EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE
REORGANIZATION SUBCOMMITTEE

OF THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS,

Washington, D.C. The subcommittee met at 10:15 a.m. in room 2154, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. John A. Blatnik, (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Present: Representatives John A. Blatnik, Chet Holifield, Benjamin S. Rosenthal, and John N. Erlenborn.

Staff members present; Elmer W. Henderson, subcommittee counsel; James A. Lanigan, general counsel; and William H. Copenhaver, minority professional staff, Committee on Government Operations. Mr. BLATNIK. The Subcommittee on Executive and Legislative Reorganization will come to order.

The Chair wants to express appreciation to our colleague and friend, Congressman Roth, for his patience in waiting for hearings on a bill that he introduced some time ago. He has had his testimony ready for quite some time.

These hearings have been called to consider H.R. 17112, introduced by Congressman William V. Roth to create a catalog of Federal assistance programs. The bill directs the President to annually prepare, publish, and maintain such a catalog and make quarterly revisions thereof. The catalog shall be "the single authoritative, Government-wide compendium of Federal domestic assistance program information produced by a Federal agency or department." The President is to transmit it to Congress no later than May 1 of each regular session. The catalog "shall be designed to assist the potential beneficiary identify all existing Federal domestic assistance programs wherever administered, and shall supply information for each program so that the potential beneficiary can determine whether particular assistance or support might be available to him for the purposes he wishes."

The bill lists seven categories of information the catalog shall contain for each Federal domestic assistance program and may include such other information as the President may consider necessary or desirable. The price of the catalog shall be "approximately equal to the cost in quantities adequate to meet public demands." Up to 10,000 copies may be distributed by Members of Congress and certain other Government officials without cost.
