APPROPRIATIONS AND ESTIMATES Appropriations for most military functions of the Department of Defense are provided for in the accompanying bill for the fiscal year 1982. This bill does not provide for military assistance, mili- tary construction, military family housing, or civil defense, which requirements are considered in connection with other appropri- ation bills. The new budget (obligational) authority enacted for the fiscal year 1981, the Presidents budget estimates, as amended by House Documents 97-29, 97-61, 97-94, 97-101 and Senate Document 97-8, and amounts recommended by the Committee for the fiscal year 1982 appear in summary form in the following table beginning on page 2: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89MOO61OR000100040004-8 g 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 0 0. %> %> %> ~ C> ~ tO ~ V7 0 00 N C' N 0 -!

The amounts recom- mended by the Committee in the accompanying bill total $196,607,809,000 in new obligational authority and $73,900,000 in transfers from other accounts for a total funding availability of $196,681,709,000. The total obligational authority recommended is $4,196,525,000 less than the budget estimates and is $25,026,944,000 more than the sums made available for the same purposes for fiscal year 1981. The $196.7 billion recommended is the largest sum ever included in one bill for military purposes in the history of the country. The magnitude of the increase in Defense funding is even greater than that indicated by the above amounts because a large supple- mental request and appropriation for fiscal year 1981 which was enacted late in the fiscal year substantially increased the base. The regular annual Department of Defense Appropriation Bill for Fiscal Year 1981 provided $159.7 billion. Thus, the fiscal year 1982 Defense Appropriation Bill as reported by the House is $37.0 billion higher than the similar bill enacted into law last year. The fiscal year 1981 Supplemental included $11.6 billion in addition to the $159.7 billion. Of that amount, $6.9 billion was for Defense pro- grams and $4.7 billion was for pay raise costs. The inclusion of such pay raise costs in a supplemental bill is customary but the appropriation of substantial sums for program purposes is not. The program funds in the supplemental may be included along with the increase proposed in, fiscal year 1982 in order to more fully under- stand the recent increase in Defense funding levels of some $44.0 billion. It is anticipated that similar pay increase supplemental requests will be made for fiscal year 1982. To the extent that they are, the difference between the fiscal year 1981 and fiscal year 1982 funding availability for the Defense Department will be increased. The Committee encountered considerable difficulty in processing the annual Defense Appropriation Bill. There was a substantial amendment increasing the Defense budget in April. There were other smaller amendments and in October there was submitted a substantial decrease in defense funding estimates. The impact of a major ($7.6 billion) decrease after the beginning of the new fiscal year had an adverse impact on the ability of the Committee to report the bill at the time it desired to do so. The same amendment had an adverse effect on the completion of the already tardy annual authorization bill. Once again, the authorization bill. had not been enacted at the time of the Committee mark-up on the appropriation bill. This, of course, makes the work of the Commit- tee extremely difficult. The Committee again recommends $750 million in general trans- fer authority to the Department of Defense. Recognizing that there are changing Defense requirements and circumstances during the year, the Committee has found that the provision of such general transfer authority gives the Department the ability to react in a timely way to unforseen program changes. As has been true in the past, these transfers are to be handled through the regular repro- gramming process. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R0001000A 5 INFLATIONARY IMPACT STATEMENT The bill reported will provide $196,607,809,000. this is an increase of $25,026,944,000 over the amount appropriated for similar pur- poses for fiscal year 1981. It is also $4,195,525,000 below the budget request for fiscal year 1982. The appropriation as proposed by the Committee should not cause inflation to as great an extent than would enactment of the budgeted amount. The real growth in Defense spending will have little inflationary effect in comparison to the forecasted $3,312 billion gross national product for 1982. This statement is made pursuant to Clause 2(A)(4), rule XI of the House of Representatives. TRANSFER OF FUNDS Pursuant to clause 1(b), rule X of the House of Representatives, the following is submitted describing the transfer of funds provided in the accompanying bill. The Committee recommends transfers of prior year unobligated balances to fiscal year 1982 totaling $73,900,000. These transfers are made from funds appropriated in fiscal years 1979 and 1981 and are no longer required for the purposes for which appropriated as a result of Department of Defense decisions, Congressional denial of reprogramming requests, or Committee recommendations. The Committee recommends a transfer of $15,100,000 from the fiscal year 1979 Shipbuilding and conversion, Navy appropriation. This transfer is from unobligated balances in the Trident subma- rine program. The Committee recommends a transfer of $58,000,000 from the fiscal year 1981 Shipbuilding and conversion, Navy appropriation. This transfer is from unobligated balances in the maritime preposi- tioning ship programs. The Committee recommends a transfer of $800,000 from the fiscal year 1981 Other procurement, Air Force appropriation. This transfer is explained in the classified annex to this report. The following table shows the titles and appropriations affected by the transfers: Shipbuilding and conversion, Navy .......................... $73,100,000 Shipbuilding and conversion, Navy, 1979/83......... $15,100,000 Shipbuilding and conversion, Navy, 1981/85......... 58,000,000 Other procurement, Air Force .................................. 800,000 Other procurement, Air Force, 1981/83................. 800,000 COMPARISON WITH BUDGET RESOLUTION In accordance with Section 308(a)(1)(A) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-344), the following table pro- vides comparisons between the new budget authority target set forth in the First Concurrent Resolution of the budget, as allocated by the Committee on Appropriations under Section 302 of the Act, and the budget authority contained in the accompanying bill: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 National defense: Thousands Resolution target ........................................................................................... $214,223,000 Committee bill ............................................................................................... 196,607,809 Difference ....................................................................................................... 17,615,191 The Appropriations Committee Sec. 302 allocation assumed a budget authority target for fiscal year 1982 Defense bills of $214,223,000,000.

Note: Unexpended balances for revolving funds, trust funds, and unfunded contract authority are excluded from this table. As shown above, an estimated $97.5 billion balance of unexpend- ed funds was carried into fiscal year 1982 pertaining to the appro- priation accounts provided for in the accompanying bill. Of this amount, about $76.2 billion (unliquidated obligations) represents legally binding documents calling for ultimate cash payment such as contracts for ship, aircraft, or missile construction. (Such major weapons systems are normally funded even though deliveries may not occur for 2 or 3 years, or 5 years in the case of capital ships.) Approximately $21.3 billion of the carryover (unobligated) bal- ances represents amounts which are made available to fund ap- proved programs, but which are not yet obligated in the technical legal sense. By and large these funds are committed to the pro- grams for which initially appropriated awaiting the completion of the contracting or other legal prerequisites of obligation. CHANGES IN APPLICATION OF EXISTING LAW Pursuant to Clause 3 of Rule XXI of the House of Representa- tives, the following statements are submitted describing the effect of provisions which directly or indirectly change the application of existing law. Regarding the Defense Appropriation Bill, the Com- mittee set forth its interpretation of this rule in House Report No. 94-517. That report pointed out that numerous portions of the bill are technically "legislation" but these provisions have been en- acted virtually unchanged for many years. For the benefit of the Members of the House, the Committee is restating the position taken in House Report No. 94-517: There have been several interpretations of the new rule and specifically the phrase, "directly or indirectly changes the application of existing law." Numerous portions of this bill, which have been virtually unchanged for many years, are technically "legislation". To read the new rule as re- quiring that each of these items be described in the report would result in a catalogue of items not significantly more informative than the bill itself. This list would be almost the same, year in and year out. In such a listing new items would be lost among the reenacted provisions and the elimination of long standing items would not be mentioned at all, even though the effect would be significant. The proper interpretation, which the committee believes to be more in accordance with the understanding of the intent of the new rule, requires a description of that "legis- lation" in the fiscal year 1976 bill which is different from the existing currently effective language of the fiscal year 1975 act and hence "changes the application of existing law." This has been the practice of the Appropriations Committee for many years and appears to be the type of reporting to which the sponsor was referring in his floor statement: "The Committee on Appropriations regularly puts such a statement in the Committee on Appropriations bill re- ports, and it does not strike me this is going to constitute an undue burden." This method will provide Congress with a clear state- ment every time any change occurs which might be consid- ered legislation by inclusion of a new provision, or a sig- nificant change in a legislative provision in the previous appropriations act. