Excerpt from Reforming Government: What Really Needs to Be Done?: Hearing Before the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, January 27, 1994
Yet we have gone hearing after hearing, year after year, and the inertia of government prevails. I think we must be tough. The sys tem must be changed and we must respond to these problems.

Only 30 percent of these systems come up to normally accepted business standards. Let me repeat that. Only 30 percent of these systems come up to normally accepted business standards.
The Internal Revenue Service has an estimated $120 billion owed to it. A lot of that is from businesses that are bankrupt or individual bankruptcies and not collectible, but there is bil lion in accounts receivable that are actually collectible right now if we just go after it. That is by their own estimate.
In the first 9 months of fiscal 1993, contractors returned bil lion to the Defense Department, saying they hadn't been sent a bill to begin with or were not owed the money. These were payments made where no bill was submitted.
