STATEMENT OF ACTUARIAL OPINION
It is my opinion that (1) the techniques and methodology used herein to eval­uate the financial and actuarial status of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance Trust Funds are based upon sound princi­ples of actuarial practice and are generally accepted within the actuarial pro­fession; and (2) the assumptions used and the resulting actuarial estimates are, individually and in the aggregate, reasonable for the purpose of evaluat­ing the financial and actuarial status of the trust funds, taking into consider­ation the past experience and future expectations for the population, the economy, and the program.
