BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Stronger Federal Effort Needed To Foster

Private Sector Productivity


114551


Declining growth in U.S. productivity is a se-
rious national issue that fuels inflation and re-
duces our standard of living and international
competitiveness.  Recognizing the need for
Federal action to improve productivity, the
President established the National Productiv-
ity Council in 1978.

In over two years of existence the Council
has been relatively inactive, has largely ignored
the functions assigned to it, and has lacked
;support.

A need still exists for a productivity organiza-
tion to effectively guide and coordinate Fed-
eral programs aimed at improving national pro-
ductivity, and work with the private sector to
develop a national productivity plan. This or-
ganization should be established by legislation,
with a Presidentially appointed Chairperson
and its own budget authorization. To be effec-
tive, it must have the strong support of the
President and the Congress.
