Federal Downsizing: The President's Fiscal Year 1996 Budget and Its
Compliance with the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act of 1994
(Testimony, 03/30/95, GAO/T-GGD-95-105).

GAO's analysis of the President's fiscal year 1996 budget shows that
government agencies are well on their way to achieving the downsizing
goals mandated by the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act.  Although
payroll savings will no doubt accrue from these reductions, some of the
projected savings may be offset by costs associated with what agencies
do with the work previously done by separated employees.  To the extent
that work is shifted to other employees, contracted out, or transferred
to other agencies, downsizing's true savings to taxpayers may be
reduced.
