     Subject: Budget Implications of Savings Reported in the
               Third Summary Report Issued by the President's
               Council on Integrity and Efficiency (GAO/AFMD-83-14)

     This report is in response to your August 17, 1982, requests
(encls. I and II) for a review of the President's Council on
Integrity and Efficiency's third Summary Report of Inspector
General Activities. The summary report covers the 6-month period
ending March 31, 1982, and was intended to highlight the signifi-
cant impact--measured in terms of savings, improved use of funds,
and increased effectiveness of Federal programs--which the Inspec-
tors General (IG's), the Council, and the administration have had
in combating fraud, waste, and mismanagement in Government. The
numerical data in this and the two earlier Council reports have
been widely publicized by the President and the news media. A
portion of the second report was also included in the Office of
Management and Budget's (OMB's) Major Themes and Additional Budget
Details, Fiscal Year 1983.

     The President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency was estab-
lished by Executive order in March 1981 to strengthen the IG pro-
gram and spearhead the administration's campaign to reduce fraud
and waste in Federal programs and operations. Council membership
consists of the statutory IG's; representatives of the Departments
of Defense (DOD), Justice, and the Treasury; the Federal Bureau of
Investigation; and the Office of Personnel Management. The Council
is chaired by the Deputy Director of the Office of Management
and Budget.

     In summary, we found that the Council's third report is an
improvement over its two previous reports. It provides clearer
definitions and more explanatory information on the statistics
contained in its data tables. However, better disclosure in
the areas of budgetary savings, preaward contract audit results,
