Summary:

This interim report updates the status of GAO's ongoing investigation of the White House travel office. GAO cautioned Congress earlier this year that its review was unlikely to be completed by the statutory deadline of September 30. GAO has encountered delays in negotiating access to key individuals and information. Because of balance-of-power concerns, the White House traditionally has been reluctant to open its operations to GAO review. Further limitations have been imposed by the ongoing Justice Department and FBI criminal investigations into allegations of misconduct. Finally, GAO is having to adhere carefully to Internal Revenue Service regulations that prohibit the release of information about taxpayers unless the taxpayer consents. GAO is making progress in establishing suitable procedures, however, and its access to records and individuals is beginning to accelerate.
