CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE May 18, 1981
The purpose of this voluntary inter-
national code is to offer protection to
the most helpless of the world's popu-
lation-the children, the pewborn.
In the past I have been proud when
the United States has stood alone
against oppression and stood up for
human rights. This time the United
States will stand alone but in tragedy
and in sadness as the only Nation,
while 156 nations vote to support this
code. A vote for the code would be a
symbol of deep U.S. concern for suf-
fering children throughout the world.
Our colleague, the gentleman from
Iowa (Mr. HARxIN) and I have Joined
in a letter to the President urging him
to reconsider what we consider to be a
very unfortunate, tragic decision. I
urge my colleagues to join us in sign-
ing this letter.
HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES,
Washington, D.C., May 18, 1981.
President RONALD REAGAN,
The White House,
Washington, D.C.
DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: On Friday, May 15,
the State Department announced that the
United States intends to vote against the
World Health Organization's (WHO) and
UNICEF's International Code of Marketing
of Breast Milk Substitutes. The vote on the
Code is expected to occur tomorrow, May
19.
Speaking on behalf of 75 Members of Con-
gress who have co-sponsored a House Reso-
lution in support of the Code, and on behalf
of millions of dying infants, we ask you to
involve yourself personally in the decision-
making process on the U.S. vote, and to re-
verse the decision made by your Administra-
tion.
support for one basic reason-it exemplifies
the concern of the American people for im-
proving the health and well-being of infants
throughout the world. Children raised
under conditions of poverty and poor sanita-
tion are, of course, particularly vulnerable
to the disease and high rates of malnutri-
tion associated with improper bottle feed-
ing.
According to the Director-General . of
WHO, evidence from the Third World indi-
cates that infants breast fed for less than
six months, or not at all, have a mortality
rate five to ten times higher in the second
six months of life than those breast fed for
six months or more.
The Code also deserves your support be-
cause it offers a chance to enhance U.S. re
lations with developing countries-without
spending an extra dime of the taxpayers'
money. Many of our European allies are
also strongly committed to the Code.
Indeed, at present, only a few people in the
United States seem to be in doubt as to the
importance of the Code.
Mr. President, the stakes are high. The
lives of millions of babies may depend on
your decision. Please take the time to
review-and overrule-the decision your Ad-
ministration has made.
We would be happy to discuss this matter
with you personally, and we will be availa-
ble to meet with you this afternoon or at
your convenience.
Respectfully,
Tom Harkin, James M. Jeffords, James
Oberstar, Ron Wyden, Edward J.

FEDERAL MANAGER'S .
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 19$1
Mr. BROOKS. Mrg. -Speaker, 'l move
(JL.R. 1526) to amend the Accounting
and Auditing Act of 1950 to require
ongoing evaluations and, reports. on
the adequacy of the systems of inter-
nal accounting and administrative con-
trol of each executive agency, and for
other purposes, as amended.
The. Clerk read as follows:
N.A. 1526
Be it' enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of W United States of
America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. This Act may be cited as the
"Federal Managers' Accountability Act of
1981".
SEc. 2. Section 113 of the Accounting and
Auditing Act of 1960 (311 U.S.C. Oft) Is
amended by adding at the end thereof the
following new subsection:
"(d)(IXA) To ensure compliance with the
requirements of suboeettbn (a)(3) of this sec-
tion, internal accounting and administrative
controls of each executive agency shall be
established in sepordsoce with standards
prescribed by the Comptroller General, and
shall provide assurances that
"(1) all obligations and costs are in compli-
ance with applicable law;
"(ii) all funds, property, and other assets
are safeguarded egs1n t waste. loss, unau-
thorized use, or misappecpriation; and

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE May 18, 1981
General. These controls would provide
assurances that all obligations and
costs are in compliance with the law,
that all funds, property, and other
assets are protected against waste and
mismanagement; and that all transac-
tions are properly recorded. Standards
would also be prescribed by the Comp-
troller General to insure the prompt
resolution of all audit findings.
Once the standards have been pre-
scribed by the Comptroller General,
the Office of Management and Budget
would be required to establish guide-
lines for the evaluation by agencies of
their internal control systems. By De-
cember 31 of each year the head of
each executive agency would be re-
quired to prepare a statement certify-
ing that the agency's control system
either is in compliance with the stand-
ards or is not in compliance. If the
system is not in compliance, weakness-
es must be identified and a plan and
schedule for correcting those weak-
nesses must be described in detail. The
statements would be signed. and trans-
mitted to the President and to the
Congress.
There are safeguards in the bill to
protect against submission of false or
misleading information in connection
with the evaluation of an agency's
control system. There are also safe-
guards to protect against public disclo-
sure of sensitive or classified informa-
tion.
Finally, the bill would require addi-
tional efforts on the part of the Presi-
dent and of the agency heads in prepa-
ration of annual budget documents.
The President would be required to
submit with annual budget informa-
tion a simple statement on both the
original amount of appropriations re-
quested by the Inspector General of
each agency, and any changes OMB
made in those requests. The head of
each agency would be required to
submit with. any appropriations re-
quest a report on the status and prog-
ress that agency has made in having
its accounting system approved by the
Comptroller General as required by
the Accounting and Auditing Act of
1950.
