  CHARLES A. BOWSHER, COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES

                        PRESENTED TO THE

        RESEARCH INSTRUMENTATION NEEDS OF UNIVERSITIES


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     This statement describes the status of our work on the research

instrumentation needs of U.S. universities.  We are conducting this

work in response to a letter from Chairman Schmitt (dated July 29,

1981) in which he requested GAO to do a study that:

     --analyzes studies and other relevant data to determine the
       causes and factors which influence the need for research
       equipment by universities; and

     --identifies and evaluates options available for equipping
       university laboratories, including Federal programs, al-
       ternative financing plans, and depreciation schedules and
       tax incentives.

In this statement we will discuss our work to date on the first half

of this request.

BACKGROUND:  UNIVERSITIES AND INSTRUMENTATION

     Under the present organization of the U.S. research and develop-

ment effort, universities conduct the major share of basic research.
