CHAIRMAN MAZZOLI, CHAIRMAN STUCKEY AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE:

     WE ARE HERE TODAY TO COMMENT ON THE WASHINGTON METROPOL-

ITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY'S METRO RAIL SYSTEM. WE WILL SUM-

MARIZE THE FINDINGS OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED REPORTS, REMEDIAL ACTION

BY THE TRANSIT AUTHORITY, AND COMMENT ON OUR CURRENT WORK.

PRIOR REPORTS

     FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS FOUR PRIOR GAO REPORTS ON THE

RAIL SYSTEM.

     IN MARCH 1974, WE ISSUED A REPORT TO THE CONGRESS ON NEEDED

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TRANSIT AUTHORITY'S SYSTEM OF REPORTING ON

THE STATUS OF METRO'S COST AND CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS. WE FOUND

THAT COST AND CONSTRUCTION STATUS REPORTS PREPARED BY THE TRANSIT

AUTHORITY AND SUBMITTED TO ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS DID NOT FULLY

IDENTIFY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN METRO'S:
                                        C Td
