ELMER B. STAATS, COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES

                        BEFORE THE

     SUBCOMMITTEE ON CIVIL AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

            HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY


                 ON

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS OF THE

    FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are pleased to be here today to present our report on the FBI's

domestic intelligence operations, which we have reviewed at the request of

the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. lhe report is entitled FB

Domestic Intelligence Operations--Their Purpose and Scope: Issues That

Need to be Resolved.

     As you know, we made our review pursuant to the Budget and Accounting

Act, 1921, the Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950, and the Legislative

Reorganization Act of 1970. However, despite our clear authority in those

acts to investigate the administration and operation of the FBI, the

Attorney General denied us proper access to FBI investigative files. Thus

we cannot adequately assure you, the full Committee, and the Congress that

our findings are complete.
