Charles A. Bowsher, Comptroller General of the US General Accounting Office (GAO) was the principal witness at a DOE performance review of the nation's second largest civilian procurement agency, the Department of Energy. The GAO investigation revealed an unacceptable level of waste and poor management and a lack of audit control over the nearly $9 billion annual budget to outside contractors. Particular attention focused on the management of the strategic petroleum reserve. Mr. Bowsher elaborated on details of the GAO report and responded to questions. His testimony and other materials submitted for the record make up the hearing record. (DCK)
