                          STATEMENT OF
    ELMER B. STAATS COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
               BEFORE THE LEGISLArmIVE SUBCOMiITTEE
                    APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
                    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
                               ON
              BUDGET ESTIMATES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1979



MR. CHAIRMANT AND MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE:

     We are presenting today the financial reauirements to carry

out the responsibilities of the General Accounting Office for

fiscal year 1979. My statement will highliqht the more detailed

Justification of Estimates submitted to the Subcommittee

earlier.

     The request which we are supporting today is for  IR7,843,000,

an increase of $11,863,000 over our 1978 appropriation. It will

support 5,264 average positions in fiscal year 197q, an increase

of 120 over the 5,144 authorized for fiscal year 1978. Of the

$11.9 million increase about S4.3 million is attributable to our

request for the additional 120 average positions; the balance of

$7.6 million supports our current level of services. No increase

in GAO staff was provided for in the 1978 appropriation.

     After a detailed review of our workload and the opoortunities

for savings and improvements in Federal operations, I have con-

cluded that we need a small increase in staff to do the job which

the Congress expects of us.
