Report to Edmund L. Henshaw, Jr., House of Representatives:
Clerk of the House; by Robert F. Keller, Acting Comptroller
General.

Issue Area: Accounting and Financial Reporting (2800).
Contact: General Government Div.
Budget Function: General Government: Legislative Functions
    (801).
Congressional Relevance: House Committee on House
    Administration.
Authority: Legislative Branch Appropriation Act [ofl 1957, sec.
    105 (2 U.S.C. 123b). H. Res. 287 (95th Cong.).

         The House Recording Studio, operated under the
jurisdiction of the Clerk of the House of Representatives and
subject to the direction and control of the Committee on the
House Recording Studio, makes film and audio tape and video tape
recordings for Members and committees of the House of
Representatives. Studio operations are financed from a revolving
fund and from funds appropriated to the Clerk of the House. All
moneys received from operations are deposited into the revolving
fund and are available for the Studio's operation. Employee
salaries and benefits and certain other operating expenses are
paid from appropriated funds. These expenses are not recorded in
the Studio's accounting records or included in the results of
Studio operations. Before the 95th Congress, expenses for
recording studio services were not covered by any of the
allowances provided Members. Findings/Conclusions: A
comparative statement of the revolving fund operations for
fiscal year ended March 31, 1977, and the 9 months ended March
31, 1976, showed that revenues exceeded costs by S2,154 for
fiscal year 1977, compared with $36,393 for the 9 month period.
The lower Studio earnings during the later period can be
primarily attributed to a sharp decline in average monthly sales
and higher operating costs. The higher operating cost rate
primarily resulted from increased depreciation charges due to
the change in the accounting procedures and the additional
expense pertaining to recent equipment acquisition. (SC)
