BY THE U,S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE

Report To The Director, International

Communication Agency






U.S. Government Exchange Programs Are

Not Being Coordinated In Japan And India




As part of Presidential Reorganization Plan No.
2 of 1977 and the Executive order implement-
ing it, the U.S. International Communication
Agency was charged with the responsibility to                          114763
coordinate the international information, edu-
cational, cultural and exchange programs con-
ducted by the U.S. Government. This report
evaluates the agency's progress in Japan and
India to fulfill the Presidential mandate.


GAO concluded that the agency missions in
the two countries were not coordinating ex-
change programs of all U.S. Government a-
gencies and that coordination activities in the
two countries remained essentially unchanged
from those operating prior to the issuance of
the Presidential mandate. GAO believes it es-
sential that the U.S. International Commu-
nication Agency define the limits of the Exec-
utive order.
GAO recommends that the Director of the
U.S. International Communication Agency
draw up and implement a plan to achieve co-
ordination in U.S. Government exchange pro-
grams. At a minimum, the plan should pre-
scribe which Government programs are to be
included and specific actions to be undertaken
within the missions abroad as well as within
the involved Washington agencies.
