handle is hein.gao/gaobacktc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: N )O United States (3 O General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 General Government Division B-259901 February 17, 1995 The Honorable Ronald H. Brown The Secretary of Commerce Dear Mr. Secretary: As you have testified,' the administration is planning to expand the role of the Economic Development Administration (EDA)--the Department of Commerce agency responsible for generating jobs in economically distressed areas--in the nation's economic development efforts. Our work with EDA was part of our broader review of management issues at the Department, which we initiated with your agreement. Our objectives were to (1) examine EDA's major management systems and processes to identify areas of concern to EDA officials and stakeholders and (2) explore with EDA officials the changes, if any, that could be implemented to improve these systems and processes. We did not review whether the administration's plan for expanding EDA's role is appropriate. Instead, we focused on identifying ways EDA could strengthen its agencywide management so'that EDA could be effective regardless of changes in its responsibilities. We did not do a detailed review of EDA's systems and processes because EDA agreed with our initial assessment and the Assistant Secretary for Economic Development intends to address the issues discussed in this letter.
