The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is required to use the best available scientific info. when making decisions under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Controversy has surrounded whether former Deputy Assist. Sec. Julie MacDonald may have inappropriately influenced ESA decisions by basing decisions on political factors rather than scientific data. This report examines 3 issues: (1) what types of decisions, if any, were excluded from the Service¿s review of decisions that may have been inappropriately influenced; (2) to what extent the Service¿s May 2005 informal guidance affected 90-day petition findings; and (3) to what extent the Service has, before de-listing species, met recovery criteria.
