Over the years the Committee on Government Operations has taken an active interest in
improving the management of U.S. Government operations overseas, both in the quality of
services provided and in their cost effectiveness.
In an effort to avoid duplication and the unnecessary costs associated with it, the
Committee has encouraged agencies operating overseas to participate in shared
administrative support services. It has been disappointing, therefore, to continue to
learn of problems associated with these support services. I am convinced that the
potential for consolidating management services overseas remains. Unfortunately, however,
consolidating services, particularly in developing countries, continues to be troublesome.
Recently, I requested the General Accounting Office to conduct a study of
administrative support services overseas. A copy of the GAO report is enclosed. I would
be most interested in knowing of your experience with administrative support services
overseas and, in particular, having your comments on the the report. In view of your
agency's commitments overseas, I would appreciate receiving any specific suggestions you
may have as to haw the process of sharing administrative support services can be improved.
Your early reply would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, with every good wish to
you, I am
Enclosure
