Title I of the act made funds available to provide, among otherthings, essential and productive jobs. GAO analyzed available data on projects that were award- ed these funds in six geographical areas throughout the United States. This report discusses a seven-county area in northeast Texas. GAO found that about $830,000,or nearly 25 percent of $3.4 million awarded to projects identified in northeast Texas, had been spent by March 31, 1984--about 1 year after passage of the act. Of an estimated 159 people who were employed, at least 102 had been previously unem- ployed.
