Amtrak: Information on Amtrak's Operating Expenses

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the National Railroad Passenger Corporation's (Amtrak) operating expenses, focusing on: (1) how Amtrak allocates its federal funds for various spending requirements; (2) Amtrak provisions for future financial liabilities; (3) Amtrak travel and related expenses for its Board of Directors and executive staff offices in fiscal years (FY) 1988 through 1992; and (4) how much Amtrak spent on such potentially discretionary administrative expenses as dues and memberships, professional fees, and seminars in FY 1988 through 1992.
