Service scientists use about 73 percent of that capacity and other Fed- eral and State scientists use an additional 10 percent. Meanwhile, new facilities are under construction or are being planned which, when completed, will make the overall use rate even lower unless personnel and funding levels are significantly increased--an event not likely to occur GAO recommends that the Department of Agri- culture develop and submit to the Congress for review and comment a plan to consolidate re- search activities at fewer locations, thereby al- lowing greater scientist interaction and more efficient use of resources. Also, because the Congress has directed the Department to assess long-range agricultural research needs, the Con- gress should consider not authorizing any addi- tional research facilities until the Department has completed its planning process and the Con- gress has had an opportunity to study these plans. Further, when the Congress deliberates on any proposals for new facilities it should con- sider requiring certain personnel and facility information from the Department. 0 , ( '( W 120390 GAO/RCED-83-20 JANUARY 14, 1983
