IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE FLEXIBILITY ORIGINALLY PROVIDED TO THE U.S. RAILWAY ASSOCIATION STILL NEEDED?

This report describes the administrative policies and practices of the United States Railway Association and compares USRA's policies and practices with those of other similar corporations established under Federal law. GAO has recommended strengthened internal controls over administrative expenses and asks that Congress reconsider the enabling legislation to decide whether the flexibility originally granted is still required.
