B-197291 1 (1980-05-30)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabjts0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 0L~tR t COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATESJ577 WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 May 30, 1980 B-197291 The Honorable Jack Brooks Chairman,- Subcommittee on Legislation and National Security Committee on Government Operations 0 House of Representatives Dear Jack: e% You requested our v4er on H.R. 6686 the Congressional Reports Eaimination Acl of 1980. This atll consolidates the reporting reductions we sent you on March 4, 1980, and those in H.R. 6162, which is based on the proposal of the Office of Management and Budget (0MB). During the course of our analysis, we noticed that Section 102 of H.R. 6686 would repeal a reporting requirement for the Director of OMB and the Secretary of the Treasury to report annually on their efforts to implement Title II of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 (31 U.S.C. 1151). Specifically, the Act requires OMB and Treasury to develop plans for addressing the information needs identified and specified by the Comptroller General for committees and Members of Congress for fiscal, budgetary, and program-related infor- mation. It continues to be our view that the Congress should receive this information. Therefore, should this requirement indeed be repealed by Congress, we would be able to provide this information based on our assessment of the progress being made by OMB and Treasury in the annual report we submit in accordance with section 202(e) of the Act (31 U.S.C.1152(e)). With this understanding, we support the elimination proposed in Section 102. I continue to share your interest in reducing unnecessary paperwork in the Federal Government. We have provided your staff with the information we have on the various reports now covered by H.R. 6686. If we can be of any further assistance to you and your subcommittee on this important issue, please feel free to contact me or members of my staff. Sinct ours, Comptroller General of the United States c!ov4
