1997 OASDI Trustees Report
H. 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
generally accepted within the actuarial profession; and (2) the
assumptions used and the resulting actuarial estimates are, in the
aggregate, reasonable for the purpose of evaluating the financial and
actuarial status of the trust funds, taking into consideration the
experience and expectations of the program.
