Selected Federal Accounts: Past Outlays and GAO Recommendations

Abstract

This report was prepared in response to a request from Chairman Gaylord Nelson, Senate Select Committee on Small Business. GAO looked at recent growth in the IO largest appropriation accounts in each of the 12 cabinet-level departments between fiscal years 1975 and 1978 to provide indicators of where the growth in Federal spending has been. Total waste and inefficiency cannot be quantified, but GAO has made many recommendations to improve government operations and reduce costs. This report summarizes information from many GAO reports, including some GAO recommendations on which adequate corrective action has not been taken.
