     i appreciate your invitation to address this conference sponsored by

t--e erican Gas Association ard Edison Electric Institute. In my capacity

as Comptroller General of the United States and Chairman of the Cost

Accounting S:andards 3card, I have a great deal of interest in the subjects

on the agenda.

     Legislation enacted over the past several years has shown that the
Ccngress is interested in Us   ..     g   carrying out national policies


For example, the absence of any authoritative body of cost accounting

principles applied in negotiated defense contracts led the Congress to-create

the Cost Accounting Standards Board in 1970.                        )Ki 7

     More recently, the Energy Policy and Conservation Act,,-p assed last

December, requires the Securities and Exchange CommissiOn, in consultation

with the General Accounting Office, to establish accounting standards for

mandatory use by companies that produce crude oil and natural gas. In

both instances, the Congress recognized that groups in both the private

and the public sectors were concerned with improved information needed

for public purpCses.
