             ESTABLISHMENT


MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE:

     We appreciate your invitation to appear here today to comment upon

legislative proposals relating to the reorganization or modernization

of the postal establishment. In your letter inviting us to appear, you

identified five bills which exemplify the chief legislative proposals

which are before the Committee for consideration. These include

H.R. 11750, H.R. 4 and H.R. 13124 each of which would provide for rather

comprehensive reforms of the postal establishment and each of which would

create a corporate body to carry out all or a portion of the present

functions of the Post Office Department. The other two bills, H.R. 1133

and H.R. 1134, relate primarily to appointments of personnel in the

postal establishment.

     For the most part, the changes involved in the proposals being con-

sidered by this Committee are matters for determination for the Congress

which do not directly involve the functions or responsibilities of the

Comptroller General or the General Accounting Office. Accordingly, we



                                    --74+G5-?79z/J/ --
