       Dear Mr. Newman:                       gBST

            The General Accounting Office has completed atreview of the
       Printing and Duplication Unit of the Publishing and Distribution
       Section, Federal Aviation Administration (haR,  Fort Worth, Texas
       We noted several matters which, we believe, deserve your considera-

            We found that the FAA Printing Program is not being operated
       in compliance with the Joint Committee on Printing (JCP) and FAA
       guidelines concerning the use of commercial printing sources.  We

       and diazo operations.  Data on the printing operation has been sent
       to our Washington office for further analysis.

            A summary of work performed and issues raised in each of the
       other areas is shown below.

       management has experimented with seven different duplicating machines,
       all through lease-purchase agreements.  The longest any machine was
       utilized was about 18 months while purchase options have never been
       executed.

            The two most recent machines have been fully automated and the
       present one is capable of producing about 60 impressions a minute.
       The present system, implemented in August 1973, replaced a similar
