Subject
Summary:

GAO was asked by the chairman of the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs to inquire into the alleged unauthorized disclosure of nonclassified Committee-sensitive information to determine if the chairman or a member of his staff compromised the identity of a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) employee after the employee reported to the committee allegations of wrongdoing by her employer, the NASA Office of Inspector General. The NASA employee refused to cooperate with the GAO investigation, limiting GAO in its ability to develop facts relating to the allegation. This limitation, in addition to unresolved conflicting testimony obtained during the investigation, made it difficult to reach a definitive conclusion. However, GAO's investigation found no credible evidence to support the allegation of the NASA employee regarding unauthorized disclosure of information.
