ir. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are presenting today the financial requirements to carry

out the resnonsibilities of the General Accountinq Office for

fiscal year 1980.

     The request that we are supporting today is for S206,763,llO.

This will fund 5,350 staff years. It is an increase of $17,506,300

over our FY 1979 obligational authority and the supplemental fundinq

that we have requested for that year. Of this total increase of

$17.5 million, $6.2 million is necessary to fund 168 additional

staff years for workload increases which we must meet and over which

we have virtually no control. The balance of the increase--11.3

million--is required to support our current operations.

     The (AO Justification of Estimates for Fiscal Year 1980,

which has already been given you, details the basis for our

request and the manner in which we plan to use all of the resources

that we have requested for that year. I would like in my statement

today to point uD the reasons that I believe it is important for

GAO to be funded at this increased level and to briefly describe

and illustrate the kinds of workload increase that we now know

we must meet in FY 1980. I will also discuss the extent to which

we have kept the requested increase to a minimum throiLgh olans
