GGD-93-143 1 (1993-09-30)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabsvb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller Gene Of the United States WWaga, D.C. 20548 B-255 157 September 30, 1993 150013 To the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives This is an interim report on the General Accounting Office (GAO) review of the White House travel office being conducted pursuant to Public Law 103-50. During May 1993, White House and other officials took a number of actions that led to the announcement of the dismissal of the seven White House employees who had for some years operated the White House Travel Office. Those actions and others involving the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) raised concerns in the Congress about the propriety of the dismissals and related activities of the agencies involved. Although the White House initiated an internal management review of the situation, the Congress provided for an independent review by GAO. Specifically, Section 805 of Public Law 103-50 provides that: Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Comptroller General of the United States shall conduct a review of the action taken with respect to the White House travel office and shall submit the findings from such review to the Congress by no later than September 30, 1993. In response to this statutory mandate, we initiated a review of the White House Travel Office matter. To ensure that we included in our review the full range of congressional concerns about the episode, we consulted with congressional staff representing each of the committees and Members of Congress, both majority and minority, who had expressed an interest to us in the White House Travel Office. From the outset of our work, we said that it was unlikely that a comprehensive review of the issues involved could be completed before the September 30 reporting date contained in the statute. We agreed that we would inform the Congress by that date of the scope and progress of our review. That is the purpose of this report. GAO/GGD-93-143 White House Travel Office 0 9 #E /15 13
