Cited in the Committee's letters were numerous factors that had re- sulted in much controversy during the period leading up to and during the Conference itself. It was anticipated that a GAO study of the 1981 Conference would result in recommendations for preventing problems with future Conferences. On September 27, 1982, you requested an interim summary of information developed to date. We divided our inquiry into pre-Conference concerns, the 4-day Conference itself, and post-Conference period activities. We have talked with or attempted to talk with many persons from the organizations that played key roles with respect to the Conference. However, our work is incomplete and we are still in the data gathering stage because thus far: ---Several key.persons have declined to meet with us. --Several persons have declined to discuss certain issues or answ.er certain questions. --We have been unable to arrange f-ollowup meetings with several persons to obtain additional informa- tion, elaboration of information previously pro- vided, or resolve conflicting information. --Certain document-s and information obtained have not been authenticated or verified. Thus, we have not drawn conclusions, and we caution readers of the enclosed material to bear in mind the limitations of the material. Further, we have not yet provided persons or organi- zations from w1hom we obtained information an opportunity to review the context in whi.ch their information is presented in the enclosure. The perspectives and additional information they can add may well shed a different light on the matters discussed.
