Highlights

In response to a congressional request, GAO investigated a dispute between the Agency for International Development (AID) and the Maritime Administration (MARAD) concerning the latter's refusal to approve a charter to Israel of a foreign-built vessel to carry grain from the U.S. to Israel under the AID Cash Transfer Program. GAO held that, since MARAD had the legal authority to approve charters, GAO had no jurisdiction over the matter and could not render a determination.
