 Processing Alternatives To Improve Cost

 Effectiveness And Productivity


 Word processing systems are essential to the
 offices of U.S. Senators who respond annually
 to over 11 million letters from their constit-
 uents. The annual cost for equipment and per-
 sonnel to develop and process responses is esti-
 mated at over $28 million.

 The word processing systems now used by
 the Senate may not be the best to meet this
 workload. In the past 5 years, significant
 technological developments have produced
 some very powerful and flexible new systems.
 These new systems have the potential to help
 the Senate meet its growing correspondence
 workload, while at the same time reduce its
 word processing costs.

 The Senate should delay its planned purchase
 of the present computer-based word processing
 system until it thoroughly analyzes available
 alternatives.
