              GAO's VIEW OF THE FEDERAL ROLE IN
      IMPROVING STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT PRODUCTIVITY

      I am pleased to be here today to address this dis-

tinguished and diverse group of representatives of State and

local governments, employee unions, Federal agencies, national

associations, and public interest groups.  However diverse,

we are all concerned about improving State and local govern-

ment productivity; we are also committed to helping define

the Federal Government's role in carrying out this objective.

I hope that today's workshop will provide some of the critical

information needed by the National Productivity Council to

activate an effective Federal policy and program to help

improve productivity in this important sector of the economy.

     As one who has had a long interest in the subject of pro-

ductivity growth, I am encouraged by the increasing attention

being given to the part which improved productivity can play

in fighting inflation and reducing the cost of Government.
