GAO’S ALOISE TO RETIRE IN SEPTEMBER

Longtime Government Accountability Office executive Gene Aloise will retire from the Congressional watchdog agency in early September to take a top position with the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, NW&M Monitor has learned. Aloise, who has been the director of Nuclear Security, Safety and Nonproliferation on GAO’s Natural Resources and Environment team since 2002, will serve as the deputy inspector general for the U.S. government’s Afghanistan recovery watchdog agency, which oversees billions of dollars in Afghanistan reconstruction contracts. A replacement for Aloise has not been named. A 38-year veteran of GAO, Aloise previously served as an assistant director for Nuclear Security, Safety and Nonproliferation from 1994 to 2002 and was an assistant director for Report and Testimony Quality Control from 1990 to 1994.
