REPORT BY THE



Comptroller Geineral


OF THE UNITED STATES


Information On Mission And Functions Of

The National Bureau Of Standards






The Subcommittee on Science, Research and Tech-                                   1      H
nology, House Committee on Science and Technol-                                  114977
ogy, was concerned that the Bureau of Standards ap-
peared divided in carrying out its functions under
enabling legislation and subsequent legislative man-
dates and saw a need to hold hearings on the organic
act--the law establishing the Bureau.

GAO identified several matters which the subcom-
mittee may wish to explore during hearings that may
help the Bureau carry out its current and future re-
sponsibilities. These include

      --encouraging Government agencies to have
      others perform that work which the Bureau
      is performing but others can do,

      --limiting Bureau services provided to industry
      which are available elsewhere,

      --expanding the  research  grant program,

      --possible new productivity and innovation
      research roles, and

      --increasing use of the joint Bureau/university
      restearch institute concept.
