MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE:

     This is my 16th appearance before this Subcommittee in support

of our appropriation request. Within a few days, I will be com-

pleting my 15-year term as Comptroller General so I would like to

start on a personal note.

     I have been concerned with the financial operations of the

Federal Government for most of my Federal service career. Prior

to my appointment as Comptroller General, I served as Deputy

Budget Director for four different Presidents. I believe I can

say, therefore, with some assurance, that the GAO is the greatest

asset Congress has in its efforts to achieve greater economy and

efficiency in Federal operations and in its efforts to ferret out

fraud, abuse, and waste, which has been a matter of such great

public concern in recent years.
