REPORT BY THE U, S.



General Accounting Office






Mission And Functions Of The

National Capital Planning Commission




The National Capital Planning Commission
has 12 members, including Federal and
local government officials and private citi-
zens; a staff of about 50; and an annual
budget of about $2.2 million. Its functions
are aimed at protecting the Federal interest
in the National Capital Region. GAO's report
contains information regarding five specific
areas in which the requestors expressed
interest.

GAO found that the term Federal interest
is an undefined and sometimes controver-
sial term relating to the image, character,
and functioning of Washington, D.C., and its
environs. The views of Federal, State, re-
gional, and local officials contacted by GAO
differed on what the Federal interest is
and how the Commission should protect it.
Absent agreement on a definition of Fed-
eral interest, GAO could not determine the
Commission's effectiveness in carrying out
its planning function.
