WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Ranking Member Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) will hold a hearing titled “Performance Management and Congressional Oversight: 380 Recommendations to Reduce Overlap and Duplication to Make Washington More Efficient” on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. in room 342 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.

This hearing will examine the Government Accountability Office’s report titled “2013 Annual Report to Congress: Actions Needed to Reduce Fragmentation, Overlap, and Duplication and Achieve Other Financial Benefits.” For each of the last three years, GAO has issued a report highlighting areas of fragmentation, overlap, and duplication throughout the federal government and has made recommendations to both Congress and the Executive Branch agencies to address these problems. In addition to GAO’s report, the hearing will also examine tools Congress and agencies can use to address fragmentation, overlap, and duplication, including implementation of the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010.
