The way ahead
After receiving direction to establish a permanent technology
assessment function, GAO drafted an operational concept memorandum for
conducting technology assessments in 2008. GAO is currently reviewing
and optimizing its technology assessment procedures and methodologies.
Production of technology assessments is likely to remain constant at up
to two reports per year, due to current demand and staffing
restrictions. Communication with potential congressional requestors is
continuing and follows established GAO protocols for interacting with
Congress.
