Some of the findings and recommendations of the Bahcall Committee in the area of computing are reviewed. The Committee's deliberations on this subject were in large measure guided by the separate report of a subsidiary Panel on Astronomical Computing. Major recommendations of the Astronomy and Astrophysics Survey Committee and its Panel on Astronomical Computing regarding computation are summarized. Among the recommendations are the suggestion that digital data archives, encompassing ground-based and space-based observations, should be established and made available over high-speed national networks; that individual workstations and departmental mini-supercomputers should be acquired, providing a distributed network for astronomical computing; that the NSF should encourage the development of high-speed national networks by funding links to widely-used observatories; and that NASA should increase its role in furthering the development of community software and standards.
