Analysis of Energy Reorganization Savings Estimates and Plans

Pursuant to several congressional requests, GAO reviewed aspects of the administration's proposed reorganization of the Department of Energy (DOE). Specifically, GAO reviewed: (1) the extent to which the administration's fiscal year 1983 budget proposal recognized reorganization costs and savings; (2) the adequacy of documentation in support of the administration's cost savings estimates and its plans for implementing the reorganization; and (3) potential expenses that could result from the proposed reorganization.
