                   SUMMARY OF GAO  TESTIMONY
              ON 9.R. 597 BY DAVID  E. BRYANT, JR.
              GROUP  DIRECTOR  (CLAIMS) ACCOUNTING
              AND  FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT  DIVISION


     GAO supports this Bill  for two reasons.  First, it will have

the effect of shifting the  fiscal accountability to agencies for

allowable claims between $25,000  and $100,000 and an additional

$75,000 of claims in excess of  $100,000.  The fiscal accounta-

bility may be to the government's benefit  in compromise

settlement offers and  in the management of government activities

which give rise to claims of these  type.

     Secondly, administrative paperwork  will be reduced and

allowable claims of under $100,000 and  the first $100,000 of

claims over $100,000 will be'paid  4-6 weeks faster than is now

the case.  GAO sees possibly reduced  and at worst the same

overall level of Treasury disbursement  for claims affected by

H.R. 597.

     GAO sees no loss of oversight capability  should H.R. 597 be

enacted.
