DOD's Reporting of Its Chemical and Biological Research Gao ID: NSIAD-90-102 August 2, 1990

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO assessed the completeness and accuracy of the Department of Defense's (DOD) reporting on its chemical warfare and biological defense research programs.

GAO found that: (1) project objectives and accomplishments for seven selected projects reported in congressional descriptive summaries were accurate and consistent with those reported in other documents; (2) the DOD annual report does not describe the overall goals of the chemical and biological defense research programs; and (3) the U.S. annual report to the United Nations on biological defense research includes little information from the military community on what it has published.