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Those changes in the fiscal year 1982 bill, which might be inter- preted as changing existing law, are as follows: APPROPRIATION LANGUAGE 1. The proviso has been deleted from the account "National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, Army." This allows the paid subsistence and travel allowance for personnel participating in national rifle matches to revert back to the existing law which provides for a total -of $1.50 per day for subsistence and five cents a mile for travel. 2. Words have been added to Other procurement, Army, which would permit the purchase of vehicles for physical security not- withstanding the price limitations applicable to passenger carrying vehicles. These vehicles are restricted to 14 at a cost not to exceed $100,000 per vehicle. 3. Section 708 has been revised (A) to permit the Department of Defense to make payments for depot maintenance contracts for twelve months beginning at any time during the fiscal year; (B) to permit payment of unusual cost overruns incident to ship overhaul, maintenance, and repair for ships inducted into industrial fund activities or contracted for in prior fiscal year provided that the Secretary of Defense notify the Congress prior to obligation of any such payment; and (C) to permit payments from annual appropri- ations to industrial fund activities and/or under contract for changes in scope of ship overhaul, maintenance, and repair after expiration of such appropriations, for such work either inducted into the industrial fund activities or contracted for in that fiscal year. 4. Section 723 has been revised to prohibit the military clothing sales stores from selling optional uniform items obtained from foreign firms. 5. A proviso has been added to Section 741 which would permit personnel who have separate health insurance which would pay 75 percent of nonemergency inpatient health care to utilize CHAM- PUS for the other 25 percent instead of seeking .a waiver for not utilizing military medical facilities if within a 40 mile radius of the patient's residence. 6. A section contained in last year's bill which prohibited the implementation of the Competitive Rate Program for transporta- tion of household goods to and from Alaska and Hawaii was de- leted. 7. Section 752 has been amended to allow funds appropriated for the CIA Reserve to remain available until September 30, 1983. 8. Section 757 has been revised to prohibit federal funding of abortion except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term. 9. The budget proposed new language which would prevent paying for an increased salary based upon a teacher having ob- tained an educational level of fifteen additional hours of education beyond a bachelor's degree. This language is included as Section 769. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 12 1O.:The budget dget proposed new language which~would imposeja~4.8 percent pay cap on the teachers in the system during the school year 1981-1982. This language is included as Section 770. 11. The budget proposed new language which would prevent an adjustment in teachers' pay in excess of 4.8 percent for August and September 1981. The language as amended to , include August through December is included as Section 771.. 12. Section 772 has been added to insure the. full participation of the Appropriations Committees in decisions to initiate multiyear contracts for major weapons systems. 13. Section 773 has been added to eliminate the loopholes in the . language contained in the FY 1981 supplemental act which pre- cludes funds appropriated from being available to reimburse de- fense contractors for the cost of commercial insurance which would cover the cost of correcting the contractors' own defects in materi- als and workmanship incident to the normal course of construction. 14. Section 774 has been added to permit full reimbursement of subsistence expenses to enlisted personnel in a travel status while prohibiting double payment for the same expenses. 15. Section 775 has been added which would round military retirement service credit to the nearest month for any portion of a year in excess of six months. 16. Section 776 has been added which would limit rental reim- bursement to the General Services Administration to 50 percent of the Standard Level User Charge. 17. Section 777 has been added which would exclude the 5.2, percent active duty catch-up raise from the base for calculating military retired pay. 18. Section 778 has been added to limit the pay of guard and reserve-technicians to $50,112 annually. This is the same level at which all other government employees are capped. 19. Section :.779 has been added which would require the Depart- ment of Defense to notify the Appropriations Committees before they waive RDT&E or other costs related to a foreign military sale. 20. Section'! 780 has been added to prohibit an employee who has been working in Alaska or Hawaii and who is transferred or reas- signed to the United States from continuing to receive the higher Alaska or Hawaii pay rate for two additional years. 21. Section ' 781 has been added to prohibit giving foreign nation- als priority over United States citizens living in a foreign country in filling vacant positions. 22. Section' 782 has been added to insure two additional division sets of Army equipment will not be placed ' in storage in Europe. 23. Section 783 has been added to prohibit the operation of the Army Medical Intelligence and Information Agency after Septem- ber 1, .1982. 24. Section 784 has been added to insure that the status quo is maintained with respect to the Department of Defense dependents school system pending Congressional action on the proposal to repeal the transfer of the system to the Department of Education. The provision would prohibit funding of the activities of the Advi- sory Council on Dependents' Education. 25. Section 785 has been added to insure that the Secretary of Defense is charged to administer the funds provided for operation of section 6 schools.

Section 786 has been added to allow wage board employees in the Wichita, Kansas, area to have their wages fully updated after the current wage survey is completed. There is some indication that due to a previously incomplete wage survey, rates paid to, government employees in this area are somewhat below prevailing rates. 27. Section 787 has been added to permit the Department of, Defense to lease no more than six aircraft as suitable replacements for the C-140 aircraft. 28. Section 788 has been added to prohibit the transfer of any ri article of military equipment or data related to the manufacture of such equipment to a foreign country prior to the approval in writ- ing by the Secretary of the service concerned. 29. Section 789 has been added to restrict funds made available for the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition to be used only for implementation of phase II under a reissued Department of Defense Directive 5160.65, after January 1, 1982. 30. Section, 790 has been added to prohibit the purchase of ad- ministrative motor vehicles that are manufactured outside the United States or Canada unless the contractor was selected through competitive bidding without a price differential. 31. Section 791 has been added to require notification of Appropri- ations Committee for any transfer of funds between Department of Defense and Central Intelligence Agency for activities different from that previously justified to the Congress. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 TITLE I MILITARY PERSONNEL ESTIMATES AND APPROPRIATION SUMMARY Virtually every activity of the Department of Defense and mili- tary services requires both military and civilian personnel as well as support funding. Therefore, many of the actions taken in the military personnel appropriations affect the operation and mainte- nance appropriations and vice versa. In most instances, the interre- lationships between the two appropriations are identified where applicable. Appropriations made under this title finance the programs iden- tified briefly below: Pay and Allowances.-Funds are provided for the pay and allow- ances of active duty officers and enlisted personnel, and cadets at the military academies. Pay and allowances include basic pay; incentive pay, special pay to physicians, dentists, veterinarians, divers, and others; basic allowances for quarters and subsistence; station allowances overseas; uniform and clothing allowances; sepa- ration payments; social security contributions; and enlistment and reelistment bonuses. Subsistence of Enlisted Personnel.-Funds are provided for the feeding of enlisted personnel, including both the basic allowance for subsistence and subsistence-in-kind. Permanent Change of Station Travel.-Funds provide for perma- nent change of station travel for military personnel, either as individuals or as organized units, including transportation; per diem allowances; travel of dependents; transportation of household goods; port handling charges; dislocation allowances; nontemporary storage of household goods; minor supplies and services incident to organizational movement; expenses of separation travel; temporary duty directly related to permanent change of station; and junior enlisted travel entitlements. Other Military Personnel Costs.