Defense Acquisitions: DOD's Research and Development Budget Requests to Congress Do Not Provide Consistent, Complete, and Clear Information
The Department of Defense (DOD) asked Congress for $73.2 billion
in fiscal year 2007 for research, development, testing, and
evaluation (RDT&E). DOD organized this request using program
element (PE) codes, which are designed to convey key information
about the budget request. DOD also provides documents called
budget exhibits detailing the activities for which funds are
being requested. The National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2006 mandated that GAO examine the program elements
and budget exhibits. GAO assessed (1) whether the RDT&E program
element code structure and the associated budget exhibits provide
accurate, consistent, complete, and clear information, and (2)
what factors contribute to any problems found. In conducting this
review GAO analyzed all of the fiscal year 2007 program element
codes and 47 budget exhibits. GAO also interviewed key DOD
officials.
