                        May 26, 1977


MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE:

     I am appearing before you today in my capacity as

Chairman of the Cost Accounting Standards Board to discuss

various aspects of the Subcommittee Staff Study on the Ac-

counting Establishment as it relates to the CASB.

     Before discussing the staff study, I would like first

to review briefly for you our activities to date.

     We have promulgated 14 cost accounting standards, 2

interpretations of standards, and implementing regulations.

All of these promulgations are required to be included in

major negotiated defense contracts.

     In addition, we have developed a cost accounting con-

ceptual framework. The essence of that framework was pub-

lished in March 1973, in our Statement of Operating Policies,

Procedures, and Objectives. The framework has recently been

updated and expanded and a restatement has just been published.

We believe that establishing concepts for cost accounting, as

early in our history as 1973, was very important to our

                                                5-
