Havens Assistant Comptroller General of the United States before the Task Force on Entitlements, Uncontrollables and Indexation of the Committee on the Budget U.S. House of Representatives 114659 on 5L-1ernatives for Modifying the Indexation of Federal Program~l Mr. Chairman and Members of the Task Force: We appreciate the opportunity to appear before you to dis- cuss our report on indexing and entitlement programs. As the Comptroller General testified last week, we believe that some means of limiting the present indexing system is ab- solutely essential. This view is based on the following consid- erations: 1. Explicitly indexed programs now account for about 30% of the budget. To exclude from consideration the issue of indexation would unnecessarily limit the options available to the Congress as it seeks ways to act now to constrain the budget. cc) \. 1 (, 5 2
