I will briefly summarize our four principal findings before providing more detail. - First, during fiscal 1997 and 1998, the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, and Defense spent more than $121 million for research and investigation into Gulf veterans illnesses. The Defense Department spent $112 million of this total, mostly through its Office of the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illnesses. - Second, results of the research and investigation activities are accruing slowly and basic questions about the causes, course of development, and treatments of Gulf War veterans illnesses remain unanswered. - Third, the activities of the Office of the Special Assistant are not effectively coordinated with those of the Research Working Group. - Finally, work was improperly awarded to the Office s support contractors for tasks worth more than $20 million.
