Federal Program Evaluations: A Directory for the Congress; 1976 Congressional Sourcebook Series

Abstract

Title Vlll of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-344) amended the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970, and assigned to the Comptroller General certain responsibilities for helping the Congress obtain and use information. As part of its program for carrying out those responsibilities, the U.S: General Accounting Office (GAO) is publishing the 1976 Congressional Sourcebook - the first edition of a series of directories reflecting an inventory of program-related information. The inventory is comprised primarily of information collected from executive branch agencies, and constitutes the basis for the Sourcebook publications. The current series of the Congressional Sourcebook encompasses three separate volumes. Each volume is an indexed directory and guide, addressing a different area of program-related information: (1) Recurring Reports to the Congress - describes, nearly 800 reports required of 89 executive branch agencies by the Congress on a recurring basis. (2) Federal Program Evaluations - contains an inventory of approximately 1700 evaluation reports produced by and for 18 selected Federal agencies, including GA0 evaluation reports that relate to the programs of those agencies. (3) Federal Information Sources and Systems - describes approximately 1000 Federal sources and information systems maintained by 63 executive agencies; which contain fiscal, budgetary, and program-related data and information.
