1998 DOD Budget: DOD's Procurement and RDT&E Programs
Highlights
GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) fiscal year (FY) 1998 budget request and prior years' appropriations for selected procurement and research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) programs, focusing on potential reductions in the FY 1998 budget request and potential rescissions to prior years' appropriations. GAO noted that this report summarizes and updates information it provided from April through June 1997, but does not reflect any adjustments that may have been taken by the Committees on Authorization and Appropriations during their reviews off the FY 1998 defense budget request. GAO has not acknowledged these Committees' actions because, in some cases, House and Senate actions have varied and conference actions are still pending.
