                         KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY
                           ELMER B. STAATS
              COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
                               AT THE
                   SILVER ANNIVERSARY SYMPOSIUM OF
           THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTANTS ASSOCIATION
                        MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA        -
                            JUNE 16, 1975

                        FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:
              LOOKING BACK TO 1950 AND AHEAD TO 2000

     I was especially happy to accept your invitation to serve as the

keynote speaker, not only because of my interest in the subject of

government financial management but also because I had a part to play,

as an official of the Bureau of the Budget, in support of the Budget

and Accounting Procedures Act of 1950 which became law almost on the

same date that the Federal Government Accountants Association was

formally organized.

     A Silver Anniversary is always a notable event.  This one for the

FGAA is unusually important.  It is important because these Symposia,

over the years, have helped to improve the efficacy of your work as

government accountants, auditors, and managers throughout the Federal

system, and your work is a yeast to every department and agency.  Your

work for top and middle management brings about changes and improvements

in government services to taxpayers.  Perhaps I should add that if I am

wrong about that there may never be another Silver Anniversary.  As

accountants, auditors, and managers, we all know our purpose in being:

to improve the ways in which Federal departments and agencies operate

on behalf of the public.
