                                ON

                RECENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AT THE
                FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are here today at your request to discuss the inquir-

ies we made into allegations concerning Mr. Fred J. Villella, an

official of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Mr. Villella has been FEMA's Associate Director for Training and

Education since June 11, 1981.  In this position, he has been

responsible for the operation of FEMA's National Emergency

Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland.  On November 21, 1983,

Mr. Villella was also designated as FEMA's Executive Deputy

Director and currently holds both positions.

     Mr. Chairman, our testimony addresses two issues identified

in your letter of March 22, 1984.  First, you asked whether

Mr. Villella had converted building G at FEMA's National Emer-

gency Training Center into eight bedrooms for executives at a

cost of $300,000.  You also requested that we determine whether

Mr. Villella was personally using a Lincoln Continental at

government expense.
