Public Relations Personnel Costs in 20 Federal Agencies and Various Other Costs

Much of the data requested on the costs associated with various specific Federal programs is not available in any centralized form. GAO investigated the following areas: the number of Federal employees in public affairs and congressional relations in the 20 largest Government agencies; the amount spent for recruitment by the military; Government audiovisual costs; the development and printing costs of the Agricultural Yearbook bicentennial issue and the farmers' bulletin cost; the cost of the Department of Agriculture's Food Stamp Outreach program for fiscal year 1976; and advertising costs in the Federal Government.
