Rationale of Expenditures for Purchase of Coffee Mugs, Post-it Notes, and Pens Imprinted with the GAO Logo

GAO was asked to justify its purchase of coffee mugs, post-it notes, and pens imprinted with the GAO logo, a statement of GAO's core values and information on how to contact GAO. GAO explained that the items were purchased in connection either with agency award or recruitment program activities, or the agency's promotion of its newly instituted core values.
