GAO-01-332R 1 (2001-01-18)

handle is hein.gao/gaobaalrq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: £ A G A 0 Comptroller General .Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 January 18, 2001 The Honorable George V. Voinovich Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate Subject: Potential Questions to Elicit Nominees' Views on Agencies' Management Challenges Dear Senator Voinovich: This letter responds to your request for potential questions that Senate committees of jurisdiction could use to help determine the leadership and management experience and capabilities of individuals nominated to selected leadership positions in major executive branch agencies. These questions are based on the major management challenges and program risks as identified on our Transition Web site (www. rio. -v/transition) and discussed in detail in our recent Performance and Accountability and High Risk Series (htt p://www.2ao.ov/Das/2001/ asOl.html). Our suggested questions are also consistent with the list of broad management-related questions that we provided at your request in August. Enclosures I through XXII highlight the major management challenges and program risks, a list of potential questions, and a GAO contact for each agency. These questions are intended to contribute to the diverse array of resources available to Senators as they fulfill their constitutional responsibilities to advise and consent on presidential nominations. We suggest that these questions will be most useful to the Senate and the nominees if they serve as a basis for prompting discussion-both informal and formal. We do not suggest that they be added merely as another element to what is widely regarded as an overly burdensome confirmation process. The questions cover a wide range of management-related issues in different organizations within each agency. As a result, all questions will not be relevant to all nominees. Confirmation of Political Appointees: Eliciting Nominees' Views on Leadership and Management Issues (GAO/GGD-00-174, Aug. 11, 2000). GAO-01-332R Potential Questions for Nominees
