Semiannual Report

I am pleased to submit this semiannual report on the accomplishments of the OIG for the six-month period ending March 31, 2002. It is a privilege to serve as the Acting Inspector General at TVA during this time. Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we expanded our efforts to ensure the security and safety programs TVA has in place are adequate. We also have continued our efforts to achieve our strategic objectives. Those objectives include focusing on high risk areas, leveraging resources to optimize productivity and results, enhancing communications with stakeholders, and delivering services that meet stakeholder needs. I appreciate the support I have received as Acting Inspector General from OIG employees, the TVA Board, and our other stakeholders. The OIG’s efforts during this reporting period have been well received and have con- tributed in many ways toward helping TVA achieve its goals. I look forward to further serving Congress, TVA, and our other stakeholders. Sincerely, G. Donald Hickman
