The Honorable Carl Levin
Ranking Minority Member
Subcommittee on Oversight of Government
  Management and the District of Columbia
Committee on Governmental Affairs
United States Senate

Dear Senator Levin:

On March 8, 1996, we testified before the Subcommittee on Oversight of
Government Management and the District of Columbia, Senate Committee on
Governmental Affairs, regarding governmentwide travel management.' At that time,
you asked us to provide a list of the 25 agencies who, in response to our survey of
civilian agency temporary duty (TDY) travel practices, reported that they had
recently revised their travel processes. In addition, you asked us to separate these
25 agencies into two lists-those who reported that they had analyzed their TDY
travel processes for systems supporting travel operations and those who said they
had not. This letter responds to your request.

The information presented below resulted from our survey of 70 executive branch
civilian agencies (who represented 92 percent of total travel obligations for
executive branch agencies for fiscal year 1994). We received responses from 64 of
these agencies (a 91-percent response rate). We did not independently validate the
agencies' responses. However, we reviewed all questionnaires and contacted
agency personnel when additional information or clarification was necessary.

To compile the information that you requested, we cross-referenced the reported
responses from two survey questions. The first question asked whether the agency
had recently revised its TDY travel process. The second question asked whether
the agency had analyzed the TDY travel process for any of the systems (automated
and manual) that were used to support travel operations in fiscal year 1995.

Streamlining and Improving Their Travel Practices (GAO/T-AIMD-96-60,
