               REMARKS BY ELMER B.  STAATS,
       COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED  STATES
                          AT
                   THE CONFERENCE BOARD
               CONFERENCE ON PRODUCTIVITY
                      NEW YORK CITY
                      MAY 23, 1973


 /k  MEASURING AND ENHANCING FEDERAL PRODUCTIVITY--    .



     I was most pleased that this conference of business

leaders would consider it appropriate to invite me--as a

representative of the.Federal Sector-- to join in your

discussions of policies to promote productivity in the nation.

espite  sporadic efforts over the past 35 years, the public

sector has not only been considered unmeasurable in terms of

what it produces but, as one authority has put it, past studies

have assumed a regrettable negative productivity rate in

local, State, and Federal Governments.

     We, in the Federal Government, are acutely aware of the

need for assessing more precisely our performance record; and

to do so in terms that are clear not only to ourselves, but to

the American public.  Our purpose must be to expose both to

top agency management, the Congress, and the public, how well

and how poorly our policies, programs, and managerial practices

are achieving each year the twin goals of effective Government

services while increasing economy and efficiency.
