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)
