Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to appear before you to express our views on

improving congressional oversight. My statement today will be

very brief, since my colleagues and I have had several oppor-

tunities to present our views and suggestions on this and related

topics.

     In the past few months, we have considered and commented

on many proposals for improving congressional and administrative

decisionmaking and controlprocesses, including sunset, sunrise,

legislative veto, regulatory reform, grant reform, debt ceiling,

multiple year authorization and funding for research and develop-

ment, and prevention of fraud and abuse.
