                  GAO HUMAN CAPITAL REFORM ACT OF 2000

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I come before this body to state that I 
would object to any unanimous consent or other requests to address H.R. 
2751, S. 1522, entitled the GAO Human Capital Reform Act of 2003, as 
amended. The bill would, among other things, allow new authority to the 
General Accounting Office, GAO, to modify its personnel and workforce 
practices to allow greater flexibility in determining pay increases, 
pay retention rules, and other compensation matters. I am objecting to 
this bill because, at this time, I am evaluating a number of matters 
involving the operation and management of the General Accounting Office 
and one or more of its offices.
