handle is hein.gao/gaobabccz0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE U,S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Mayor Of The District Of Columbia Some Restructuring Needed In District's Contracting Program To Serve Minority Businesses The District's program has placed too much stress on meeting minority contracting dollar goals and not enough on developing business capability. Other problems included a weak process for certifying minority firm eligibility and differences among District officials over how to run the program. As a result: --Over half of the dollars from contracts GAO reviewed have gone to a handful of firms in least need of help. --Several firms received about $5 million in contracts as conduits and relied on nonminority firms to perform the actual work. --The majority of the recipients GAO in- terviewed reported little or no business development, increased employment, or expansion of the tax base. A series of recommendations are presented for District action. \jV D $742 U GG0-81-68 tff)l- 1 41 JUNE 24,1981 /) / '-IC(-tl
