FISCAL YEAR 2003 BUDGET REQUEST. U.S. General Accounting Office

Abstract

I am pleased to appear before the Subcommittee today as the Comptroller General of the United States and head of the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) to report on GAO's fiscal year 2001 performance and results, current challenges and future plans, and budget request for fiscal year 2003 to support the Congress and serve the American public. Fiscal year 2001 was characterized by a series of unprecedented challenges for the federal government. After a lengthy waiting period to decide the results of the presidential election, the year began with a new administration and a new policy agenda. Within a short time, the leadership of the Senate changed as well. Although the year began with the nation at peace and with modest economic growth, by year's end, the nation was at war and the economy was in recession. Fortunately, the war is going well and the economy seems to be improving.
