handle is hein.gao/gaobaawzd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ..~ .~.4 UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFF' WASHINGTON, D.C. 205348 HUMAN REOURCES LM105513 DIVISION B-164031(5) March 28, 1978 The Honorable Elliott H. Levitas House of Representatives Dear Mr. Levitas: In your letter of March 31, 1977, you asked us to evaluate alleged problems in organization, management, and efficient use of Federal funds at the National Medical Audiovisual Center (NMAC) in Atlanta, Georgia. You informed us that you had been receiving reports from NMAC employees alleging problems in these areas. In spite of written inquiries to and reports from officials of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), which is administratively responsible for NMAC, and the Civil Service Commission, you said the allegations had not been satisfactorily confirmed or refuted. You asked us to help resolve allegations concerning at least three areas of NMAC activity. These were employee allegations that: 1. NMAC was incurring excessive costs because it was contracting for audiovisual production rather than producing in-house. 2. NMAC was lax in enforcing contract deadlines and was receiving poor quality work from contractors. 3. NMAC was not fully or productively using its personnel and equipment. Althouqh we found that the first allecation was inappro- priate and lacked perspective, we noted other problems which indicate that NMAC was incurring excessive costs in its contract program. The second and third allegations are essen- tially valid but need to be viewed in the croper perspective. S YRD-78-95 (102027)
