Dr. Coburn Sends Letter to Gene Dodaro, Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office, Regarding Future GAO Duplication Reports

Today, Dr. Coburn sent a letter to the Comptroller General of the GAO, Gene Dodaro, regarding future installments of the annual GAO report on duplication and overlap in government programs. The letter provides suggestions to GAO for ongoing compliance with the duplication report mandate in future years, including the need for an updated database of all federal programmatic overlap, the cost of such duplication, and specific recommendations to Congress for how it can begin to untangle the web of government-wide duplication. In Spring 2013, GAO will release their third annual report detailing hundreds of duplicative government efforts throughout the federal bureaucracy.
