Statement of Elmer B. Staats, Comptroller General of the United States before the Subcommittee on Economy in Government, Joint Economic Committee on the Military Budget and National Economic Priorities

Abstract

Initially, I would like to briefly explain the broad areas being covered by the General Accounting Office as well as some of the recent changes in emphasis in our accounting, auditing, and legal work. Of our total operating budget for fiscal year 1969 of $59.6 million, over $30.1 million, or 50.5 percent is related to defense programs and activities. The allocation of our resources in the accounting, auditing, and legal and other related functions is slightly in excess of that portion of defense spending of the total Federal budget, some 43 percent.
