Abstract

Over the years, GAO has made many recommendations for changes in programs and administrative practices to achieve savings and to improve program effectiveness. Many of our recommendations have been adopted as part of the President's plan. We have provided your committee a report summarizing our comments on the individual program proposals in the President's plan. We previously provided information on the program reduction alternatives reported by the Congressional Budget Office (in our report OPP-81-01, February 17, 1981). In each cab, our comments cite the individual audit and evaluation reports which form the basis toy our views. All of this information has been provided the new Administration.
