 The Honorable William E. Foley
 Lirector, Administrative Office
   of the U.S. Courts

 The Honorable A. Leo Levin
 Director, Federal Judicial
   Center
     We have completed a survey of the acquisition of auto-
matic data processing (ADP) resources by the Federal Judicial
Center and by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
The resources are for use in both research and court case
management

Federal Judicial Center claimed exemption from established
Federal acquisition policies and procedures when acquiring
;DP euipment and services. We also noted that the criminal
case flew management segment of the COURTRAN II system,
which would help facilitate compliance with the Speedy Trial
Act of 1974, has not been widely implemented in the U.S.
courts. Lastly, we noted that automation of the fiscal
operation in the U.S. courts was being considered for only
one U.S. District Court. Such a decision might not result
in competitive acquisition of a standard system for use
nationally.

     Our work on COURTRAN II will cc-itinue; however, we are
providing this interim report to you so that you may have
the opportunity to consider our observations in making
future decisions.

     This report contains recommendations to you. As you
know, section 236 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of
.970 requires the head of a Federal agency to submit a
written statement on actions taken on our recommendations
to the Senate Committee on Governmentai Affairs and the
House Committee on Government Operations not later than
60 days after the date of the report and to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations with the agency's first
request for appropriations made more than 60 days after
the date of the report.
