This report is based on hearings that the subcommittee held on July 1, 1970, entitled "Economy in Government Property Management--Procurement of Data Processing Equipment" as well as General Accounting Office and General Services Administration reports. It focuses upon the phenomenal growth in the use of automatic data processing equipment by the Government and the adequacy of existing policies for the efficient procurement and management of these resources. Both the report and the hearings are part of the subcommittee's continuing interest in the efficient procurement and management of government property. (Author)
