                           General Provision

       Sec. 301.  It is the sense of Congress that the National 
     Aeronautics and Space Administration should not continue to 
     implement the consolidation of procurement and human resource 
     services, as recommended by the Technical Capabilities 
     Assessment Team, until the Comptroller General of the United 
     States completes--
       (1) an analysis of the business case resulting in the 
     relocation of procurement services under the consolidation; 
     and
       (2) an assessment whether the relocation of procurement 
     services would enable the Field Centers of the Administration 
     to leverage for research full-time employees who would revert 
     to the Centers under the consolidation.
                                 ______
