Mr. Chairman and Members of the Task  Force:

     I am pleased to be here today to discuss with  you our views

on the importance of reforming the  federal budget process.  It is

clear that our nation is facing significant economic  and fiscal

issues, and that government decisionmakers will have  to make many

hard choices over the coming years on budget levels  and alloca-

tions.  To focus attention on the major  issues under these

demanding circumstances, we believe  it is imperative that our

government simplify, streamline, and strengthen  its budgetary and

financial management systems.

     At the outset, I would like to compliment you  and the other

members of the Task Force for the time,  interest, and effort you

have given to the subject of reforming the congressional  budget
