[Request for Review of Hostile Fire Incidents Involving MTT Personnel in El Salvador]

Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

Pursuant to a congressional request, issues were addressed pertaining to the applicability of certain reporting requirements to certain violent incidents in El Salvador. It was determined that none of the incidents in question were subject to reporting requirements under the Arms Export Control Act or the War Powers Resolution.
