"Fraud” and^Wkste” on gov
ernment contracts have cost,
taxpayers rtmlions of dollars.
In a blistering repdrt| on his
audits of/some $1,165,000,000 (B)
worth of contracts, Warren sain
there were "improper payments in
excess of $6,280,000” that "were
induced by fraud.” , ,
Qf this. Ke added bnly about
$107,882 "bps been recovered” and
the outlook mr additional recovery
is alim. j 1 J '
He said the general accounting
office had recovered $474,717, but
that government agencies which
made the payments generally re
fused to attempt recoveries but
insist upon defending their actions.
1 Warren blamed most of the’
"waste and Ifraud” upon a "con
tract resettlement act of 1944”
passed by Cpngress which he said
allowed ^government agencies to
settle contracts in full before they
had been properly audited by the
general accounting office of any
ether outside agency.
The 1944 act, he said, "paved
the way for the improper payment
of many millions of dollars of
public funds through fraud, jcol-
lusion, ignorance, inadveftance, or
overliberality in effecting termina
tion settlements.”
Warren said the act limits his
office to actions where there is
evidence fraud adding this
"places the government in the un-
evertiable position of locking the
