1995 Defense Budget: Potential Reductions and Rescissions in RDT&E and
Procurement Programs (Briefing Report, 09/08/94, GAO/NSIAD-94-255BR).

GAO reviewed the Defense Department's fiscal year 1995 budget request
and prior years' appropriations for research, development, test, and
evaluation and procurement programs. GAO's review found that schedule
delays, changes in program requirements, and issues that have arisen
since the defense budget request was developed provide the opportunity
to trim the funding levels for fiscal year 1995 by about $2.3 billion as
well as for prior years' appropriations by about $1.3 billion. GAO also
identified amounts that Congress may want to restrict for obligation
until specified criteria are met. Of the totals, GAO identified nearly
$844 million in potential budget reductions to the military's research,
development, test, and evaluation budget request for fiscal year 1995.
GAO also found potential rescissions of about $115 million to prior
years' appropriations.
