Mr.  Chairman and Members of the Committeo;

     I appreciate this opportunity to diocws  S. 1541 designed  to improve

congressional  control over the Federal budget. In the past fcw months we

have given considerable thought to this general  ubject and I have testi-

fle  before the Joint Study Committee on Budget Control, the Senate

Government Operations Committee and the House Rulc  Connittee. ,35efV-

     At the outnet, I wish to state that we strongly support the

objectives and principles embodied in 1. 1541.  We believe that enactnent

of a measure along the lines of this bill would represent a m'ajor and

greatly needed step to strengthen congressional codtrol over the Federal

budget.  Having followed the work of the House and Senate closely during

its consideration of this matter, I know of the great effort required to

bring the proposal to its present stage.  I am much encouraged by the

progress which has been made in resolving the many difficult issues which

are involved in this complex subject,
