Overview
This report expressed the opinion that basic changes were needed in the Government's overall management system in order to realize substantial savings in the acquisition and use of computer systems by the Federal Government. The GAO stated that the only practicable way in which coordinated management could be practiced to achieve these savings was through the establishment of a small, highly placed central management office in the executive branch of the Government.
