handle is hein.gao/gaobabdvx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Inconsistencies In Administration Of The Criminal Justice Act GAO's review in 10 Federal district courts showed that the Criminal Justice Act was being administered differently among and within the courts. The differences related to the courts' procedures for (1) selecting private court-appointed attorneys, (2) determining when defendants should be ordered to re- imburse the Government for legal costs incurred, and (3) controlling and accounting for funds provided under the act. To improve the implementation of the act, the Judicial Conference of the United States, the policy- making body of the judiciary, needs to provide better guidance and establish appropriate procedures and policies for district courts to follow. Also, the Judicial Conference has proposed that it be given the authority to increase court-appointed attorney compensation rates. Because of the impact increases may have on the judiciary's budget, GAO believes they should be subject to congressional review before being increased. \rjE,' D StIt,, , 7.
