C. 20548 FOR RELEASE ON DELIVERY Expected at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, August 1, 1973 STATEMENT OF ELMER B. STAATS, COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON BUDGETING, MANAGEMENT AND EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS C UNITED STATES SENATE Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee: We appreciate very much the opportunity to discuss with you the provisions of title IV of S. 2049, theproposed Accounting and Auditing Act of 19Z33 relating to the Comptroller General's statutory rights to have access to records of the Federal agencies and certain public or private entities receiving Federal assistance. At the outset, I would like to point out that title IV does not expand our statutory authority relating to access to records of Federal agencies, contractors, and recipients of Federal assistance. It establishes a procedure for obtaining the records to which we are entitled by law. It provides a means of enforcing those rights after a Federal court has issued a declaratory judgment stating that we have a statutory right to the specific records involved. Also, we do not have authority for access to the records of international lending agencies and this title would not provide such authority. However, we do have a right for access to the records of the Federal agencies which are responsible for the Federal Government's participation in the international lending agencies. We believe the Congress is entitled to know how effective such Federal agencies are in carrying out such responsibilities. .,9.9 - -
