200391222Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 2003. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 83 1 pages. Illustrations. This item includes the statements of Gregory Kutz Alan Lamoreaux Patrick McNamee and Paul Pastorek. This year the status of two agencies deteriorated. One of these agencies is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. For the last 5 consecutive years NASA had received unqualified or clean audit opinions on its financial statements. Similarly for the<br /> last 5 consecutive years NASA received a grade of A on the subcommittee's score card on Federal financial management. For fiscal year 2001 however NASA was unable to provide timely documentation to substantiate the accuracy and classification of its obligations expenses property plant and equipment and materials. These problems were so severe that NASA's new auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers was unable to provide an opinion on whether the amounts on the fiscal year 2001 financial statements were reasonable. The auditors also found that the agency had significant material weaknesses in its system of internal controls. For the first time since fiscal year 1997 auditors reported that NASA's systems were not in compliance with the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996. The GAO the General Accounting Office had questioned NASA's compliance with the act in two reports last year. In addition the General Accounting Office found that NASA could not provide detailed support for amounts obligated against the space station or the shuttle. In another report the General Accounting Office found that NASA could not provide support for amounts on its fiscal year 1999 statement of budgetary resources. In this same report the General Accounting Office questioned NASA's previous auditor Arthur Andersen's support for an unqualified opinion on this statement. The status of NASA's financial management has been consistently questioned by the General Accounting Office and others yet Arthur Andersen continued for years to give NASA a clean bill of health.<br /> Is NASA a Government Enron Did the Agency's financial management problems begin in fiscal year 2001 or were they always present In this hearing we will focus on what went wrong at NASA for fiscal year 2001 and what actions are being taken to resolve the financial management issues.

186276501Philadelphia: Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons 1862-1871. First editions. Octavo. Various paginations but all complete. Publisher’s printed green wrappers two issues have had their wrappers reattached a few instances of erosion to spine but never affecting integrity. Overall in very good condition.There were two main series of this publication. The first series began in 1845 under the title Pennsylvania Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy and in 1862 a second or “new†series was begun leaving off the Pennsylvania no doubt in hopes of national readership. It was a yearly publication. This two-series format continued until the journal ceased publication in 1920 after which it was succeeded by what is now known as The Prison Journal. The Pennsylvania Prison Society founded in Philadelphia in 1787 was the first private agency to concentrate specifically on correctional issues. The society's journal was one of the earliest periodicals devoted solely to studies of correction and crime. The articles run the gamut of subjects related to these fields from discussions of penal philosophy to inmate interviews and even down to the brass tacks of the costs involved in running a prison. . The journal not only provides information on prison conditions and the evolution of the American penal system particularly in Pennsylvania but also offers a detailed record of the penal reform movement in this country. They were remarkably foresighted. This can be seen in the following two quotes; "The readers of this Journal need not be told that we are not very sanguine in our expectations of the permanent reformation of the mass of convicts. There are doubtless instances enough of success in such efforts to warrant and encourage them and we are not to suppose that they are ever wholly useless. The true position for us to take is this. The earlier we address ourselves to the cultivation of right principles and habits in a human being the more hopeful is the prospect of success" and this little gem "May we not easily forget that between a score of men in our prison cells and twenty score of men that may be selected from society at large the only difference is that the former are detected rogues and the latter are perhaps greater rogues undetected" It was a bold movement away from prison as a punishing experience toward a kinder belief that prisoners must once again become useful members of society.
