GAO presented its Administration of Justice issue area plan for fiscal years 1995 through 1997.

GAO plans to: (1) assess federal progress in implementing major crime control initiatives and enforcement programs; (2) identify ways to improve federal cooperation with state/local enforcement efforts; (3) develop approaches for analyzing enforcement budgets and identify opportunities for resource consolidation and cost savings; (4) periodically report judiciary initiatives to Congress; (5) identify and track the Bureau of Prisons' efforts to reduce prison construction and operation costs; (6) ensure that prison construction standards are implemented; (7) ensure that the Immigration and Naturalization Service is addressing management weaknesses and improving its enforcement efforts against illegal and criminal aliens; (8) assess the effectiveness of Customs' reorganization and cargo and trade enforcement efforts; and (9) determine if Customs is maximizing its opportunities to reduce costs and generate revenue.
