Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On

Oversight And Investigations

Committee On Energy And Commerce

House Of Representatives





Procedures Need Strengthening In The

U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation's

Conflict Of Interest Program


GAO reviewed the appropriateness of the U.S. Synthetic
Fuels' Corprations criteria for identifying confidential
infor rition and, by using one case study, the consistency
by which these criteria have been applied. Also, GAO
reviewed the Corporation's program to assist its directors,
officers, and employees in avoiding conflicts of interest.

GAO found that the Corporation's criteria for identifying
confidential informatlion are consistent with the purposes
of th Freedom of Information Act in protecting certain
inforration from public release and that the Corporation,
for lhe most part, consistently applied its criteria for
,identifying confidential information on the First Colony
project.

GAO did, however, identify weaknesses in the Cor-
poritior's conflict of interest program, including key
employees and contractors not filing reports of their
fininr:ial interests, insufficient monitoring of officers' and
emplyees' financial interests, and conflict of interest
determinations being inconsistently made or inadequately
documented in the Corporation files. GAO makes
I1r I ,n tioris to correct these weaknesses.
