Office of the Inspector General, Semiannual Report to the Congress, October 1, 1996 - March 31, 1997.

Abstract

This report contains a brief synopsis of some of the many and diverse subjects the Office of the Inspector General reviews, audits or investigates in a 6-month timeframe. We hope that this new format enables the reader to focus on what we see as a few of the key issues - or risks - the Department faces in managing the billions of dollars of taxpayer money it spends to equip, train and deploy America's armed forces. In this report, we focus on: (1) Financial Management, (2) Information Management and Technology, (3) The Defense infrastructure, (4) The Challenges of Acquisition Reform, (5) Improving Business Practices, (6) Reducing Weapon Systems Costs, and (7) Health Care Fraud. In addition, we continue to work on high profile issues, including: (a) Attempting to locate missing Gulf War logs, (b) Reviewing DoD and military personnel assigned to Capitol Hill, (c) The Cuban shootdown of two unarmed civilian aircraft in international waters, (d) The School of the Americas, (e) Base closure costs and savings, and (f) Munitions scrap disposal safety.
