 BY THE US GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE


 Report To The Chairman, Committee

 On Government Operations,

 House Of Representatives



                                                 RELEASED

Financial Information Lacking On

Government Telecommunications

Services And Equipment



Citing a lack of specific figures on the total
amount of financial information for the
government's acquisition and useof telecom-
munications services and equipment, the
House Committee on Government Operations
sent a questionnaire to 41 departments and
agencies. GAO's review of the responses
found that the information obtained was
inaccurate, incomplete, and did not main-
tain known or expected relationships be-
tween payments, expenditures, and costs.

However, based on information obtained
from other government sources, GAO esti-
mated that the government's total expend-
itures for telecommunications services and
equipment exceeded $10 billion for fiscal
year 1981. But this information, as well as
the information provided in response to the
Committee's questionnaire, is inconclusive
and not reliable because it does not contain
complete cost data for all types of services
and equipment included in the report.
