       Dear Mr. Beres:    lbwl

            We have completed a study of theperation of inter-
       agency motor pools by the General Serices Administratio/jp
       (GSAf. Our objectives were to (1) evaluate the efficiency
       and effectiveness of the motor pools in providing vehicles
       to meet agencies' needs and (2) determine how GSA could
       improve its short term dispatch operations to decrease the
       millions of dollars spent by agency travelers to commercially
       rent vehicles.

            We found several aspects of motor pool operations that
       should be improved and warrant your attention. For example,
       the following problems were noted at the Washington, D.C.,
       motor pool:

            --Inconvenient locations and restricted hours of opera-
              tion may discourage use of motor pool vehicles.

            --Procedures and practices on use and billing for sub-
              stitute vehicles need improvement.

            --Monitoring of motor pool operations could be improved.

            Our review was performed at GSA Headquarters; Region 3's
       motor pool in Washington, D.C.; the Honolulu motor pool in
Oilt~O1 Region 9; and the Vancouver, Seattle, and Boise motor pools
       in Region 10.

            This report concerns primarily the operations of the
       Washington motor pool in GSA Region 3. Separate reports con-
       cerning the motor pools reviewed in GSA Regions 9 and 10 were
       issued to the respective regional administrators.
