The purpose of the hearing reported is to obtain testimony from key officials of the executive branch and from representatives of the voluntary computer standards effort, as to the progress that has been made in the implementation of Public Law 89-306. (For the committee report see LI 003 853.) Interest of the hearing is particularly oriented to the problems that have been encountered as this Government-wide coordinated system of management has been under implementation over the period of the past five years. The delineation of these problem areas will allow the subcommittee to do whatever is necessary to assure continued improvement in the management and use of the Government's vast inventory of computers.
