Myers Chairman, Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairnman: The )epartnient of Energy (DOE), like many federal agencies, faces an uncertain future. In DOE's case, budgetary constraints, a national consensus for a smaller and more effective government, and the end of the Cold War all feed this uncertainty. These pressures have resulted in efforts by the administration and the Congress to realign, shrink, or even dismantle DOE. At the request of your office, we analyzed DOE's fiscal year 1994 financial and workforce data to provide a baseline against which changes to the agency can be measured. Enclosure I arrays financial and workforce data by DOE's major programs. Detailed supporting and location-specific data will be provided to your office separately. We used data from DOE's central financial and workforce databases. We reported actual expenditures (rather than obligations) because these cost data provide the clearest picture of the level of program activity. We reported workforce data as full-time equivalents (FTE)--the number of hours worked divided by the number of compensable hours in a fiscal year--because it provides the clearest picture of the resources used. To test the reliability of DOE's central databases, we compared them to data from several field locations--the Savannah River and Oakland Operations Offices, the Savannah River Site, Lawrence Livermore National Ialborator.y, and Stanford Linear Accelerator Cente r. The data were generally consistent. lowever, we did not trace these data to supporting documents an(l individual transactions. We performeld our review from GAO/RCED-96-69R, Energy's Financial Resources and Workforce
