BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL




Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Congressional Control Over

Appropriations To The Corps Of

Engineers Can Be Strengthened



During a recent 21-month period, the Corps
of Engineers supplemented its general expense
appropriation by about $76.7 million that
was appropriated for construction projects
and related functions. The subsidization re-
sulted in authorized project amounts being
reduced thereby weakening congressional con-
trol over the Corps' appropriations. The
Corps' method of financing did not provide
an equitable method of distributing adminis-
trative costs to projects.

The Congress should require the Corps to
fund its centralized  functions, whenever
possible, through the general expense
appropriation. This will provide full
disclosure and control of the costs. The
Corps should improve its cost accounting
methods.
