Summary of and Observations on Economic and Financial Data of the Corps of Engineers (Civil Functions) Central and Southern Florida Project

As a result of a Congressional request, GAO prepared a summary of certain economic and financial data relating to the Central and Southern Florida Project of the Corps of Engineers (Civil Functions), Department of the Army. At a meeting with Mr. Sidney L. McFarland, Professional Staff Director of the Congressional Committee, it was agreed that, in view of the large volume of data which relate to the project and are readily available in Washington, D.C., principally in the form of congressional documents, GAO would prepare a summary of these data as they pertain to the primary matters of expressed interest to the Chairman of the Congressional Committee. The data have been set forth in such a way as to facilitate their use by the Chairman and the Chairman's Committee.
