As the chief of the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO), U.S. Comptroller General David Walker has, in his own words, "a very tough job."

"The GAO is on the front line of government--where the action is," Walker told students during a visit to the LBJ School last fall. "It is involved in all aspects of government--national security, social security, the environment, strategic planning." He urged LBJ School students to "help lead the way to progress" by working in the public sector. "You can't put a price tag on it," he said.
