Federal Employment: The Results to Date of the Fiscal Year 1994 Buyouts
at Non-Defense Agencies (Testimony, 09/22/94, GAO/T-GGD-94-214).

The Federal Workforce Restructuring Act of 1994 authorized buyouts at
non-Defense Department agencies to help reduce the federal workforce by
more than a quarter million people by 1999. In analyzing the results to
date, GAO believes that most buyouts enabled agencies to meet their
fiscal year 1994 workforce reduction targets without resorting to
reductions in force. However, agencies were to accompany their workforce
reductions with comprehensive plans detailing the management reforms and
restructuring initiatives they intended to make to achieve the National
Performance Review's goals of reinventing government. To the extent that
the resubmitted plans may still not meet the administration's
expectations, agencies may be trying to meet their downsizing targets
without meaningful strategic or workforce planning.
