In addition, we reported that for many programs, staffing reductions and personnel changes had adversely affected program management. During consideration of a supplemental fiscal year 1982 appropriation request for DOE, the Congress expressed its con- cern over personnel reductions and their resulting effects on 1Loss of Experienced Staff Affects Conservation and Renewable Energy Programs (GAO/EMD-82-100, July 19, 1982).
