                           BEFORE THE
            HOUSE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
        SUBCOMMITTEE ON SCIENCE, RESEARCH. AND TECHNOLOGY


Dear Mr. Chairman:

     You have asked us here today as you consider HR 10859, a

bill with three broad purposes: (1) to establish a materials

policy for the United States; (2) to promote a more effective

materials research and development capability; and (3) to

provide an organizational structure for the effective applica-

tion of such capability.

      We have just completed a study which bears directly on the

second purpose -- improving the effectiveness of national

materials R&D. We have underway other work which, when com-

pleted later this year, should provide the basis for informed

GAO commentary on the first and third purposes of the Bill.

Today, however, I want to focus my testimony on materials R&D

information management, based on our report which is in final

preparation. That report will be issued within the next few

weeks and we hope that the Subcommittee will find it helpful in

its consideration of the subject legislation.
