From the Comptroller General
Gene Dodaro, Acting Comptroller General of the United States
|
Gene L. Dodaro became Acting Comptroller General of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office on March 13, 2008. Mr. Dodaro has testified before Congress dozens of times on important national
issues. Most recently he has testified on the American Reinvestment and Recovery
Act of 2009, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, federal assistance to the
auto industry, U.S. involvement in Iraq and Pakistan, the federal government’s
financial condition and fiscal outlook, and the need to modernize the U.S.
financial regulatory system. He has led efforts to fulfill GAO’s new
audit responsibilities in connection with the 2008 Economic Stabilization
Act to help stabilize financial markets and institutions, as well as the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – the stimulus legislation designed
to combat the economic downturn. Under Mr. Dodaro, GAO has also undertaken
initiatives such as a new transition web page and a new high-risk list to
help bring to the attention of the 111th Congress and the new administration
the major challenges GAO has identified across the federal government, from
improving food safety to rebuilding transportation infrastructure. |