-Funds are also provided for other military personnel costs which include apprehension of mili- tary deserters, interest on personal savings deposits, Servicemen's Group Life Insurance and death gratuities. The accompanying bill provides $37,447,290,000 for military per- sonnel costs in fiscal year 1982 a decrease of $1,212,470,000 from the budget estimate of $38,659,760,000. The amount recommended for fiscal year 1982 is $575,090,000 more than the $36,872,200,000 appropriated in fiscal year 1981 including the fiscal year 1981 supplemental appropriations but excluding projected supplemental requests for fiscal year 1982. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-R?P89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89MOO61OR0001000400 15 PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION (PCS) WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE In fiscal year 1982, the Department of Defense will spend ap- proximately $3 billion on movement of military personnel and their household goods from one duty assignment to another. With a projected force of 2.1 million military personnel, the Committee estimates that on average the Department will move two out of every three of these personnel on a permanent change of station move during the course of the year. This excludes changes in assignments at a given installation and includes only those person- nel that must pack up their household goods and families and move from one station to another. The Federal Government spends almost $4 billion a year on travel. Of that amount, 65 percent will be spent by the Department of Defense of which approximately 30 percent is for personnel permanent change of station costs alone. According to a letter dated July 30, 1981, sent by the President to the heads of executive departments and agencies, "although most of this travel is required to carry out agency programs, instances of mismanagement and wasteful spending have continued to surface over the years." The Committee estimates that the management changes directed by the President will save $40 million in fiscal year 1982 and has there- fore included a reduction in that amount. The Committee believes that the President's estimated $40 mil- lion in savings is much less than is feasible through better manage- ment procedures. For example, the Department of Defense's own audit services document that- Carriers suspended for poor performance are still awarded contracts; Erroneous and duplicate obligations are made on the books; Claims for reimbursement are not always made against non- performing carriers; Shipments are not weighed by DOD personnel as called for in their own regulations; There is poor utilization of Government facilities for storing household goods at a time when additional storage facilities are being procured through commercial markets; Personnel are sent back to the United States from overseas tours with only one or two months left before leaving the service; and Realignment of personal property shipping offices would pro- duce substantial savings through elimination of duplication. The Committee estimates that correction of these clear manage- ment deficiencies would produce enormous savings. However, the Committee is only making an additional token reduction of $15 million in fiscal year 1982 as a first increment of savings that is expected to accrue. The Department of Defense submits the budget to Congress ap- proximately nine months before the beginning of the fiscal year. As a result, the budget contains a number of projections that may or may not be entirely accurate. In the case of permanent change of station costs, the numbers included in the fiscal year 1982 budget for fuel and carrier rates will be less than projected. As a result, an Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 additional $40.7 million in savings is available and a reduction is recommended in that amount. Every year the Committee inquires during hearings on military personnel PCS requirements as to the true need to have two out of every three military personnel make permanent duty changes every year. The problem is compounded in these hearings by the very fact that so many of the Generals and Admirals appear one year at the Committee's hearings only to be replaced by someone different the following year. The Committee has calculated that this movement of personnel is so pervasive that 41 percent of the Department of Defense's Generals and Admirals move from one town to another every year even when excluding from this total those that move as a part of their retirement from military service. Moreover, internal Navy documents state that fleet morale could be drastically improved and a ten percent savings could be pro- duced by implementing an aggressive program called "Home Port- ing" whereby the Navy makes a commitment to return sailors for their periodic shore duty to the same town. The Committee is therefore deleting a total of $74.5 million from the Permanent Change of Station request and directing that the Department im- plement during fiscal year 1982 a plan to reduce the number of PCS moves by at least two percent with a goal of reducing the number of moves eventually by five percent. The Committee believes that the total of all of the above reduc- tions of $170.2 million is reasonable in view of the $3 billion re- quest and the potential for vast savings through reduced moves and improved management as documented by the Department of Defense itself. Less than four months ago, the PCS mileage reimbursement approximately doubled, increasing from 70 to 13? per mile. The Department of Defense is now requesting that it be increased to 160 per mile at an additional cost of $46.3 million in fiscal year 1982 alone. The Committee has reviewed the justification for DoD's increase of 16? per mile and has concluded that 130 remains the maximum amount necessary to fully reimburse military personnel for incre- mental expenses incurred in operating their personal vehicles while undergoing a permanent change of station move. In fact, much of the supporting material that the Committee has received from the Pentagon is misleading in terms of what is a fair reim- bursement level. Contrary to information provided by DoD: According to the American Automobile Association, the cost to operate a six cylinder vehicle is only 8.2~ per mile.. Civilian government employees undergoing a permanent change of station move are reimbursed at a rate which begins at only 80 per mile. Internal Revenue Service estimates 9~ per mile as a fair expense for charitable or medical expenses. IRS estimates that business activity deductions range from 110 to 204 per mile. The proposal by the Department would permit such expenses as insurance and interest on car loans to be included as an "operating Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89MOO61OR0001000400 expense" incurred while undergoing a change of station move. This is clearly not the case since these expenses would be incurred whether the military member changes duty stations or not. In most cases, even licenses and taxes will not change since most military members do not change their home of record nor licensing of automobiles when undergoing a permanent change of station move. Finally, the argument for allowing full depreciation on a mileage basis is not fully justified since the AAA documentation supplied by the Department of Defense assumes all people undergoing a permanent change of station move are driving brand new cars. The Committee is therefore deleting the $46.3 million requested in the budget and directing that the reimbursement rate is to be no more than 130 per mile. The Committee also directs that the Department establishes a formula which will equitably reimburse military personnel with full recovery of all gas and oil, mainte- nance, tires, an equitable portion of license and taxes, and an equitable portion of depreciation not to exceed 50 percent of the full amount of depreciation which would be allowed if all personnel were driving brand new cars. The Army has agreed that the budget request for Temporary Lodging Allowance is overstated by $14.0 million. The Committee has, therefore, included a reduction in that amount. WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE Since the founding of the Republic one of the major benefits to military personnel has been the Government's commitment to pro- vide an adequate level of subsistence for the troops. Historically this has taken the form of food-in-kind, but in more recent years due to changes in both life styles and military requirements there has been a shift to cash payments in lieu of food for many military personnel. In fiscal year 1982 (including the recent military pay increase), the Committee estimates $2.6 billion will be spent for all types of subsistence support for military personnel. As a basis for comparison, it would take roughly all of the receipts to the Treas- ury for taxes on either tobacco or airports and airways just to fund the military subsistence program for the year. Because of the size of this program and the reductions made to other agriculture and food subsidy programs for fiscal year 1982, it is incumbent upon the Department of Defense to insure that the military subsistence program is properly managed at all levels of the Department of Defense. It was therefore with great concern that the Committee reviewed 17 different Department of Defense audit reports published within the last year and a half that docu- ment a total of at least $100 million in subsistence that is lost through waste, fraud and abuse. These audits document thievery, poor control of mess passes, poor mess hall head counting, foreign national personnel not being charged for food eaten, excessive sub- sistence stockage, free issuance of flight meals to unentitled person- nel, excessive number of dining facility attendents, and inadequate Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 dining facility cash control procedures. The Committee is con- cerned not only over the exceedingly poor