JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF CONFERENCE COMMITTEE

The managers on the part of the House and the Senate of the conference of the two Houses on the amendments of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 7130) issued an explanatory statement of the legislation. This was included in a House Budget Committee print in 1975 after the bill’s enactment. It included the following description of this section:

Section 701. Review and Evaluation by Committees

The Senate amendment authorized congressional committees to use pilot testing and analytic techniques in the evaluation of Federal programs.

The conference substitute is the same as the Senate provision. It amends the 1946 Legislative Reorganization Act to provide that committees may conduct testing or analysis themselves or require agencies to evaluate programs and report the results to them.
