Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to be here today to discuss the results

of our review of the paperwork burden imposed on the meat

industry by the Department of Agriculture. Our report, which

was issued on March 10, is the first in a series of reports

which will address the paperwork burden imposed by the Federal

Government on various segments of American businesses. These

reviews, which are being made at your request, will be in

the environmental, transportation, and tax areas.

     During our review of the meat industry, we found that

shortcomings in the Department of Agriculture's paperwork

management program allowed tor (1) preparing meaningless

burden estimates and (2) collecting of unneeded, unused, and

duplicate information from the meat industry.
