Analysis of the Grace Commission's Major Proposals for Cost Control

GAO and the Congressional Budget Office evaluated the proposals made by the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, known as the Grace Commission. The report focused on the survey's recommendations that would have a major impact on budgetary savings and did not cover all of the proposals. The analysis included estimates of the possible budget impact for fiscal years 1985-1989, the likely impact on the Federal programs involved, and the actions necessary to implement the proposals.
