1992 Air Force Budget: Potential Reductions in Satellite Programs

Abstract

This report examined the Department of the Air Force fiscal year 1992 budget request and prior years' appropriations for selected command, control, and communications satellite programs. Our objectives were to identify potential reductions to the fiscal year 1992 budget request and potential rescissions to prior year appropriations. We briefed your staffs in May and July 1991 on the results of our work. Our review showed that schedule slippages, technical risks, and program changes have affected the programs' funding requirements for fiscal year 1992. As shown in table 1, we identified $297.9 million in potential reductions and rescissions for congressional consideration.
