Title: Oversight of Department of Energy research and development facilities. Hearing before the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Investigations of the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, Ninety-Seventh Congress, Second Session, July 27, 1982

Abstract

The management and administration of DOE research and development facilities continued a series of hearings on fraud, waste and abuse, and mismanagement of federal programs rather than a review of their scientific value. The oversight focused on the national labs. and energy technology centers. Charles Bowsher, Comptroller General of the General Accounting Office (GAO), and his staff reported their findings at the Sandia, Hanford, Argonne, Brookhaven, Oak Ridge, Fermi, Bartlesville, Laramie, Morgantown, and Pittsburgh facilities which, together, received a budget of $3 billion in 1981. The review uncovered a range of problems in procurement, hiring practices, payments for services, and use of former employees as consultants, as well as inventory procedures and controls. The hearing record includes the testimony of seven witnesses from GAO and DOE, exhibit presented by witnesses, and additional statements and reports submitted for the record. (DCK)
