      The Honorable William Proxmire, Chairman
      The Honorable Charles McC. Mathias, Jr.,
        Ranking Minority Member                  .6
      Subcommittee on HUD-Independent Agencies C
      Committee on Appropriations

           Subject: jStaffing Implications of Tracking and Data
                     Relay Satellite System and Remote Sensing
                     Activitiesi(PSAD-80-47)

           Your December 12, 1979, letter requested us to review
      the staffing implications caused by introducing the Tracking
      and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) on the National
      Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Goddard Space
      Flight Center. Also, on a related matter, you asked us to
      assess the staffing impact on NASA if civil land remote sens-
      ing activities are transferred to the National Oceanic and
      Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

           Your office was briefed on March 14, 1980, regarding
      TDRSS and on May 1, 1980, on the potential transfer of
      remote sensing activities to NOAA. Summaries of these brief-
      ings follow.

      INQUIRY INTO STAFFING IMPACT ON NASA
      CAUSED BY INTRODUCING TDRSS

           As agreed with your office, we reviewed and analyzed
      the TDRSS decisions that were announced in NASA's December 7,
      1979, letter to the subcommittee. The letter contained the
      estimated number of personnel positions to be reduced by
      introducing TDRSS and explained NASA's conceptual plan for
      operating Goddard activities after TDRSS becomes operational.
