Madam Chairwoman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     I am pleased to be here to present the views of the

General Accounting Office on H.R. 3116. At the request of the

Committees on Government Operations and Post Office and Civil

Service, we are preparing detailed comments on the bill's

specific provisions. We will present these comments for the

record, an3 I will limit my remarks today to our general reac-

tion to the bill.

     First, we heartily agree with the bill's purpose--to

reduce Government cost and improve service through increased

productivity. I believe it will be helpful to briefly mention

why there has been little progress in these areas. Past GAO
