     RESOURCES,  COMMUNITY, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION

                            BEFORE THE
          SUBCOMMITTEE  ON INVESTIGATIONS AND OVERSIGHT,

                                ON

         USE OF  FEDERALLY SUPPORTED RESEARCH FACILITIES

MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS  OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE: ,

     We are here  today at the request of the Subcommittee to

discuss the joint use of  federally supported research facilities

by industry and universities.   You asked us to explore with you

how a stronger  industry/university relationship would increase,

as an example, the viability  of the Agricultural Research Serv-

ice's (ARS) cotton gin  laboratory at New Mexico State

University.

     This testimony  is based on our report, Federal Agricul-

tural Research Facilities Are Underused,  issued on January 14,

1983  (GAO/RCED-83-20). Although  our work did not include the

cotton gin laboratory, we believe  that the issues addressed in

our report are relevant to  the focus of your hearing.

     In our report we concluded  that many of ARS' 148 domestic

research locations were not  staffed to their designed

capacity--a condition which makes  individual research projects

more expensive.
