Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR): The Year of Transition Enters the Fourth Quarter
Abstract
I am pleased to submit to the Congress, Secretary Rice, Secretary Rumsfeld, and the American people, the 11th Quarterly Report from the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR). SIGIR's mission, in simple terms, is to account for U.S. taxpayer funds invested in the reconstruction of Iraq. As this Report indicates, that accounting reveals a mixed story, with many successful projects completed while others fall short. This story underscores the importance of ensuring that the next phase of Iraq reconstruction stays on track. SIGIR remains committed to doing its part toward achieving that goal. Of significant note, the Department of State continues to provide exemplary support for the reconstruction mission and SIGIR's oversight of it. The Iraq relief and reconstruction program has entered the fourth quarter in this Year of Transition. Section 1 of the Report contains SIGIR's observations about this development, emphasizing several urgent matters that require action. Section 2 of this Report provides SIGIR's sector-by-sector analyses of reconstruction; Section 3 summarizes SIGIR's audits, inspections, and investigations; and Section 4 provides reporting on other agencies oversight activity.
