Comments on a Draft of Proposed Legislation Replacing the Authorized Revolving Fund By Authorizing a Civil Service Commission Revolving Fund for Financing Training and Other Functions

This decision concerns GAO's comments on proposed legislation that would replace the presently authorized revolving fund of $4,000,000, by authorizing a Civil Service Commission revolving fund for financing, in addition to investigations as at present, training and such other functions as are authorized or required to be performed by the Commission on a reimbursable basis, and such other services as the Commission determines may be performed more advantageously through the fund. According to the Commission's statement of purpose and justification accompanying the draft bill, the Commission proposes to use the revolving fund for financing all reimbursable activities, as well as its in-house automatic data processing and printing services activities. It is the Commission's view that the use of the revolving fund for financing these activities will facilitate improvements in program administration and financial management.
