GAO: Supporting Congress for the 21st Century

Abstract

Mr. Chairman I am also proud of GAO's accomplishments in supporting the Congress and helping improve the performance and accountability of government for the benefit of the American people. During fiscal year 1999; GAO made substantial contributions to help the Congress and the executive branch agencies improve government programs and services. It provided more than $20 billion in direct financial benefits, recommended over 600 actions that have led to improvements in government operations, and provided 229 testimonies requested by congressional committees. While many of GAO's contributions cannot be quantified in dollar terms, those that can be quantified show that GAO returned over $57 for every $1 appropriated to the agency in fiscal year 1999.
