Environmental Protection: Challenges in Defense Environmental Program
Management (Testimony, 03/24/95, GAO/T-NSIAD-95-121).

Managing the Defense Department's (DOD) environmental activities is a
huge job.  Since 1976, DOD has spent about $20 billion on environmental
programs--$15 billion of this in fiscal years 1991-94.  In its fiscal
year 1995 budget request, DOD estimates that another $25 billion will be
needed to fund its environmental activities through fiscal year 1999.
This testimony discusses (1) the overall status of DOD's environmental
program and (2) steps that need to be taken to bolster the success of
the program.
