                                STATEMENT OF
         ELMER B. STAATS, COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
                                 BEFORE THE
                       SUBCOMMITTEE ON CIVIL SERVICE
       COMMITTEE ON POST OFFICE AND CIVIL SERVICE, UNITED STATES SENATE
          ON S. 2325, A BILL TO AMEND TITLE 5, UNITED STATES CODE,
                   TO PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL POSITIONS IN
                           GRADES 16, 17 AND 18,





Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We appreciate this opportunity to appear before you to discuss our

need for additional supergrade positions in the General Accounting Office

as a result of current conditions and increased responsibilities associated

with our work throughout the Federal Establishment.

     We appeared before the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service of

the United States Senate on March 11, 1968, and recommended for favorable

consideration and approval of the Congress an amendment to section 5108(c)(1)

of title 5, United States Code, that would increase the total number of

positions the Comptroller General is authorized to place in grades 16, 17

and 18 from 64 to 90. The number which we are recommending is the same as

that contained in S.3672, 90th Congress, which was passed by the Senate

last year. That same proposal is embodied in section l(c) of S.2325 now

under consideration and we urge that favorable consideration be given to

its enactment.




               i./
