              COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS

                   HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We appear today to discuss the report (AFMD-81-33) on our review

of the reservation and aJard of

contracts to Arcata Associates, Incj-(Arcata). At your request, we

sought to determine

     --whether the allegations made by the BDM Services Company

       (BDM) to the Small Business Administration (SBA) are valid

       and

     --to what extent SBA's management of the 8(a) program is

       deficient in this situation.

     On December 4, 1980, we briefed your office on the results of

our review and, at your request, have provided our written report

on March 23, 1981. In addition to your inquiry, the BDM allegations

have become the focus of an investigation by the SBA Inspector
