Paperwork Reduction Act: Opportunity to Strengthen Government's
Management of Information and Technology (Testimony, 05/19/94,
GAO/T-AIMD/GGD-94-126).

The Paperwork Reduction Act is a vital part of a legislation framework,
including the Chief Financial Officers Act and the Government
Performance and Results Act, designed to resolve basic management
problems undermining the effectiveness of many government programs.  The
legislation is intended to reduce the information collection burden
imposed on citizens by the federal government and to increase the
efficiency and effectiveness of federal programs through information
technology.  This testimony (1) focuses on implementation of the act,
particularly as it affects information resources management, and (2) the
proposed reauthorization compromise.