management, but also over the clear lack of strong enforcement procedures rectifying these instances of documented poor management and even illegal- ities by Department of Defense personnel and contractors. The Committee expects strong enforcement measures to be implement- ed, and directs the Department to submit a report no later than April 30, 1982 which lays out a clearly defined plan to reduce the number of instances of waste, fraud and abuse in the subsistence area and also the number of arrests and prosecutions under way as a result of strong enforcement measures. Traditionally, the year during which military personnel receive large pay raises there is a decrease in military mess hall attend- ance as personnel decide to (and are more able to) eat out on the local economy. In addition, a strong dollar overseas traditionally represents a decrease in mess hall attendance since a stronger dollar translates into a real increase in income for military person- nel assigned to foreign installations. Nevertheless, the Department of Defense has not budgeted properly to reflect this decrease in mess hall attendance which will most certainly occur during fiscal year 1982 resulting in a significant overstatement of the budget request. Every year thousands of military personnel eat in dining halls of other services. This occurs commonly through joint use of facilities as well as military personnel of one service traveling to an installa- tion of another for business purposes. Despite the fact that a member of, say, the Air Force eating at an Army installation would be eating the same portions side by side with his fellow enlisted personnel from the Army, the Army has budgeted more funds for feeding the member of a different service than they have for their own personnel. Under questioning by the Committee the Army admitted that it costs no more to feed a member of a differ- ent service in one of its mess halls than it does to feed one of its own members and therefore the budget submission for this particu- lar item of subsistence is overstated. Two years ago the Committee made an extensive review of DoD's subsistence budgeting procedures and concluded that the current system is illogical at best since actual consumption plays no part in the budget estimate. In the fiscal year 1980 report on the Defense budget request, the Committee reached the following conclusions: Enlisted military personnel are entitled by law to re- ceive a nutritionally adequate ration as part of their over- all compensation package. To implement this entitlement, the Department of Defense provides each dining facility manager a dollar credit to be used to order the necessary subsistence items based upon the number of meals served. It appears that the present system works in reverse to what sound economic principles would dictate. For exam- ple, a dining hall may be allowed a $3.25 ceiling per day to buy food per person. If that ceiling is not reached, the dining facilities receive the money anyway and must find ways to spend it. To establish this fixed ceiling amount, called a Basic Daily Food Allowance (BDFA), DoD has a list of 53 key Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 food components that are priced monthly. If the price of boneless grilled steak beef is increased by 5 cents, the allowance would be increased on a per person basis from, say, $3.25 to $3.30 a day. If the price went down 5 cents, it would be decreased accordingly. The fallacy with this system, however, is that there is no incentive to substitute less costly items when there is an increase in another item-for example, substitution of ham or fish for beef until there is a future price realignment. This is what an individual would do typically in a supermarket. DoD does not do that, but instead budgets for the full price increase and does not take into account substitution of cheaper, but equally nutritious, items. The Committee has also learned that when an individu- al dining facility manager prepares meals and orders the necessary food, the BDFA (which provides the basis for the entire subsistence budget request) plays absolutely no part in his food planning decision. Moreover, some overseas activities are not even authorized to purchase some of the BDFA items used in preparing budget requests. The Committee believes that the lack of use of substitu- tion in the subsistence budgeting process, as well as the lack of relationship between program execution and pro- gram budgeting leads to a higher food bill. As a result of the documented waste, fraud, and abuse; the misestimation in some of the categories of the budget justification material; as well as a lack of a logical and coherent budgeting procedure; the Committee is deleting $100 million in savings that is possible through correction of these problems without adversely impacting on the subsistence entitlement. The Committee is also directing the Department of Defense to present a plan no later than March 31, 1982 to the Committee which provides a mecha- nism for the budget submissions for fiscal years 1983 and beyond to be based upon a fixed and firm relationship between dollars re- quested and the final distribution of those dollars in terms of actual consumption. DEFENSE ENROLLMENT ELIGIBILITY REPORTING SYSTEM (DEERS) ~- The revised fiscal year 1982 budget request for the DEERS pro- gram includes $15,109,000 of operation and maintenance funds and $1,021,000 of other procurement funds, for a total of $16,130,000. Since 1979 the Committee and the Senate Appropriations Commit- tee have encouraged a schedule which would speed up implementa- tion of the DEERS system in view of the wide-spread and docu- mented abuse of eligibility in DoD food service and medical facili- ties. The Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System has recent- ly completed its second year of implementation. As of September 30, 1981, the eligibility data base being created contained over 6 million beneficiaries, about 4 million sponsors and 2 million de- pendents. With funds made available for the fiscal years 1981 and 1982, the Committee is hopeful that total enrollment will be accom- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 plished during fiscal year 1982 for CONUS based eligible benefici- aries. NEW IDENTIFICATION CARD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN During fiscal year 1982 the Department of Defense will be con- ducting a six-month pilot program (prototype test) of a new ID card in selected military installations in North Carolina and Virginia. The fiscal year 1982 request includes $12.1 million for implementa- tion of the new ID card program. The Committee recommends that the Secretary insure that this new ID card system is tied to the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System for eligibility ver- ification and checking purposes and that DEERS and the new ID card are closely interfaced to insure desired efficiencies and econo- mies. It is expected that these two integrated systems will enhance the Department of Defense's ability to plan for and manage re- sources for the different benefit programs and, simultaneously, curb the fraudulent use of these benefits by ineligible persons. The Committee recommends that budgeting for the DEERS system and the new ID card system be maintained as separate accounts. Various reports made available by the General Accounting Office and the Defense Audit Agency have identified gross abuses in the current identification system and have recommended issuance of a tamper-proof card with emphasis placed on improving control and the accountability measures. GAO and the Defense Audit Agency have identified large losses in areas such as food service ($100 million) and medical care ($50 to $60 million) per year. To stop losses in these and possibly other areas, a more secure ID card with a ready means for validation of entitlements is absolutely essential. This system should interface with the Defense Enrollment Eligibil- ity Data Base -to determine medical eligibility, it should interface with food service, the service pay system, and other systems that require using verification of eligibility of benefits such as commis- saries, exchanges, military clubs and messes. It is obvious that the cost of implementing this new identification system will be offset by a reduction of losses through the use of invalid cards to obtain services, goods, and privileges from commissaries, exchanges, and medical facilities. CAREER BASIC ALLOWANCE FOR SUBSISTENCE (BAS) The Department of Defense has proposed a new program for fiscal year 1982 called Career BAS which would provide cash in- stead of subsistence-in-kind to all E-5 and above not otherwise entitled to a cash payment. This would clearly begin a reversal of the traditional thrust of military compensation which has been that quarters and subsistence are entitlemel, is-in-kind and to the extent that these cannot be provided a cazh allowance is paid instead. The Department proposal in essence makes cash,in lieu of subsistence-in-kind the entitlement for all enlisted personnel E-5 and above. In requesting Committee approval of this program the Depart- ment has stated that providing free food instead of an allowance is a "penalty" which is "essentially a reduction of basic compensa- tion." This justification continued that "these personnel, who Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 occupy troop housing, have received only a small portion of the recently enacted compensation benefits." The Committee does not understand how pay raises of up to 30 percent in only a twelve month period can be interpreted as a small portion of the increased compensation benefits. Furthermore, it is difficult to understand how providing high quality free food can be considered a reduction in compensation. The Committee is also very concerned over the fact that if Career BAS is implemented, fewer NCO's will be eating in the dining halls which will further erode the interaction be- tween NCO's