 The Honorable Jake Gan
 Chairman, Subcommittee on BUD-
 Independent Agencies
 Committee on Appropriations
 United States Senate                                       118140

 Dear Mr. Chairman:

     Subject: Evaluation of NASA's Compliance With
               Congressional Reprograming Requirements
               (MASAD-82-31)

     For several years the Senate Committee on Appropriations
has been concerned with the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration's (NASA's) reprograming procedures. Pursuant to
your request of November 13, 1981, and subsequent discussions
with your office, we reviewed

     --reprograming requirements applicable to NASA,

     --procedures established by NASA to control reprograming,

     --changes NASA made to the fi*sc~i year 1981 operating plan
       (see enc. I),
     --official notifications sent to the Senate Subcommittee on
       BUD-Independent Agencies as required under the guidelines
       in the 1981 appropriations act (Public Law 96-526) and
       the Senate Committee on Appropriations report (Senate
       Report 96-926), and

     --what might be done to improve the reprograming process.

We did not attempt to establish whether NASA's fund control pro-
cedures were adequate to ensure that funds were actually obligated
and spent consistent with legal limitations or congressional di-
rection.

     We found that NASA had established procedures for complying
with the reprograming requirements and had notified and requested
approvals for all reprograming changes to the fiscal year 1981
operating plan. The results of our review follow.
