Abstract	This report is one of a series by the General Accounting Office that summarizes major policy, management, and program issues facing agency heads in the Bush administration. Many concerns have been identified, some new, others long-standing. This report on the Department of Agriculture describes concerns about the following six issues: (1) improving the effectiveness and reducing the costs of farm programs; (2) reducing the cost of Farmers Home Administration loan programs; (3) finding long-term answers to reduce the dairy surplus; (4) strengthening the financial viability of the Federal Crop Insurance Program; (5) enhancing U.S. agricultural competitiveness; and (6) improving the delivery of food stamp benefits. The report also offers a wide range of observations and suggestions about how the Secretary of Agriculture can best address these concerns. (KC)
