IT'S AN AREA WHICH HAS RECEIVED CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION BY THE GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE (GAO). AS YOU WILL SEE WE HAVE EXPRESSED SOME STRONG AND SOMETIMES CONTROVERSIAL VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT. I HOPE YOU WILL AGREE, HOWEVER, THAT WE HAVE COME TO THESE CONCLUSIONS BY PAINSTAKINGLY GATHERING THE RELEVANT EVIDENCE AND WITHOUT ANY PRECONCEIVED NOTION OR BIASES. BY STATUTE WE ARE AN ARvii OF THE CONGRESS, HEADED BY THE COMPTROLLER GEAERAL, HU IS WELL INbULATED FROM THE PRESSURES OF SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS. THIS INSULATION ENSURES GAO THE ABILITY TO CUi'4UCT INDEPENDENT REVIEWS AND REPORT THE RESUirb AS WE SEE TaEi.i WHEN OPERATING IN THAT KIND OF AN ARENA ONE DOES NOT ALWAYb vI A POPUiARITY CONTE6T. FOR EXAMPLE, WE WERE EARLY ADVOCATES OF LESS REGULATION WHEN WE PROJECTED CONSIDERABLE SAVINGS IF AIRLINE REGULATIONS WERE RELAXED. YET WE HAVE SEEN THE NEED FOR TIGHTER REGULATIONS TO ENSURE THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THE FOOD WE EAT. 113057