I should point out, Mr. Speaker, that
we were very careful in giving to the
Comptroller General the authority to
prescribe standards on which internal
accounting and administrative con-
trols will be established and to OMB
the authority to establish the guide-
lines for agencies to use in their evalu-
ations of internal control systems. We
agreed at the subcommittee and at the
full committee that such a balance is
necessary and is in keeping with the
missions of both GAO and OMB.
As far as the reporting process is
concerned, I pointed out at the hear-
ing that I would be reluctant to re-
quire yet another congressionally
mandated report unless that report re-
sults in either a long-term increase in
administrative efficiency or a long-
term decline of Federal paperwork. I
am satisfied that H.R. 1526 will pro-
vide the bureaucracy with the kind of
impetus that could meet either or
both of those criteria.
For those and other reasons, I sup-
port H.R. 1526, Mr. Speaker, and urge
its prompt approval here today.
0 1215
Mr. ROUSSELOT. Mr..Speaker, will
the gentleman yield?
Mr. HORTON. I yield to the gentle-
man from California.
Mr. ROUSSELOT. I appreciate my
colleague yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I note in the report, or
at least in some of the material we re-
ceived on this bill, that the adminis-
tration supports the objectives of this
bill but opposes its enactment because
they felt that OMB, not the General
Accounting Office, should issue stand-
ards governing executive agencies and
the internal financial control systems
and audit fol~owup, and I wondered if
either of my colleagues would care to
comment on that?
Mr. HORTON. I would be very
happy to comment. I am glad the gen-
tleman brought that subject up.
I spoke just this morning with Mr.
Harper. the deputy of OMB, and the
OMB did testify on the bill during the
course of the hearings.
Basically, they are in accord with
the purpose of the bill. But there are
two things that they were somewhat
concerned about. One was the subject
that the gentleman brought up, and
that was who would establish stand-
ards.
The bill originally required that the
General Accounting Office establish
and implement standards. And the
compromise we worked out was that
the General Accounting Office would
set the standards, which appropriately
should be done by the General Ac-
counting Office, and that the imple-
mentation would be up to the OMB.
Now, admittedly, that is not as far as
the OMB would like to go, but I think
that is a good compromise on that sub-
ject.
The other point that they were con-
cerned about is that, in accordance
with the bill, the amount that is re-
quested by the Inspector General has
to. be sent through-the information
has to be sent through to the Secre-
tary and then to the OMB and then
made public, sent back to the Con-
gress. They were concerned about that
because they do not do it in any other
situation.
I explained to Mr. Harper and to the
OMB that this is, if you will, a fact of
life. We do need to know what the re-
quests are of the Inspectors General,
insofar as their requests for budget, so
that we know that they are actually
operating as independently as possible.
I am sure that the Senate will have
different language, and perhaps we
can work out sort of a compromise on
that when we get to that phase of it.
But from my standpoint I think that
it is important for the Congress to
know the amount that has been re-
quested by the Inspectors General so
that we will have some idea as to how
independent the Inspectors General
are in the work that they are engaged
in, which, as the gentleman knows, is
to uncover and oversight fraud and
abuse and inefficiency in the various
agencies.
Mr. ROUSSELOT. I appreciate my
colleague outlining what those con-
cerns were on the part of the adminis-
tration, especially OMB.
I think, on the second point the gen-
tleman made, there was a concern that
initial budget requests back and forth
might become part of this request, on
the part of an Inspector General in
any given agency. In other words, just
preliminary requests.
Is it possible that that could be
modified, or has the gentleman con-
templated doing so, on the basis that
it is not absolutely essential for us to
know every single detail of every
single memorandum between an In-
spector General and the OMB and/or
the President? Or does the gentleman
wish to comment on that?
Mr. HORTON. Well, the bill, on
page 5, section 3, subdivision (k) and
following, says this:
"(k) The President shall include in the
supporting detail accompanying each
Budget submitted on or after January 1,
1982, a statement with respect to each de-
partment and establishment of-
"(1) the original amount of appropriationI
requested by the Office of the Inspector
General of such department or establish-
ment, if any;
"(2) the changes made in such request b3P
the head of such department or establish-
ment prior to the submission of such re-
quest to the Director of the Office of Man-
agement and Budget;"
So I think it is pretty clear from the
language of the bill that the informa-
tion we need to have is the amount of
the original request of appropriations
and then any changes that are made
by the Secretary.
Mr. ROUSSELOT. Well, I guess the
concern that I would have is that this
mandate in the bill does not force the
Inspector General in any agency to
submit in detail all requests relating to
budget, but it is his primary request
for each budget, period; is that it?
Mr. HORTON. That is it.
Mr. ROUSSELOT. I thank the gen-
tleman for the clarification.
Mr. HORTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield
such time as he may consume to the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. HYDE),
one of the original sponsors of this
concept in this bill.
(Mr. HYDE asked and was given per-
mission to revise and extend his re-
marks.)
Mr. HYDE. I thank the gentleman
for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to see q
piece of legislation come before this_
body that cost so little but will save so
much. I wholeheartedly support the
Federal Managers Accountability Act
of 1981, a bill that requires continuing
evaluations and reports to Congress on
