W LM1O746 B-164031(3) OCT 27 1976 ..........heonorable Delbert_ L. Latta House of Representatives Dear Mr. Latta: This is in response to your letter dated July 23, 1976, and discussions with your office about what we can do to bring about proper handling of welfare program .funds. There are inany Federal, federally assisted, and non- Federal programs which can be called welfare programs., These programs are directed to various needs, il€cluding food, shelter, clothing, education, health, and employment. Federal programs are administered by a large number of de- partments and agencies operating under an even larger number of legislative authorizations. The large number of such programs in itself contributes to the problems discussed in your letter. Much publicity ana interest in recent years have fo- cused on welfare programs authoriied under several titles of the Social Security Act. The unprecedented growth of these programs has caused many questions regarding their management. Program evaluation is a fundamental part of effective program administration, and the agencies carrying out the programs are primarily responsible for evaluating their ef- forts in achieving the goals or objectives of the prog-.ams. However, we are also responsible for evaluating programs of Federal agencies. GAO was created by the Budget and Accounting Act, 1921 (31 U.S.C. 41). The act broadened the Government's audit activities and established new responsibilities for report- ing to the Congress. The scope of our activities was ex- tended by the Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 65) and other legislation. HRD-76-178
