                           Statement of

     Elmer B. Staats, Comptroller General of the United States
                            before the

                   Special Studies Subcommittee

                       in connection with

           A Study of the Utilization and Operations of
 Interagency and Public Advisory Committees in the Federal Service

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     I am pleased to appear here today as you requested in

connection with your study.

     Committees and commissions in the Government service serve
such a variety of purposes that it is Aot possible to categorize

them as to subject matter. These groups may range all the way from

the Hoover-type commission consisting of legislative, executive,

and private industry members and created for the purpose of making

studies and recommendations on very broad scale and far-reaching
matters of Government-wide policy and organization, to a small,

ad hoc committee from a particular profession or industry called
in to advise a department head on a single, relatively narrow

problem. In between these will be found a large number of committees,

commissions, panels, boards, and other groups of myriad sizes,

compositions, purposes, and lifespans.
