  STATEMENT OF ELMER B. STAATS, COMPTROILLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
    BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT, JOINT ECONOMIC           D
    COMMITTEE ON THE MILITARY BUDGET AND NATIONAL ECONOMIC PRIORITIES   roo



Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee:


     I appreciate your invitation to participate in these hearings and to


comment on the recommendations contained in the May 23, 1969 report of


your Subcommittee on~tie Economics of Military Procurementj


     Initially, I would like to briefly explain the broad areas being


covered by the General Accounting Office as well as some of the recent


changes in emphasis in our accounting, auditing, and legal work.


     Of our total operating budget for fiscal year 1969 of $59.6 million,


over $30.1 million, or 50.5 percent is related to defense programs and


activities. The allocation of our resources in the accounting, auditing,


and legal and other related functions is slightly in excess of that portion


of defense spending of the total Federal budget, some 43 percent.


                                                      O~99%
