MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE:

     As requested, this statement is being provided  to assist the

subcommittee in its review of the operations of the Federal Crop

Insurance Corporation  (FCIC). It provides  information on our

past and present reviews of FCIC and its implementation of  the

Federal Crop Insurance Act of 1980  (Public Law 96-365). Over  the

past couple of years, we have issued several reports on various

aspects of the crop insurance program, the U.S. Department of

Agriculture's (USDA) primary disaster assistance program offered

our Nation's farmers.

     This statement briefly discusses the information contained

in our reports.  It also discusses in more detail the preliminary

results of our ongoing review of FCIC's expanded crop  insurance

program.  We are analyzing these results and formulating proposed

recommendations for improvement.  We have not yet obtained FCIC's

comments on our tentative findings or suggestions for improvement

but plan to do so shortly.



                                                         121461