and junior enlisted personnel. The Committee be- lieves that there is already a vacuum of leadership in the middle enlisted ranks and that such a step would further erode unit integ- rity. The Committee is therefore deleting the full $34.8 million for this, new program. The Army budget justification material reflects real growth of $2.7 million for troop issue subsistence. In view of the President's budget admendments of September 1981, there is no growth in the strength of the Army and therefore no basis for real growth in troop issue subsistence. Moreover, when the Committee inquired as to the need for real growth in this area the Army responded with a justification that indicated the money would clearly not be going for the purposes for which requested anyway. The Committee is therefore deleting the entire $2.7 million in real growth. In fiscal year 1982, the Army and Marine Corps reflect a phase- in of the Meal, Ready to Eat (MRE) ration and the phase-down of the Meal, Combat, Individual (MCI) Ration. The price of the MRE is roughly twice the cost of the MCI without substantial differences in the calories, fat content, etc. According to the information pro- vid'ed by the Department the price is nearly doubling for the new ration because the thermostabilizing retort technology used in MRE production is extremely advanced and does not have a broad production base in the American food processing industry to date. However, the Committee was also advised that U.S. commercial manufacturers will be switching to this technology in two to five years. Because there is no clear or compelling need to begin procure- ment of the MRE in fiscal year 1982, the Committee is reducing the budget by $3.5 million and directing the Department to slow the procurement of this new ration until the technology is availa- ble in the American food processing industry at which time the price should be roughly comparable to the old MCI. The military compensation system provides a cash allowance to officers in lieu of providing subsistence-in-kind while enlisted per- sonnel may receive either subsistence-in-kind or a cash allowance when subsistence-in-kind is not available. For fiscal year 1982 the subsistence allowance for officers is only $94 per month while enlisted personnel who do not have subsistence-in-kind available to Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 them will receive $153 per month. Because enlisted personnel re- ceive substantially higher subsistence allowance payments than officers, the Committee has not objected in previous years to the practice of paying officers both their basic allowance for subsist- ence and that portion of the per diem allowance designated for food when traveling on government business. Because of what was perceived in some quarters to be a "per diem inequity", the Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1981 extended to enlisted personnel the same entitlement to receive both a sub- sistence allowance and the food portion of per diem simultaneously. The Committee does not believe that this "inequity" is a real one but is rather attributable to the confusing complexity of military pay and allowances which permits enlisted personnel to be paid over 60 percent more for subsistence than an officer. Because en- listed personnel receive either subsistence-in-kind or a large cash payment, the Committee does not believe it is equitable in any sense of the word to pay that portion of the per diem allowance for food in full-in essence fully compensating enlisted personnel twice for the same food expense. As a result, the Committee is including a general provision in the bill which would limit enlisted personnel traveling under government orders to either the subsistence allow- ance or that portion of the per diem specified for food, which ever is greater. The Committee believes that this will insure the per diem payment is equitable for enlisted personnel in terms of the expenses incurred for food. The Committee has continued for offi- cers the traditional payment of that food portion of per diem in addition to the subsistence allowance since officer subsistence al- lowance payments are substantially less than those of enlisted personnel. The Army request overstates the requirement to support Korean personnel assigned to duty with the U.S. Eighth. Army. The Com- mittee is therefore deleting $100,000. SKILL QUALIFICATION TEST (SQT) For several years the Committee has made reductions to the Army Skill Qualification Test because of repeated findings by the General Accounting Office and Army auditors that the test does not measure what it was intended to measure, that personnel have consistently high failure rates, and that unit commanders make poor utilization of test results for planning training. Based upon an ongoing review of this program by the GAO, the Committee has reluctantly concluded that the SQT is completely ineffective and has therefore deleted the entire $40.0 million in- cluded in the budget. While the concept of using an objective test to support personnel decisions is sound, the SQT has clearly proved not to be the proper test. The Committee .believes that any such test can only be one of several tools available to the experienced NCO and unit commander to plan meaningful unit training and to make decisions on individual promotions and assignments. The Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Army should review the policies of the other services in this area before proposing a replacement for the SQT to ensure that. a new test is designed to complement, not replace, the judgment of the NCO's and commanders in the field. DUPLICATE LEADERSHIP TRAINING Based upon an extensive review by the Defense Audit Service, the Committee believes that all three military departments to some extent provide duplicate leadership training. For example, the Army sends soldiers to NCO Academies too early before eligibility to promotion to NCO rank. Many, therefore, leave the service after receiving this training long before they are even in a position to need it. The Air Force sends personnel to out of town locations for training even though the course is offered at the individual's home base. The Navy sends some individuals to both local courses and centralized formal courses which are nearly identical. .The Committee therefore believes that a reduction of $9.7 million in fiscal year 1982 is possible to improve management of leadership training without reducing this important effort. RESERVE OFFICER'S TRAINING CORP (ROTC) PAYBACK In a report published by the Department of Defense it is revealed that over the past several years the military services have recruit- ed sufficient numbers of qualified students into the ROTC program but have been unable to retain them. As the report indicates, attrition is excessive particularly after the sophomore year for four-year scholarship students. The Defense Department has indi- cated that almost one-half of all ROTC attrition occurs then, and two-thirds of it is voluntary. In other words, ROTC scholarship students decide to leave the program before they enter their junior year and incur an obligation to serve in the armed forces. When students in their junior or senior years drop ROTC, they are breaching a contract and a specific remedy is available to the federal government in terms of ordering the student to active duty as an enlisted person. However, in recent years the Department of Defense has been reluctant to use this option with the stated reason that "it singles out ROTC students by involuntarily requir- ing them to serve on active duty as enlisted in an otherwise volun- teer force." The Committee believes that ROTC students have indeed volunteered since they have been accepting federal subsidies for their education. The Department is therefore directed to order to active duty as an enlisted person every obligated ROTC student who withdraws. The Secretary of Defense, of course, should retain the authority to waive the involuntary ordering of ROTC students to active duty for clear cases of physical or mental disability, moral unfitness, and so forth. Although ROTC students who drop out are under no obligation to reimburse the Government for expenses incurred, the Secretary of Defense should take into consideration if the student has made a voluntary payback to the Treasury of the United States for the ROTC costs incurred. The Committee is also concerned that college students take ad- vantage of ROTC scholarships for their freshman and sophomore years and voluntarily drop out before beginning the junior year Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 and incurring an obligation to serve. The Committee is therefore directing that beginning with the 1982 fall collegiate term, all freshman and sophomore ROTC scholarship recipients must ex- ecute an agreement with the Department of Defense to join a guard or reserve unit with the stipulation that participation in drills is waived while serving in the ROTC program. In the event that a freshman or sophomore scholarship recipient voluntarily t drops out, the Secretary of Defense is directed to make arrange- ments for that individual to begin drilling with a guard or reserve unit near to that individual. In fiscal year 1982 the Army plans to add one week to the basic and, one station unit training programs. While the Committee sup- ports the Army's efforts to improve its individual training of sol- diers prior to assignment to units, the Committee is concerned that the Army is not applying sufficient manpower resources to make the increase in training effective. For example, for the initial entry training program the General Accounting Office reports that the Army training program had approximately 1,000 fewer instructors assigned than was required even prior to the week extension in training. For fiscal year 1982, the first year of the extension, the Army has only approved an increase of 888 additional staff while the General Accounting Office indicates that 