Chairman Horn and Members of the Subcommittee, I am pleased to be here today to discuss the issue of reforming the federal budget process. The basic theme of my testimony is that the budget process is working. It achieves the functions it is designed to perform.

Accordingly, I believe the Subcommittee should proceed cautiously as it considers an omnibus reform measure.
