Government Contractors: Contracting Out Implications of Streamlining
Agency Operations (Testimony, 10/05/94, GAO/T-GGD-95-4).

To help the government work better and cost less, the Vice President's
National Performance Review has proposed greater competition in the
provision of public service. The Administration has also set an
objective of downsizing the federal workforce by more than 270,000
positions. One possible effect of this objective could be an increase in
the use of contractors to provide various services to the government.
This testimony discusses how agencies can go about making this decision
to ensure that the public receives the best possible service at the most
reasonable cost.
