                STATEMENT OF ELMER B. STAATS

          COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES

                         BEFORE THE

     SUBCOMMITTEE ON COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
         COMMITTEE ON POST OFFICE AND CIVIL SERVICE

                             ON

                     EFEDRALEXECUTIVE PAY

Madam Chair and Members of the Subcommittee:

     I am pleased to be here to discuss the General Accounting

Office's views on the Federal executive pay problem. Having

served as Comptroller General for over 14 years, I have come to

recognize thatexecutive pay compression is one of the most

important issues facing the Government today3

    EAlthough executives and other top managers comprise only

a small segment of the Federal work force, this group is one of

the most vital factors for ensuring the successful performance

of Government programs.1 It is virtually impossible to address

national priorities and Government costs without recognizing

the responsibilities and the effect of this relatively small

group of individuals.

     A recent Brookings Institution study states that the

determination of Federal executive pay describes the kind

of government Americans want and the relationship of govern-

ment officials to the citizens they serve.
