         The General Accountiug Office (GAO requested an
appruopriation ot $187.843,000 for fiscal year 1979, an increase
of  ll,863O0 over its 1978 appropriation. The increase is
prin :ily attributable tc the need for increased personnel to
avoid unacceptably *thins audit coverage. GAO's budget request
has three basic objectives: to be able to respond to specific
conoressional requests for assistance, to sainttin a minimum
level of avdit and program evaluation for all proqrams fo which
the GAO has audit responsibility under its basic statutes, and
to carry out continuing day-to-day responsibilitie   under GAO~s
basic statutes. About 95 additional positions are needed in 1979
to meet GAO's mandated workload. Beyond that, 25 average
positions will be needed to meet the requirements of rccest
legislation. Some legislation assigns GAO a particular one-shot
review, usually within a specified time frame. Other legislation
creates or expands programs which assign audit respovsibility to
GAO. The resources requested are not to fulfill audit and
evaluation requirements of any pending legislation but are
intended to meet GaO's already mandated responsibilitieS. (RRS)