1,200 additional staff are required for the program. In other words, the Army is adding insufficient staff to support the training even at the old level, shortchanging the training program by nearly 1,400 instructors and support personnel. The Committee is also concerned that the GAO has reported that Fort Knox data showed that trainers had to operate at about 74 percent strength of the E-6's and E-7's required. At Fort Leonard Wood there was only a 58 percent fill in infantry training posi- tions. Moreover, the GAO has reported to the Committee that during a recent test, drill sergeants in the basic training brigade at Fort Knox were not able to pass the end of course test given to new recruits. The Committee believes that improving the Army's readiness is substantially dependent upon improving the quality of its training. This, however, cannot be accomplished without dedicating the nec- essary manpower resources to the training establishment. The Committee is therefore requesting that the Army report back to the Committee by March 31, 1982 the steps being taken to fully man the training establishment to the required level in accordance with the new extended syllabus. NAVY TRAINING BACKLOG The average number of Navy enlisted personnel awaiting entry into "A Preparatory" and "A" schools increased to a level of more than 5,000 in fiscal year 1981. Some of these personnel are waiting 8 weeks or more to start courses which begin weekly. The Navy has estimated that it is only necessary to have a maximum pipe- line of 2,951 Navy students awaiting instruction at any time. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Recently, the Navy has implemented several measures intended to reduce this backlog including (a) manning 229 authorized in- structor billets in those courses with extensive student backlogs, (b) authorizing an additional $11.1 million in fiscal year 1982 to hire civilian instructors for some "A Preparatory" and "A" school courses, and (c) reducing the input into the "A" schools by not 3 classifying into backlogged courses recruits who were not enlisted with school guarantees. It is uncertain whether these measures and many others being considered by the Training Command Manning Task Force-spe- cifically set up to address the backlog problem-will achieve the Navy's objective of reducing the backlog to 2,951 by July 1982. For example, the Navy's current commitment given to instructor man- ning has not been formalized to guarantee 100 percent manning through July 1982 and thereafter. Also, there is no assurance that the current Commitment will extend to related training billets such as school support and the integrated training battalions which commanding officers often use interchangeably. In addition, school throughput in excess of 100 percent of the fiscal year 1982 training plan is needed to reduce the backlog and a commitment to exceed the plan has not been approved. Finally, consideration to reducing input to the fiscal year 1982 training plan for courses with an extensive backlog has not been a Navy option for addressing the backlog problem. The Committee believes that a long-range commitment by the Navy toward manning the schools at 100 percent is required. This would include manning not only instructor billets but also the related training billets such as school support and the integrated training battalions. The Navy is requested to report to the Committee by April 30, 1982 as to the progress being made in reducing the substantial backlog. The Navy is requesting an increase of $600,000 for continued development and implementation of an executive development pro- gram for senior executive service personnel. This growth is in addition to several hundred thousand dollars of growth provided last year for this effort. In response to the Committee's request for additional justification it was stated that "while there is a rich and varied degree of executive and management development and training throughout the department, it is uneven in quality be- cause commands have operated in a policy vacuum." The Commit- tee does not understand the need for this funding or the occurrence of a "policy vacuum" since in recent years the Navy has estab- lished a new Deputy Assistant Secretary for Civilian Personnel Policy with several supporting offices. In addition, the Chief of Naval Operations has on his staff a branch entitled "Personnel Development" with additional supporting staff below it whose re- sponsibility it is to provide . overall policy in this area for the Department of the Navy as a whole. The Committee is deleting the $600,000 growth requested and suggesting that if such a "policy vacuum" exists, the Navy may wish to disestablish these offices and use the savings for additional training support. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 AIR FORCE ACADEMY FOOTBALL STADIUM PA SYSTEM The budget requested $100,000 for upgrading the PA sound system at Falcon Stadium at the Air Force Academy "because some spectators complained that they have difficulty hearing while others complain that it is too loud." The Committee is deleting the requested increase of $100,000 and recommending that the millions of dollars in gate receipts available from the football games be used for this effort. ARMY CONTINUING EDUCATION SYSTEM In fiscal year 1982 the Army is requesting $128 million for the Army Continuing Education System (ACES). Since 1979, the fund- ing requested has doubled, but the number of soldiers being sup- ,ported has only increased by three percent. Moreover, the Army has been increasingly recruiting personnel in the higher mental categories with high school diplomas which should lessen the need for additional counselors and basic high school training programs. The Committee is therefore recommending a reduction of $16 mil- lion which will still provide substantial growth over the fiscal year 1981 level of $97 million. Last year the fiscal year 1981 justification material indicated that $2.1 million requested for Navy training was for costs to be incurred on a one-time basis in fiscal year 1981. In reviewing the fiscal year 1982 request, there is no reduction reflected to offset the one time fiscal year 1981 cost which will no longer be incurred. The Committee is therefore recommending a reduction of $2.1 million in fiscal year 1982 to reflect the offset which should have been budgeted. ARMY "LIFE COPING SKILLS" The Army is requesting an increase of $8.6 million in fiscal year 1982 for what is termed "life coping skills". According to the Army these "skills" which must be taught include dealing with others, civic responsibilities, coping with personal problems, and so forth. The Committee has deleted the entire $8.6 million since it is not clear as to how these funds will be specifically used to improve military readiness, especially in light of the fact that the majority of the funds appear to be for developing a curriculum rather than to meet specific needs of military personnel. The Committee traditionally includes a general provision in the Appropriations Bill specifying a maximum amount (in most cases 75 percent) that the Department of Defense can pay for tuition assistance for off duty education programs. In addition, this gener- al provision requires that all officers undergoing such training must agree to continue on active duty for a specified amount of time after completion of the training. According to audit reports by the Defense Audit Service and the Air Force Audit Agency, both Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 the Navy and the Air Force are not fully complying with the intent of this general provision. The Committee is therefore recommending a reduction of $2.0 million which will be saved by proper application of the restric- tions of the general provision contained again in this year's bill. The Navy and the Air Force are reminded that the general provi- sion applies to all appropriations contained in this act regardless of which program elements the funding may be included within. To the extent that exceptions are deemed necessary, the appropriate request should be made during the budget cycle. As a result of a decrease in the number of accessions planned for Navy recruit training since the budget was submitted last winter, the Committee is recommending a reduction of $400,000 for support costs which will not now be incurred. The Committee has fully supported the Army's efforts to provide dynamic leadership training for non-commissioned officers. Howev- er, in the fiscal year 1982 budget request the Army is showing substantial real growth for NCO academies in Europe at a time when the Army is attempting to level off the NCO manning in Europe in order to man more fully the units in the United States. The Committee is therefore deleting $.8 million from the $3.6 mil- lion in growth requested in the fiscal year 1982 budget request based upon a lack of documented requirement for new NCO's in Europe. The Navy has requested funds in the fiscal year 1982 budget to pay for tuition, books, fees, and pay and allowances for students attending their senior year of college majoring in a science or engineering curriculum. Because this program appeared to be simi- lar to an ROTC program but was not included within the ROTC budget line or within the ceiling on ROTC scholarships, the Com- mittee requested additional details on this program. The Navy responded that, in fact, the effort was of dubious legality. The Committee is therefore deleting $5.5 million from the Navy request for this bogus ROTC program for which funds are not required. The Air Force Audit Agency documented excess manning at four different weapons training sites located in the Mediterranean area. In March 1981, the Air Force agreed with the audit findings and deleted 126 military positions with an eventual reduction of as many as 350. Since the reductions occurred after the submission of the fiscal year 1982 budget the Air Force has requested funds to support at least 126 man years that are no longer required. The Committee is therefore recommending a reduction of $2.5 million from the budgeted levels. