         H.R. 7674 THE CONSULTANT REFORM ACT OF 1980

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to be here today to discuss H. R. 7674, the

proposed Consultant Reform Act of 1980. Before giving our views

on the bill, I want to reaffirm our Office's position that the

proper use of consulting services is a legitimate and economical

way to improve Government services and operations. Agencies must

continue to have the option of using consulting services where

appropriate. They have a legitimate need for access to the best

expertise and advice available from the private sector to assist

in carrying out a growing number of complex Federal programs.

     Although agencies normally rely on a permanent work force t

carry out programs, in many instances, it is not economical to h

permanent employees. Accordingly, they draw upon the expertise

available from the private sector without having to make a long-

term employment commitment.
