                            STATEMENT OF
      ELMER B. STAATS, COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
                             BEFORE THE
         LEGISLATIVE SUBCOMMITTEE, APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE

               BUDGET ESTIMATES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1973

                                                         FEB 2 8 19/Z

MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE:


     We appreciate this opportunity to present our budget estimates

and our plans for the operation of the General Accounting Office in

FY 1973. In a separate volume, we have furnished details on the

work programs, manpower, and funds proposed to support these plans.

I would like to highlight the major factors which were considered

in developing them.

     Our appropriation for FY 1972 is $87,108,000. The pay increase

which became effective January 9, 1972, adds $2,100,000--raising the

total budget estimate for this fiscal year to $89,208,000.

     We expect to fully utilize these funds. But in doing so we are

reprogramming $1,040,000 by reducing the man-years to be financed,

111 below the number provided in our PY 1972 appropriation. We had

decided to accept this reduction in line with the President's

Government-wide economy moves instituted last August. However,

Congress has recently passed two bills--The Federal Election Campaign

Act and The Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act--which impose a

major new workload on the GAO beginning this fiscal year, and which

necessitate the use of our voluntary savings to finance this unforeseen

requirement. As a result, we will require the full amount of the pay

supplemental to cover the S.S percent pay increase.