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Navy requested $200,000 for litigation cost as a result of claims filed against the government for certain training devices. The law suit has recently been settled out of court and the Chief of Navy Education and Training will not require the $200,000 as requested in the budget submission. The budget has therefore been reduced by $200,000. MILITARY PAY ACCOUNTING WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE In fiscal year 1982, nearly $60 billion will be spent in the mili- tary personnel accounts. Even minor aberrations in the accounting procedures can produce significant amounts of waste. For example, the Committee has reviewed eight recent audit reports which docu- ment millions of dollars being wasted due to poor management of military personnel and retired pay accounts. Moreover, the Depart- ment of Defense generally agrees with the findings by the General Accounting Office and the various defense audit agencies. A few examples of the typical problems are as follows: Inadequate debt collection procedures Divorced personnel. continue to collect allowances at "with dependent" rates even though they are not entitled A member paid by a sister service is sometimes paid twice because the member's parent service is not notified that pay- ment was made Military retirees entitled to either DoD retired paychecks or VA entitlements sometimes receive both payments Paychecks written for personnel who have deceased as well as invalid paychecks are not properly controlled to assure timely destruction. The Committee believes that even minor improvements in the pay accounting procedures within the Department of Defense for military personnel will save a minimum of $60 million in fiscal year 1982 and a reduction has been included in that amount. MILITARY COMPENSATION "DRAG-ALONGS" Every October 1 the Department of Defense automatically in- creases several discretionary allowances without making any spe- cific judgement that the increase is required. For example, the normal procedure with selective reenlistment bonuses or any of several continuation pays would be to increase the amount of the bonus by exactly the percentage of the pay raise. While the Committee supports the use of bonuses to target com- pensation, the practice of automatically increasing these several allowances is done without any review. The automatic increase can be very expensive for little return. For example, except for the continuing resolution restriction, the Department of Defense would have automatically increased the amount of selective reenlistment bonuses being paid by nearly $100 million without making any specific judgement that the increase was required in order to sus- tain retention of each shortage skill at the level necessary. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Committee is therefore directing that the practice of auto- matically increasing the discretionary "drag-alongs" is prohibited. This will specifically apply to all non-entitlement pay and allow- ances such as bonuses and continuation pays. The Department may, of course, continue to increase and decrease these bonuses within the authorities granted by the Congress as long as the basis for the increase is a thorough and specific review which indicates that each individual change is necessary. To the extent that this discretionary authority is exercised, the Committee anticipates it would be evenly spaced throughout the course of the year rather than automatically occurring at the beginning of every fiscal year, and vary from one skill to another. It is stipulated, however, that items that are reimbursement for expenses incurred such as cloth- ing maintenance may continue to be increased at the beginning of every fiscal year, but the increase should be in accordance with the requirement for increased expense reimbursements and not neces- sary automatically tied to the military pay increase. Last year the Committee directed the Air Force to develop a compensation statement to better inform military personnel of the full value of the military compensation package. The Air Force has completed development on a compensation statement which meets the Committee's intent. It is the Committee's understanding that the Air Force is in the process of implementing the compensation statement presently. The Committee is directing that now that the Air Force has prepared a suitable document that the other services follow suit during fiscal year 1982 so that all military personnel in the Department of Defense receive such a statement. The process should be institutionalized so that every member receives a state- ment at least once a year during the course of his military service. Prior to fiscal year 1979, the Department of Defense paid reen- listment bonuses in equal yearly installments over the entire period of the reenlistment. However, in fiscal year 1979 the Depart- ment requested sufficient funds to begin making lump sum pay- ments. Although the Committee directed DoD to continue the in- stallment method rather than switching to lump sum payments, the Conference on the fiscal year 1979 Defense Appropriations Bill agreed to allow the Department of Defense to try the lump sum method. The Committee originally expressed several concerns over switching to the lump sum method. For example, giving all the money up front creates difficulties in recoupment if the individual leaves the military early. In addition, if the bonus is given all at once, it creates a "what have you done for me lately' syndrome after the first year of reenlistment when the individual no longer receives extra pay but is serving an extended obligation tour. And finally, although DoD believed that a 16 percent savings would be achieved by using the lump sum method, there has been no data to support this contention and, in fact, the cost of reenlistment bo- nuses has gone up exactly 300 percent in only three years. The Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Committee is therefore making a reduction of $397.9 million in order to change the basis of award for reenlistment bonuses from lump sum back to the pre-1979 installment method. It should be clear to the Department that this reduction in funding makes no change in the number of bonuses that can be awarded, just in the method of payment. As a partial offset for the reduction discussed above, the Commit- tee is increasing the Marine Corps reenlistment bonus request by $5 million for additional bonuses to be paid on the installment method. The Department of Defense is requesting $26 million and author- ity to pay a cost of living allowance (COLA) to personnel living on base in barracks overseas. The Congress has said no twice before on this new program and the reasons for this denial are even stronger this year than in previous years. For example, DoD wants this new allowance on top of a pay raise of as much as 17 percent in fiscal year 1982. Moreover, the purchasing power of the dollar overseas is up dramatically from that of a year ago when the Department of Defense based the justification for the barracks COLA on the "devalued" dollar. The Committee still questions the need to pay a barracks COLA to individuals who are provided free food, free housing, free medi- cal care, and recreation and exchange prices equal to or less than the United States. This justification becomes even stronger in light of the fact that the barracks COLA that the Department wishes to pay would include extra funds for doing such items as laundry and dry cleaning off base. The Committee seriously questions whether a military person living in a barracks with a laundry facility in his own building will transport his dirty laundry off base rather than use the more convenient and cheaper on-base facilities. In addition, the Committee questions whether there is a need to provide a transportation subsidy for personnel living and working on base in the same magnitude that is given for those individuals who must live off base and commute perhaps by public transportation on base to work. The Committee is therefore deleting the entire request of $26.0 million in fiscal year 1982 and for the third time denying the request for barracks cost of living allowance. PER DIEM, TRAVEL, AND TRANSPORTATION ALLOWANCE COMMITTEE Prior to July 1, 1947, uniformed administration of travel and transportation allowances for members of the uniformed services was rare. From July 1947 to May 1950, an informal Per Diem Committee Board met periodically to evaluate needed changes in these pay and allowance areas. Since 1950, these decisions have been made by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee which has seen its charter grow substantially from travel and transportation questions to a whole range of pay and allowance issues. The Committee is concerned that with the responsibility for in- terpretation of pay and allowance statutes being farmed out to the Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061 OR000100040004-81 Per Diem Committee, DOD officials are somehow absolved of the responsibility for poor decisions that may be made The Committee has become increasingly aware in the last several"-years that the Per Diem Committee has made decisions that in some instances are not fiscally sound and in other instances are admittedly illegal. - The Committee has reluctantly concluded that after 30 years the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee has outlived its usefulness. The Committee has no choice but to direct that none of the funds contained in this bill may be used to support such a committee structure and that in fact the committee no longer exists. In recognition, however, that some mechanism must exist to continue the continuity and uniformity of military pay and allow- ances, the Committee is not deleting the funding for the staff which has worked for the