         The Honorable Fred Thompson
         Chairman
         The Honorable Joseph I. Lieberman
         Ranking Minority Member
         Committee on Governmental Affairs
         United States Senate

         Subject: Observations on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's
                 Fiscal Year 1999 Performance Report and Fiscal Year 2001 Performance
                 Plan

         As you requested, we reviewed the 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act agencies'
         fiscal year 1999 performance reports and fiscal year 2001 performance plans required
         by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). In essence, under
         GPRA annual performance plans are to establish performance goals and measures
         covering a given fiscal year and provide the direct linkage between an agency's
         longer-term goals and day-to-day activities. Annual performance reports are to
         subsequently report on the degree to which those performance goals were met. This
         report contains two enclosures responding to your request concerning key program
         outcomes and major management challenges concerning the Department of Housing
         and Urban Development (HUD). Enclosure I provides our observations on HUD's
         fiscal year 1999 actual and fiscal year 2001 planned performance for the key
         outcomes that you identified as important mission areas for the Department. These
         key outcomes are increased home ownership; increased affordable, decent, and safe
         rental housing; improved community economic vitality and quality of life; and less
         fraud, waste, and error in HUD's programs. Enclosure II lists the major management
         challenges facing the Department that we and HUD's Inspector General identified;
         the Department's progress in resolving those challenges, as discussed in its fiscal year
         1999 performance report; and the applicable goals and measures in the Department's
         fiscal year 2001 performance plan.

         Results in Brief

         Although HUD did not attain all of the specific goals set in its fiscal year 1999 annual
         performance plan, it generally made progress toward them, according to its fiscal
