HARRIS, GROUP DIRECTOR, GENERAL GOVERNMENT DIVISION U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE TO THE LEHIGH VALLEY CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ACCOUNTANTS ON CGAO'S CHANGING AND EXPANDING ROLE FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1980 It is always a pleasure to return here to the Lehigh Valley. As they say, There is no place like home. It is particularly a pleasure to appear before yox4 ladies and gentlemen, to speak about the General Accounting Office, an organization with which I am proud to be affiliated. Proud, because I believe it is an organization which truly represents and looks after the public's interest. For me to cover the entire history of our Office and discuss the many changes that have occurred--and there have been many--it would take perhaps all weekend. For those of you who may be interested, our complete history. has been recorded in a recent book by Dr. Fredrick C. Mosher entitled The GAO: The Quest for Accountability in American Government. This evening, however, I thought that I would just discuss some of the highlights of our Office'-s almost 60-year history in terms of its changing and expanding re6ponsibilities. Later, I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. The General Accounting Office--otherwise referred to as the Government Accounting Office, the Government's Watchdog Agency, and most commonly as the GAO--was established by the Budgeting and Accounting Act of 1921 to investigate all matters relating to the receipt, disbursment, and application of public funds. / - ?X_3
