                             BEFORE THE

              SUBCOMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL EFFICIENCY
                   AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
                 COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS
                        UNITED STATES SENATE
                  CONCERNING H.R. 8588, A BILL TO
              ESTABLISH AN OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
              IN VARIOUS FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES



Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     I appreciate the opportunity to appear before the Subcommittee

to present the views of the General Accounting Office on H.R.

8588, a bill which would establish an Office of Inspector General

within various Federal departments and agencies.

     With me today are Mr. George L. Egan, Assistant Director,

and Mr. John J. Adair, of our Financial and General Management

Studies Division.

SUMMARY OF THE TESTIMONY

     I want to say at the outset, Mr. Chairman, that GAO strongly

supports the basic concepts of H.R. 8588. However, we believe

the bill should be modified to clearly indicate that the audit

function of each Inspector General should not be subordinated
