handle is hein.gao/gaobacjzv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United States G AOL( General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Information Management and _______ Et r D Technology Division I \LLt-LY RESTRICTED--Not to be released outside the General Accounting Office unless specifically B-247707 approved by the Office of Congressional Relations. February 28, 1992 The Honorable Edward R. Roybal Chairman, Subcommittee on / Treasury, Postal Service, General Government Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: 146337 In response to House Report 102-109 and subsequent discussions with your office, this letter addresses the two following questions regarding FTS 2000. Within the context of the ongoing FTS 2000 contracts, should the requirement for mandatory use of FTS 2000, which has been included yearly in the House appropriations bill for Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government since fiscal year 1989, be continued for fiscal year 1993? Should the proposed modification to the mandatory use policy, which would make mandatory use contingent upon the General Services Administration's (GSA) reporting that FTS 2000 is satisfying the government's telecommunications requirements in the most cost-effective manner, be made? Our review focused on the issue of mandatory use, within the context of the ongoing FTS 2000 contracts. We did not have sufficient time or data to evaluate the effect of the mandatory use policy on prices or the provision of services under the FTS 2000 contracts. Our work included reviewing prior reports, testimonies, and corresponding supporting workpapers on FTS 2000 and mandatory use. In addition, we interviewed officials from and reviewed documentation supplied by GSA, the Office of Management and Budget, American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) Company, US Sprint Communications Company, MCI Communications Corporation, and Metromedia Communications Corporation.
