Dear Mr. Bowsher.

Pursuant to Sections 307 and 308 of Public Law 103-69, the U.S. House of Representatives has analyzed the actual FY '95 House FTE and administrative expenses. Attached to this letter are the individual summaries of FTE and administrative expenses estimated obligations compared with required targets

Sec. 307 required a four percent reduction of 455 FTE's from the 11,291 FTE base as of September 30, 1992 with at least 62.5% of the reduction achieved by September 30, 1994. You were notified one year ago of the House achieving its FTE required goal as of September 30, 1994. The FY 95 FTE ceiling for the House was 10,839. The actual FY '95 FTE usage for the House as of September 30. 1995 was 9.909. The House has more than met its required 4% FTE reductions of 455 over the two year period with actual FTE reductions of 1,382. This translates into a 12.24% FTE reduction compared with the 4% required by law.

Sec. 308 required the House to reduce administrative expenses. The FY '95 administrative expense ceiling was $72,535 million. The actual FY '95 expenditures and estimated administrative expense obligations total $62,441 million for a savings of $10,091 million.
