Recommendations
Matter for Congressional Consideration
| Matter | Status | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Because the services' bulk fuel budgets are still overstated by about $340 million ($440 million less the $100 million congressional reduction), Congress may want to rescind the $340 million and apply them to other unfunded emerging requirements. |
Closed – Not Implemented
|
The recommendation was applicable to fiscal year 1997. |
