                        BEFORE TIlE
                   HOUSE COMMITTEE ON RULES

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     I appreciate this opportunity to discuss our thoughts on

improving congressional control over the Federal bdodget.  In

the past few months we have given considerable thought to this

general subject and I have testified on several occa. ionu.

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

the objectives and principles embodied in II.R. 7130. Wo

believe that the general recommendations made by the Joint

Study Committee on Budget Control provides a realistic, workable,

and needed approach to strengthening congreosional control over

the Federal budget.

     There are several issues which I believe you may wish to

consider in connection with II.R. 7130. 1 have briefly sum-

marized these points in this statement. Each is covered more

fully in the appendix.
