                 March 24, 1995

                 The Honorable Constance Morella
                 Chairperson, Subcommittee on Technology
                 Committee on Science
                 House of Representatives

                 Dear Madam Chairperson:

                 This letter responds to your request for information on the funding levels for
                 manufacturing extension centers that receive federal funds and the dates they began
                 receiving such funding. These centers offer various services to businesses, such as
                 helping them improve plant layout, product design and development, energy
                 efficiency, and address environmental issues. As agreed with you, we obtained this
                 information from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The
                 information was sent to us from the NIST Budget Office, and we have not
                 independently verified it.

                 The information is presented in the enclosures to this letter. Enclosure I shows
                 centers funded through the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership program.
                 Enclosures 2 and 3 show those funded through the Technology Reinvestment Project
                 (TRP) under the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). These projects are
                 being funded in two rounds. The first round consists of projects funded in fiscal
                 years 1994 and 1995 with funding planned for 1996; the second round consists of
                 projects funded for fiscal year 1995 and planned funding for fiscal year 1996.

                 If you have any questions, please call me at (202) 512-5889.
