GAO noted that DOE: (1) has met most of its targeted budget savings under the initiative and will save $221 million by amending its fiscal year (FY) 1996 budget request and selling excess assets; (2) plans to expand its savings to $1.7 billion by FY 1997; (3) is depending on process improvements and reengineering efforts to achieve its missions under a reduced budget; (4) is unlikely to reduce its costs to the maximum extent, since downsizing initiatives are premature; and (5) management needs to be accurate in validating cost savings, focus attention on implementing all planned actions, and consider additional opportunities for savings. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-197/html/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-197.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-197/pdf/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-197.pdf GAO/T-RCED-96-197 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-197 Testimony GAO/T-RCED-96-197; Department of Energy: Progress Made Under Its Strategic Alignment and Downsizing Initiative; Reengineering (management) Strategic planning Federal downsizing Information resources management Budget cuts Federal agency reorganization Future budget projections DOE Strategic Alignment and Downsizing Initiative DOE Automated Transportation Management System Internet DOE Explorer System
