       Mr. James B. King
       Chairman, National Transportation /4eO4(J
         Safety Board

      Dear Mr. King:

           Subject: I     Transportation Safety Board Could Improve
                      Its Planning Process7(CED-80-101)

           We have reviewed the National Transportation Safety
      Board's planning process and concluded that it could estab-
      lish one that is more effective and comprehensive. We be-
      lieve the Board needs better planning in order to

           --tie together its various functions to accomplish its
             mission, goals, and objectives;

           --identify and justify its resource needs;

           --measure its effectiveness in fulfilling its mission,
             goals, and objectives; and

           --identify weak or ineffective programs or activities
             that need to be improved or eliminated.

      BOARD FUNCTIONS

           The Independent Safety Board Act of 1974 (Lq r-S.C.
      1901 note) established the National Transportation Safety
      Board as an independent Government agency to promote trans-
      portation safety by investigating accidents and recommending
      safety improvements. Under the act, the Board was to:

           --Investigate and report on certain accidents in each
             transportation mode.

           --Conduct special studies and investigations on
             transportation safety issues.

           --Publish recommended procedures for investigating
             accidents.

                       r(341019)
