Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

The U.S. Railway Association is a nonprofit, mixed-owership government corporation which is free from certain standard government procedures. The financial records of the U.S. Railway Association's executive dining room do not adequately show the extent to which the dining room is self-supporting. Analysis of two contracts awarded by the Association showed that one would not have complied with Federal Procurement Regulations had they been applicable, while the other would have conformed to the regulations.
