Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We appreciate'the opportunity to appear before your subcommittee in

connection with H.R. 16443. This bill deals with the Government's pro-

curement of architect-engineer services, which has been of interest for

some time to the General Accounting Office. We would like to briefly

provide this committee with the background of our involvement in this

subject.

     On June 16, 1965, we issued a report to the Congress entitled
Noncompliance with Statutory Limitation on Amount Allowable for

Architectural-Engineering Services for the Design of a Facility at the

Nuclear Rocket Development Station, Nevada, wherein we reported that

the fee payable under a particular architect-engineer contract awarded

by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration exceeded the appli-

cable statutory 6-percent limitation.
