        GENERAL GOVERNMENT DIVISION

     SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE

     HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY

124105


     Mr. Chairman and Members of  the Subcommittee:

     Our testimony today will present  the results of our review

work to date which focuses on various  sentencing reform leg-

islative proposals and the  impact these proposals may have on

various.components of the  federal criminal justice system.  Our

review was requested by both the House  and Senate Judiciary Com-

mittees.  For over a decade,  the Congress has generated numerous

legislative proposals to reduce the disparity  in sentences

imposed.  In our testimony we will discuss  (1) various aspects

of sentencing reform legislation and  their potential effects on

the criminal justice system,  (2) aspects that need to be con-

sidered before sentencing guidelines  are developed or used
