Summary: Testimony was given on a $5,674,000 supplemental appropriation which GAO requested for fiscal year (FY) 1985 to defray the cost of paying for a 3.5-percent civilian employee cost-of-living adjustment that became effective on January 6, 1985. However, since GAO has decided not to renew its contract for the further development and installation of a consolidated administrative management information system, it will be able to use these funds to absorb all of the funds required to meet the supplemental request for civilian pay costs. In addition, GAO testified on a supplemental FY 1985 appropriation request of $1,121,000 to fund personnel to administer the Competition in Contracting Act. However, due to the cancellation of the management information system contract, $126,000 of these program funds will be available for this supplemental request. Therefore, the GAO request has been revised to $995,000. Finally, no funds have been requested to cover the settlement of a case because of the uncertainty over the amount of funding that will be needed.
