               CH.1R. 6686, The Congressional Reports
                       Elimination Act of 1980                   1
                                                              112864

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to be here today to discuss H.R. 6686, the proposed

Congressional Reports Elimination Act of 1980. This bill would eliminate

and/or modify some 235 mandated reporting requirements, thereby decreasing

the workload and cost of government operations. Report reduction has been

and continues to be an important area of concern to the General Accounting

Office. Accordingly, we strongly support efforts directed at reducing

unnecessary paperwork in the Federal Government and endorse the enact-

ment of H.R. 6686.

     As you know, this bill is a culmination of several years of effort

on the part of the Congress (specifically this committee), the Executive,

and the GAO. Its history dates back to the early 1970's when this

!committee requested the GAO to study the area of reports reduction.
