The GAO Review Winter 1968

Abstract

Federal expenditures are now running at the rate of more than $150 billion a year. This figure is about twice what it was 10 years ago. I think we all can expect the increase to continue. The General Accounting Office, which I head, plays a crucial role in the ever-present job of protecting this ever-increasing number of taxpayers dollars. I therefore welcome this opportunity to tell you, briefly, who we are, how we carry out our job, and what we see in the future.
