Department Of Agriculture Needs

Leadership In Managing Its

Information Resources


A strong central management office
and greater top management involve-
ment will be necessary if Agriculture
is to provide the leadership and direc-                  115857
tion that is needed for its growing
investment in computer and informa-
tion resources.

The Department must also better plan
for its information resources activi-
ties. Its computer centers must be run
more efficiently, and its control of
and accountability for software devel-
opment must be tightened. Finally,
the Department must place a higher
priority on the security of its infor-
mation resources.

The senior official appointed under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980
should develop an information re-
sources management program for the
Department and its agencies which
would be responsive to GAO's recom-
mendations for improvement.
