For fiscal year 1995, the Coast Guard is asking for a total of $3.8 billion, including $2.6 billion for the operating expense account. This testimony examines the status of the Coast Guard's actions to improve its budget process and provides GAO's observations on those changes. GAO discusses the Coast Guard's efforts to establish a better defined research and development program and improvements in its management of acquisitions. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-94-140/html/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-94-140.htm GAO/T-RCED-94-140 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-94-140 Testimony GAO/T-RCED-94-140; Coast Guard: Issues Related to the Fiscal Year 1995 Budget Request; Appropriation accounts Mission budgeting Research and development Federal agency accounting systems Future budget projections Congressional/executive relations Data integrity Cost accounting standards compliance Cost-based budgeting Presidential budgets Coast Guard Marine Environmental Protection Program Coast Guard Defense Readiness Program Coast Guard Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements Program Coast Guard Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Program
