Dear Mr. Chairman:

     As you requested by letter dated January 18, 1979, we
are reviewing selected research management activities of
the National Institutes of Health3(NIH). Our review includes
activities of four NIH components: the National Cancer
Institute, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, L4i/Z5
the National Eye Institute; and the National Institute of
Arthritis, Metabolism, and Digestive Diseases.-      5-

     On April 13, 1979, your office asked that we provide
the current results of our work, for use in connection with
planned hearings on NIH programs. As agreed with your
office, we are providing information on

     --how NIH evaluates its research programs and

     --the roles, activities of, and appointments
       to selected advisory groups.

This information is contained in enclosures 1 and 2.

     Because our review is not complete, the observations we
are presenting must be considered as tentative. We have
not fully explored all aspects of the matters discussed,
nor have we formulated conclusions or recommendations per-
taining to these matters. We plan no further distribution
of this report.                                    A
