Federal Retirement System Financing (Testimony, 06/28/95,
GAO/T-GGD-95-197).

Federal retirement system financing is a complex issue.  This testimony
seeks to bring some perspective to the subject by describing how the
government finances its retirement system and by describing the budget
implications of the financing methods being used and possible changes to
these methods.  GAO concentrates on the Civil Service Retirement System
and the Federal Employees Retirement System because they are the largest
retirement programs for federal workers.
