                       on

        Status of the Use of Productivity Data
                in the Budget Process

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Task Force:

     We are here today at your request to discuss the use

of productivity data in the Federal budget process. Your

letter of May 6, 1977, requested that we survey this area;

we have done so and I will discuss the results of our effort

during my testimony this morning.

     Although productivity data is being used in varying

degrees in the budget process, it can and should be used

much more. It can be an extremely useful resource allocation

tool for the Congress, executive branch management, and budget


reviewers at all levels.
