GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 2017 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC.

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE STATEMENT OF DR. KEITH HALL, DIRECTOR OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JAMES LANKFORD Senator LANKFORD. Good afternoon, everybody. The sub- committee will come to order. I would like to welcome everyone to our second fiscal year 2018 budget hearing for the agencies under the jurisdiction of the Legis- lative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee. Today, we have with us the director of Congressional Budget Office-CBO, as we affec- tionately call it around here-Dr. Keith Hall; and the head of the Government Accountability Office, Comptroller General Gene Dodaro. I appreciate the willingness of both of you to appear before the subcommittee, and I look forward to your testimony. We obviously received your written statements as well, and they are extensive. Total Congressional Budget Office request for fiscal year 2018 is $49.9 million, an increase of $3.4 million above the fiscal year 2017 enacted level. This funding request supports the current full-time equivalent level of 237 and an additional four analysts devoted to the areas of healthcare policy, dynamic scoring requirements, and appropriations. It also includes funding required to move CBO's data center. The total GAO request for fiscal year 2018 is $590.7 million, an increase of $46.2 million above fiscal year 2017 enacted level. This funding request supports an increase in FTEs from 3,000 to 3,100, which will continue to progress towards GAO's multi-year plan to rebuild its staff capacity to an optimal level of 3,250.
