Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are releasing today a report to the Congress on &ederal

Materials Rese rch and Development3. Modernizing Institutions and

Management.' Our study was initiated at the request of the Sub-
committee Chairman and Senator Brock, Senate members of the

National Commission on Supplies and Shortages. pc   05

                          BACKGROUND

     I testified last year at joint hearings by the Senate

Committees on Commerce and Government Operations on S. 3209,

a bill to establish a National Resource Information System.

At that time I pointed out GAO concerns with the implications

of materials shortages, and stated that the systems that do

exist are not generally geared to serving broad national pro-

gram objectives. I specifically recommended that the U.S.

Government should have

     --(I) a coordinated system for commodity and resource

           analysis,                         I    }UF-- ocoyX
