                                               APR 14 1976


The Honorable James  T. Clarke
Assistant Secretary  for Management
U.S. Department  of the Interior,

Dear Mr. Clarke:

     We have  been studying management procedures for
assuring adherence  to the Government policy requiring,
under most circumstances,  the acquisition of compact and
subcompact passenger  vehicles to conserve fuel  (GAO Code
943434).  We made  our Government-wide study at the
Department of  the Interior, the General Services Admin-
istration  (GSA), several other civil agencies, and the
Department of Defense.   Within the Department of the
Interior, we met  with responsible headquarters officials
of the National  Park Service (NPS), Fish and Wildlife
Service  (FWS), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and
Bureau of Reclamation  (BR).  We reviewed vehicle manage-
ment policies  and procedures and vehicle acquisitions
for fiscal year  1975.


     Our study  identified several areas which
given added attention  by Department officials
ment of the vehicle  fleets in the bureaus and
can be improved.   We observed that there is a

services
need


--to improve the process  for evaluating
  justifications for  large size law
  enforcement vehicles,

--to improve procedures  for acquiring
  vehicles and maintaining  vehicle
  inventory records,  and

--to disseminate,  throughout the Depart-
  ment, results of  the Bureau of Reclama-
  tion's test program  for compact pickup
  trucks.
