GAO          United States
             General Accounting Office

             May 5, 1994


             The Honorable Joseph I. Lieberman
             Chairman
             The Honorable Thad Cochran
             Ranking Minority Member
             Subcommittee on Regulation
                and Government Information
              Committee on Governmental Affairs
              United States Senate


              In response to your request and subsequent discussions with
              your office, we determined the status of the Bureau of the
              Census's planning for its new high performance computing
              center. Census plans to locate this center at the University
              of Maryland's Science and Technology Center in Bowie,
              Maryland. Our objective was to provide information on the
              status of the Bowie computer center's development.

              To determine the status, we reviewed relevant documents,
              including the General Services Administration's (GSA) 1990
              Prospectus Development Study for a new Census Bureau computer
              facility and associated office space at the existing Suitland
              Federal Center; a 1992 GSA prospectus proposing construction
              of a Census Bureau computer facility in Bowie, Maryland; a
              1994 study, The Applicability of High Performance Computing
              at the U.S. Bureau of the Census, by Advanced Resource
              Technologies, Incorporated; and draft memoranda of agreement
              between the Census Bureau and University of Maryland covering
              the Bowie computer center's operations and facility. We
              interviewed Census Bureau officials from the Administrative
              and Publication Services Division, Computer Services Division,
              Information Systems Planning Office, and Information Systems
              Support Office at the Census Bureau's headquarters in
              Suitland, Maryland. We also interviewed GSA officials, and
              officials from the University of Maryland's Computer Science
              Center and Office of the President.
