     We are pleased to be here today to discuss our work re-

lated to procurement of and reimbursement for prescription

drugs by the Federal Government and related matters.

     Among the matters we will comment on are:

     --The conclusions and recommendations contained in our

       recently issued report to the Congress entitled How

       to Improve the Procurement and Supply of Drugs in

       the Federal Government (B-164031(2), dated

       December 6, 1973).

     --Status of Federal efforts to promote the use of

       formularies and encourage the use, where appropriate,

       of lower priced drugs, including generics.
