C. in ' eW . iew 8oaftiti:cs- presented by Dr. Becker concerning this project, you asked us to reevaluate our recommendations for the Howard University project and to furnish you our conclusions after such a reevaluation. Enclosed is a copy of the General Accounting Office report, refer- red to in Dr. Becker's letter, on Survey of Progress Toward Construct- ing New Teaching Hospital on Howard University Campus, (B-164031(1), April 3, 1970). As indicated in our letter of transmittal to the Chair- uman, Subcommittee on Departments of Labor and Health, Education* and k Welfare and Related Agencies. Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate, the purpose of our report was to provide information to the Sub- committee on the progress being made toward the construction of a new hospital on the Howard University campus, authorized under legislation enacted in 1961. The survey on which our report was based did not include an appraisal of the adequacy of the hospital construction plans developed by Howard University and agreed tob We7& -ft -inciaiW-pnonsible for administering the Federal interest in the project-the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW), the General Services Adminis- tration (GSA), and the Office of Management and Budget (formerly Bureau of the Budget). Our report did not contain any recommendations.. Following are our comments on Dr. Beckerts letter. COMPARABILITY WITH OTHER HOSPITAL Dr. Becker questioned the statements in our report (p. 10) that the estimated cost of $52.06 per gross square foot for the Howard hospital compared favorably with the average experienced cost of $54.32 per gross square foot for 12 recently completed teaching hospitals. Dr. Becker stated that he presumed that the source of the GSA data on whicb our statements were based was a 1967 teaching hospital construc- tion survey made by the Association of American Medical Colleges %hich eported statistics on hospitals built as far back ts 1964, 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-1971
