Sbtsmg, A REPORT BY THE Comptroller General OF THE UNITED STATES Implementation Of The National Minerals And Materials Policy Needs Better Coordination And Focus When the Congress passed the National Materials and Minerals Policy, Research and Development Act of 1980, it expected that the generally ad hoc decision and policy coordination used to develop and implement national minerals and materials policy would be replaced by a more formal mechanism. The act also assigned reporting requirements to the President and several agencies. GAO has been monitoring and evaluating the admin- istration's implementation of the 1980 act. In this report, the last of three, GAO concludes that, while the administration has started to implement the act, --the mechanism established by the administration to ensure timely, high-level consideration of important minerals and materials policy issues has not provided the continuous decision and policy coordination required by the act and --the administration's response to the act's multiple reporting requirements has focused primarily on national security without adequately addressing the act's other two policy goals of economic well- being and industrial production. GAO makes recommendations that address these issues. ,D S7PII 11111 II liii II 123775 C', GAO/RCED-84-63 MARCH 20, 1984 -ICOU S$
