Department of Energy: Funding and Workforce Reduced, but Spending Remains Stable

GAO provided information on changes in the Department of Energy's (DOE) funding, spending (costs), federal workforce, and contractor workforce between fiscal years (FY) 1994 and 1996. GAO did not verify the accuracy of the financial data or data on the workforces; however, GAO shared its results with DOE officials to obtain their agreement that the data accurately reflected DOE's actual spending and the size of its workforces.
