GAO-03-627R 1 (2003-04-08)

handle is hein.gao/gaobaameg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I Accountability * Integrity * Reliability United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 April 8, 2003 The Honorable John Warner Chairman The Honorable Carl Levin Ranking Minority Member Committee on Armed Services United States Senate The Honorable Duncan Hunter Chairman The Honorable Ike Skelton Ranking Minority Member Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives Subject: FY 2003 Annual Report on the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program Under section 1308 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (P.L. 106-398), the Department of Defense is to submit an annual report to Congress on its Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program no later than the first Monday in February of each year. The Department of Defense, however, submitted its CTR annual report for fiscal year 2003 to Congress on January 8, 2003, more than 11 months after the submission date mandated by law. The legislation also requires the Comptroller General to provide Congress with an assessment of the report's multiyear plan setting forth the amount and purpose of funding to be provided over the 5-year term of the plan and describing the department's efforts to ensure that CTR assistance is accounted for and used as intended. As agreed with your staff, we reviewed the fiscal year 2003 annual CTR report and compared it with our assessment of the 2002 annual report. As with the 2002 report, we analyzed the 2003 report to determine whether it (1) provides a 5-year plan that sets forth the funding requirements for the program and includes key federal strategic planning elements and (2) describes the methods used to determine whether the assistance provided is used for the purposes intended. We also reviewed the 2003 report to determine if it addresses past open GAO recommendations. We did not assess the validity of the data contained in the 2003 annual CTR report because most of the information contained in the report was outdated due to its late submission to Congress. In reviewing the CTR annual report submitted for fiscal year 2002, we found that it (1) did not clearly set forth the amount of CTR funding to be provided over the 5-year GAO-03-627R FY 2003 Annual Report on the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program
