          LCOMPUTERS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING IN THE
               WORLD OF TODAY AND TOMORROWJ


     I am pleased to have the opportunity to address this

conference and to commend the American Society of Civil

Engineers for increasing the engineering community awareness

to the development and use of computers to the practice of

civil engineering.

     Obviously, great effort must continue to be concentrated

on improving the state-of-the-art of applying computers to

the civil engineering field.

     GAO has developed a deep appreciation of the

contribution that engineers make in terms of increasing

not only the quantity of goods and services we produce,

but also the quality of the lives we lead.  The challenges

of coping with the energy crisis, controlling inflation,

accelerating the rate of technological innovation, and

improving our productivity impose particularly heavy

demands on the analytical tools and the problem-solving

capabilities of the Nation's engineers.
