PREFACE
TO assist In fulfilling its overslqht responsibilltles,
the Commrttee on GOveKnment Operations periodically complies
data reqardinq existrnq Government Corporations. The results
of its most recent study are belnq released to serve as a
reference document for our CongreSSlOnal colleaques, other
government entitles, the academrc community, and others.
This compilation, prepared for the committee by the U.S.
General Accountrnq Office, is an updated version of an
earlier unpublished study that GAO prepared for the committee
in 1985. It contains organizational, financial, and legal
profiles on 45 corporations authorized or established by the
Congress, including information about each Cotporatlon's
organization, budget, audit requirements, and financial
structure. The legal profiles summarize each corporation's
response to questions concerning 25 Federal laws related to
administrative, social, economic, and environmental subject
areas. The corporations were asked to comment on whether
they consider themselves subject to these laws or, if they
did not, whether these leqal requirements have been
administratively adopted.
The committee greatly appreciates the invaluable
assistance provided by GAO's Accounting and Flnanclal
Management Division in the preparation of this materral.
