Fiscal Year 1995 Budget Estimates for the General Accounting Office
(Testimony, 02/04/94, GAO/T-OCG-94-2).

GAO is now in the midst of some of the most significant changes in
agency operations in decades.  Against a backdrop of budget reductions,
GAO has cut its workforce by more than 10 percent and expects to reach a
staffing level of 4,500 positions by fiscal year 1996.  GAO is also in
the process of closing or consolidating several field offices.  Even so,
GAO's productivity remains high. In fiscal year 1993, GAO issued about
1,000 reports and testified nearly 200 times before various
congressional committees.  GAO's work, which touched on everything from
military base closures to health care reform to the effects of NAFTA,
yielded more than $14.5 billion in measurable financial benefits to
taxpayers last year.
