Subject
Summary:

Congressional committees need evaluative information to help them make decisions about the programs they oversee--information that tells them whether, and in what important respects, a program is working well or poorly. Concerned that the information it receives from administrative agencies is often insufficient, the Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources asked GAO to (1) identify the kinds of information that would be useful for oversight and reauthorization review of the types of programs under its jurisdiction; (2) examine the extent to which agencies collect and report such information; and (3) propose a strategy the Committee could use to improve its access to agency information.
