GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 2018 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met at 3:30 p.m., in room SD-138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Steve Daines (Chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Daines, Murphy, and Van Hollen. CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE STATEMENT OF HON. KEITH HALL, DIRECTOR OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR STEVE DAINES Senator DAINEs. Good afternoon. The subcommittee will come to order. I would like to welcome everyone to the first of our fiscal year 2019 budget hearings for the agencies under the jurisdiction of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee. Today, we have with us the Director of the Congressional Budget Office, known as the CBO, Dr. Keith Hall; and the head of the Gov- ernment Accountability Office, the GAO, Comptroller General Gene Dodaro. I very much appreciate the willingness of the witnesses to appear before the subcommittee today and look forward to their testimony. The total Congressional Budget Office request for fiscal year 2019 is $50.7 million; an increase of $0.8 million above the fiscal year 2018 enacted level. This funding request supports the current full-time equivalent level of 239, and an additional 10 FTE, eight of which would be de- voted to the areas of transparency and responsiveness, and another two FTE would be added in the area of healthcare analysis. The total GAO request for fiscal year 2019 is $578.9 million, which is level with the fiscal year 2018 enacted level. Though level funding, this request supports an increase in FTE from 3,020 to 3,100 by shifting investments from one-time information technology (IT) and infrastructure projects being completed in fiscal year 2018 to personnel needs. This growth in FTE would continue progress toward GAO's multiyear plan to rebuild its staff capacity to an op- timal level of 3,250 FTE. I would like to thank you both for taking time last week to meet with me and discuss some of the issues facing your agencies. They were certainly valuable conversations. I enjoyed the back and forth (1)
