Budget .0unction: Commerce and Transportation: Air Transportation (405). Organization Concerned: National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Cangressional Relevance: Rep. Thomas N. Downing; Sen. William L. Scott; Sen. Harry F. Oyrd, Jr. The National Aeronautics and Space AdniDlijtration's (NASA) decision to designate the Aes Research CUnter in ountain Vio, California, as the lead center fox helicopter research and development wae examined. The basis for NASA's decision was a report by a group headed by thA Director of NASA's Levis Research Cetter which recommeried that a single management focus for all haliwpter researt:i and technology be established. Three options wete considered.: (1) making Ames the lead center; (2) making the Langley Research Center in Tirginia the lead center; or (3) centraliz.iaq the headquarters role. Findings/Coclusionu: Review of the Lewis report indicated several major flaws. The study group did not examine possible cost effects on the Army. Under all three alternatives, a reduction ot five staff-years ($200,000) was improperly included as a saving. Under the Ames alternative, estimates 3 not include oue-time termination costs for the reduction in force, termination costs for those unwilling to transfer from Langley to Ames, or one-time recruiting costs for new positions. The study group did not rscognixe the residual value of certain aircraft now at Langley under the Ames option. Projections were made for other rost elements with little or no Lupporting documentation. (RRS)
