      The Honorable Robert A. FroschI1IBIII
      Administrator, National Aeronautics                  108828
        and Space Administration

      Dear Dr. Frosch:

           We have completed our survey of NASA's Facilities
      Utilization Program and are bringing our observations and
      recommendations to your attention. The actions we are
      proposing, if adopted, should produce a more effective
      system for monitoring utilization of facilities.

           Our survey was conducted at NASA Headquarters, the
      Johnson Space Center, and the White Sands Test Facility.
      We discussed the program with NASA staff, reviewed your
      policy and procedural documents, and tested the program's
      implementation at the installation level. Our observations
      were discussed with your staff, and their relevant comments
      and suggestions have been incorporated in this letter.

      REASON FOR SURVEY

           In working with the Subcommittee on Space Science and
      Applications, House Committee on Science and Technology,
      we identified NASA's management of underused, deactivated,
      or inoperable facilities as an area for future study.
      (PSAD-77-78, May 19, 1977.)

           NASA established its Facilities Utilization Program to
      monitor the use of its real property which has a capitalized
      value of over $2.8 billion. NASA's real property consists
      of over 136,000 acres of land and over 3,000 buildings which
      contain about 32 million gross square feet of space. NASA
      also controls over 280,000 acres of land which is held under
      permit, easement, lease, or other interests. The program's
      purpose is to strengthen the system for conducting annual
      facilities utilization reviews and to develop a building
      space management system to best utilize these facilities.


                                                         PSAD-79-53
                                                         (952218)
