       SCONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT REFORM LEGISLATION7


Congresswoman Chisholm and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are pleased to be here today to present our views

on proposed congressional oversight reform legislation,

including H.R. 2, the Sunset Act, and H.R. 65, the Legis-

lative Oversight Act. In addition to my prepared state-

ment, we are providing for the record an attachment that

discusses the effect of this legislation on GAO and several

specific provisions of the bills.

     We have worked closely with the Senate Committees

over the past few years in an attempt to develop a workable

oversight reform bill and hope to share with you today some

of that experience and what we have learned since then.
