In fiscal years 1988 through 1990, the Congress provided funds to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in part to support the U.S./U.S.S.R. Joint Seismic Program administered by the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS). In 1990, questions surfaced about whether the level of funds being provided by DARPA for this program met the level intended by the Congress. As a result, the conference report on the defense authorization act for fiscal year 1991, House Report Number 101-923, directed us to determine whether funding for the Joint Seismic Program for fiscal years 1988 through 1990 was consistent with congressional intent. Beginning with fiscal year 1991, the Congress appropriated funds for the Joint Seismic Program through the Air Force, rather than through DARPA. Therefore, we also briefly examined the fiscal year 1991 program's funding.
