Dear Mr. Secretary:


Subject:


Followup on Actions To Improve Coordination
and Utilization of Human Resources Research
and Development (FPCD-81-62)


      Investments in human resources research and development
have often produced substantial benefits in terms of improved
safety, military readiness, and operating efficiency.  in
1977, we reported that the Department of Defense (DOD) needed
to improve its management of the use of human resources re-
search and development results. I/ We recently completed a
limited examination of the actions taken by each of the serv-
ices and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to
coordinate and increase the use of human resources research
and development. Although they have taken many positive ini-
tiatives, OSD needs to insure that these initiatives are car-
ried out and that other improvements to researc& coordination
and utilization are made.

OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY

      To identify the actions taken to coordinate and encour-
 age the use of human resources research and development, we
 interviewed key personnel within the Office of the Assistant
-Secretary of D Zanse (OASD) (Manpower, Reserve Affair- and
Logistics (MRLA&L)) and the Office of the Under Secretary of




i/4lmtan Resources Research and Development Results Can Be
   Better Managed (FPCD-77-43, Apr. 22, 1977).
