          REPORT TO THE CONGRESS





          BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

. :. :    OF THE UNITED STATES








          An Organized Approach To

          Improving Federal Procurement

          And Acquisition Practices



          During the past decade, Federal procurement
          and acquisition practices have been under
          extensive review:

              --Numerous congressional hearings.

              --Studies by Comrni _ions and other
              groups.

              --Continuing overview by the Office of
              Federal Procurement Policy.

          Basic new directions in policies are beginning
          to take shape. A new Government-wide
          modern statutory foundation is under active
          consideration by the Congress.

          In this report GAO urges, as have some
          others, establishment of a continuing research
          program to create better Federal procure-
          ment practices and to design and test the
          best ways to carry out new policies. Specific
          uses of such research are discussed, current
          Federal activities are summarized, and an
          organized approach to a Government-wide
          program is illustrated.
