Other written product issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "There is widespread agreement that the federal government faces a range of challenges in the 21st century that it must confront to enhance performance, ensure accountability, and position the nation for the future. Federal agencies will need the most effective human capital systems to address these challenges and succeed in their transformation efforts during a period of likely sustained budget constraints. More progress in addressing human capital challenges was made in the last 3 years than in the last 20, and significant changes in how the federal workforce is managed are underway. On April 14, 2004, GAO and the National Commission on the Public Service Implementation Initiative hosted a forum with selected executive branch officials, key stakeholders, and other experts to help advance the discussion concerning how governmentwide human capital reform should proceed."

Correspondence issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) required the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to change the payment rates for chemotherapy-related drugs and chemotherapy administration services. These changes followed reports that Medicare payments for chemotherapy-related drugs were much higher than physicians' costs to acquire them, and oncologists' assertions that drug overpayments were needed to compensate for inadequate payments for chemotherapy administration services. In addition, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made changes in billing rules for chemotherapy administration services. However, oncologists have been concerned that even with these changes, Medicare payments may not cover the costs of providing chemotherapy services in 2005. To respond to a Congressional request that we review the adequacy of Medicare payments for chemotherapy-related drugs and chemotherapy administration services in 2004 and 2005, we assessed the changes in these payments and compared the payments to the estimated costs of providing these services."

How long does a PV system have to operate to recover the energy--and the associated generation of pollution and CO{sub 2}--that went into making the system? Energy paybacks for rooftop systems range from 1 to 4 years, depending on the system. Based on models and real data, the idea that PV cannot pay back its energy investment is simply a myth.
