                             STATEMENT OF

   ROBERT F. KELLER, DEPUTY COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES,

                               Before the

         SUBCOMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, CONSUMER AND MONETARY AFFAIRS
                   COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
                        HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                                   on

                         H.R. 8948, 94th Congress


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We appreciate the opportunity to appear before you to give you our views

on H.R. 8948, 94th Congress, which would amend section 117 of the Accounting

and Auditing Act of 1950 to provide for audits of the Internal Revenue

Service by the Comptroller General.

     In testimony before this Subcommittee on May 22, 1975, I furnished the

details of the long standing differences between the General Accounting

Office and the Internal Revenue Service over the right of the General

Accounting Office to perform an audit of the Internal Revenue Service.

Unless you wish me to do so I will not go into these differences again today.

However, I am convinced the matter is at an impasse and that legislation to

clarify that the Internal Revenue Service is subject to audit by the General

Accounting Office is necessary. I, therefore, strongly recommend that

H.R. 8948 be given favorable consideration by the Congress.
