STAATS COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS ON 2880, THE CONSULTANT REFORM ACT OF 19 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee: We are pleased to be here today to discuss S. 2880, the proposed Consultant Reform Act of 1980. Before giving our views on the bill, I want to reaffirm our Office's position that the proper use of consulting services is a legitimate and economical way to improve Government services and operations. Agencies must continue to have the option of using consulting services Where appropriate. They have a legitimate need for access to the best expertise and advice available from the private sector to assist in carrying out a growing number of complex Federal programs. Although agencies normally rely on a permanent work force to carry out programs, in many instances, it is not economical to hire permanent employees. Accordingly, they draw upon the expertise available from the private sector without having to make a long- term employment commitment. 113056
