since March 12, 1987 thai
addressed the design and construction of 2 new tritium production reactors. In September 1992
the Secretary of Energy announced that this program would be deferred and reactor design
efforts would be brought to a prompt and orderly closure. Future savings resulting from this
decision are conservatively estimated at $3,531 billion, based on the lower cost of the 2 reactor
alternatives.

• The Department of Justice collected a $25 million fine in an out-of-court settlement with
Exxon related to the Exxon Valdez oil spill. In preparation of its criminal case against Exxon,
the Department's use of GAO's cost figures, developed from extensive records analysis and
interviews with officials of the 1 federal agencies involved in spill-related activities, avoided
duplication of efforts and was essential to the Department's investigation.

In addition, 1 92 of the GAO recommendations adopted in fiscal year 1 992 resulted in significant,
nonmonetary accomplishments that led to substantive improvements in government operations.
Examples are as follows.

• The Department of Defense made several improvements to the 1993 base closure review
process, which will affect at least 15 bases, addressing problems with the Cost of Base
Realignment Action (COBRA) Model noted by GAO.

• The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adopted a GAO recommendation to revise medical
criteria in its disability rating schedule for which the last comprehensive update had
occurred in 1945.

• The Congress and Treasury made changes to the Tax-Exempt Bond Program to ensure that
housing projects financed with such bonds better serve lower income renters.

• The Congress made the Chief Executive Officer of the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) a
Presidential appointment and separated the RTC from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC).

• The Secretary of the Treasury simplified 5 federal tax deposit rules in line with GAO
recommendations that employers be required to make deposits at specific time intervals
and be advised in advance of the deposit dates.

• The U.S. Department of Education implemented 10 recommendations to enhance
management and strengthen support systems and services.

• The Congress authorized national early intervention and evaluation of tuition guarantee
programs to increase the access of low income and potential first generation college
students to postsecondary education. GAO had reported on the success of private
programs in these areas at increasing access of poor and minority youth to higher
education.

• The Congress took action to encourage states to enact motorcycle safety laws. GAO had
reported that helmet laws reduced fatalities by 20 to 40 percent and substantially reduced
costs of care for injured riders.

• The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) implemented a GAO recommendation to
conduct Medicare cost effectiveness reviews and to determine the extent to which
information resources management guidelines apply.

GAO's high-risk work and other reviews continue to be conducted in support of congressional concerns
