(iii) the Office of Management and Budget
estimates that erroneous payments for food
stamps account for almost 9 percent of total

(iv) mismanagement of more than $3 bil-
lion in trust funds controlled by the Bureau of

the Inspector General of the Office of Personnel
Management has documented numerous in-
stances of the Government continuing to make
