                REMARKS OF ELMER B. STAATS
         COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES

                          AT THE
                   3RD JOINT CONFERENCE
                          OF THE                      112261

              INTERGOVERNMENTAL AUDIT FORUMS
                     IN DALLAS, TEXAS

                     APRIL  25, 1980


     I am especially pleased to be with you today at this

third Joint Conference of the intergovernmental audit forums.

I thank you for the opportunity to speak to you and share

with you some thoughts about a real intergovernmental rela-

tions success story.

     One of the highlights during my time as Comptroller

General is the General Accounting Office's involvement in the

audit forum movement.  Our efforts started about 7 years ago

when I met with a group of State auditors who envisioned

representatives of Federal, State and local audit organiza-

tions meeting together to discuss and solve some of the

issues that existed among them.  One of these gentlemen is

Bill Snodgrass, who I had hoped to see here today.  As a result

of that meeting, eleven intergovernmental audit forums exist

today, and, while not all the problems have been solved, the

relationship among auditors from all levels of government is

much closer.  In time, most of the major auditing problems

will be solved and those here today, will be the ones to

make this happen.