Per Diem Committee. Rather the entire 23 full time and 18 part time staff should be transferred directly to the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower, Reserve Affairs, and Logistics who is the highest ranking military manpower and compensation official in the Department of Defense. The Committee is also directing that henceforth every decision that would in the past have been referred to the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee will now be made by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower or at a level no lower than one of his immediate Deputy Assistant Secretaries. If the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower Reserve Affairs and Logistics chooses to delegate this authority, the Committee expects to be notified of the individual designated to make these decisions in order that the responsibility may be clearly fixed in a specific position. Furthermore, the Committee expects the Department to issue a quarterly report itemizing all decisions made which would affect military pay and allowances or expense reimbursements in any form and the amount of financial impact that is anticipated as a result of each decision. The first such report shall be forwarded to the Committee for the first quarter of fiscal year 1982 no later then January 31, 1982. The Committee anticipates that the Assist- ant Secretary of Defense or the Deputy Assistant so designated by him shall continue to work closely with the uniformed services not within the Department of Defense in order to insure consistency in pay and allowance decisions.. INCIDENTAL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS Prior to December 1979, the Joint Travel Regulations provided that military personnel travelling overseas when government quar- ters and messing were available would receive $2.50 per day to cover incidential expenses. To the extent that quarters and food are not provided, additional per diem was authorized. On December 12, 1979, the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Com- mittee decreed under Joint Determination number 40-79 that the amount awarded for incidental expenses would be 8 percent of the overseas per diem rate in effect for the locality surrounding the military installation involved. This decision was made despite ob- jections by some of the military services. The Committee has reviewed this recommendation and agrees with those who object to it. There appears to be little logic in H.Rept. 97-333 --- 3 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 linking the incidental expense rate for a U.S. military installation to the per diem rate outside of that military installation since the incidental expenses are designed to cover those costs incurred for laundry,-- Haircuts, dry cleaning, and personal hygiene purchases made!generally at the on-base commissary or exchange. Since all of these purchases are geared to U.S. prices, it is immaterial whether the per diem rate outside the local installation is high or low. Consequently the Committee is specifically reversing Joint Deter- mination number 40-79 and directing the Department to calculate what is a fair reimbursement for incidental expenses incurred and insure that military personnel are provided this equitable reim- bursement without regard to a fixed percentage calculation against the local per diem rate. The Committee believes that separating the incidental expense calculation from the local per diem will save an estimated $10 million in fiscal year 1982 and appropriate reduc- tions have been made to the proper accounts. In the early 1960's, the Congress authorized foreign duty pay for enlisted personnel of up to $22.50 per month for assignment to certain overseas duty areas. Twenty years ago military pay was low and in many of these foreign areas living was difficult at best. Military pay is no longer low with enlisted personnel receiving pay raises within the past twelve months of as much as 30 percent. Furthermore, a review by the Committee shows that the Depart- ment of Defense is awarding foreign duty pay to such "arduous" assignments as Puerto Rico, England, Spain, Virgin Islands, Fin- land, and Germany. With the strength of the dollar overseas, the high U.S. military pay levels, and the vast improvements and amenities available for overseas living since the early 1960's, the Committee believes that the Department can substantally cut back on the number of personnel awarded foreign duty pay so that only those personnel assigned to truly rigorous areas such as Diego Garcia or a remote and isolated communications site would remain eligible. By limiting the payments to these hardship areas, the Committee believes that a reduction of $25.0 million is possible in fiscal year 1982. NAVY AND MARINE CORPS BAQ MISMANAGEMENT Two years ago the Committee criticized the Navy's practice of improperly paying basic allowance for quarters when in fact ade- quate quarters were available to house those not meeting the crite- ria for living off station. The Committee directed the Navy at that time to correct the problems in this area and insure that empty housing is fully utilized. This year, two years later, the Committee has reviewed five new audit reports that show both the Navy and the Marine Corps are paying basic allowance for quarters for sailors and marines to live on the economy when suitable military housing is still available. This year, however, the Committee has found that the Navy man- agement has actually deteriorated since there are several instances of personnel living in government quarters also drawing the basic allowance for quarters to which they are not entitled. For example, Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 the Navy Audit Service has documented cases where individuals have received BAQ even though they have been living in govern- ment quarters for up to 24 months. The Committee is therefore directing the Navy and the Marine Corps to take aggressive action to correct these chronic problems. A reduction totaling $52.5 mil- lion is recommended out of the total of $1.4 billion for Navy and Marine Corps BAQ. The Navy Audit Service documented that the Department of Navy has consistently requested more funding than required for the Military Personnel Navy appropriation for fiscal years 1977, 1978, and 1979. In response to this audit finding the Navy stated that it had taken correct action and that no such problem would exist in the year 1981. The Committee has reviewed the Navy's management of the military personnel appropriation during fiscal year 1981 and finds that in fact the same overbudgeting in certain areas occurred. The Committee estimates that the fiscal year 1981 amount overbudgeted in the same pay items documented by the audit service totals $58.5 million. Since the fiscal year 1982 budget request is substantially based upon the fiscal year 1981 experience, the Committee is recommending a reduction of $58.5 million from the current request. The variable housing allowance is designed to compensate mili- tary personnel for the difference between the actual housing costs on the one hand and the amount received for reimbursement in the basic allowance for quarters on the other. The budget submis- sion for fiscal year 1982 by then-President Carter assumed that the basic allowance for quarters increase would be only 9.1 percent. However, as a result of the Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1981, the actual increase in BAQ was 14.3 percent. Therefore, the Com- mittee estimates that the variable housing allowance request is overstated by some $39.1 million and a reduction is recommended in that amount. ARMY PROFICIENCY PAY The Army has requested a new program totaling $44.1 million in fiscal year 1982 for proficiency pay. This new effort is composed of two programs: combat arms proficiency pay totaling $26.8 million, and skill shortage proficiency pay of $17.3 million. As a result of feedback from field commanders, the Army has backed off of the proposal to pay a combat arms proficiency pay because of the difficulty that would be involved in proper adminis- tration. The Committee is therefore deleting the $26.8 million. The Committee agrees with the Army's proposal to pay new skill shortage proficiency pay. However, the skills and pay grades pro- posed to receive this new pay indicate that the full amount is not necessary. Therefore, the Committee is approving $11.4 million of the request and specifying that the new skill shortage proficiency pay should be limited to Career E-5 through E-9's in skills manned at less than 95 percent of the required levels. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 In the Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1981, an increase of up to 30 percent in monthly flight pay was authorized. Since this is an entitlement and no additional funds have been included in the fiscal year 1982 budget, the Committee is recommending an in- crease of $57.3 million to finance this Congressional initiative. AVIATION BONUS The Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1981 terminates the aviation bonus for the Air Force effective October 1, 1981. The Committee is therefore deleting the entire $47 million requested by the Air Force in fiscal year 1982 for payment of this no longer authorized bonus. The pay act of 1981 also terminates the Navy and Marine Corps aviation bonus effective at the end of fiscal year 1982. Since the pay act also makes all Marine and Navy aviators who do not execute an agreement for the aviation bonus eligible for the 30 percent increase in flight pay, the Committee believes that it will not be necessary for the Department of the Navy to continue to pay this aviation bonus throughout the entire fiscal year. A reduc- tion of $26 million is therefore made and the Navy and Marine Corps are directed to phase out the aviation bonus effective March 31, 1982. MARINE CORPS FLIGHT AND SEA PAY RATE ERRORS The Marine Corps has acknowledged that incorrect rates were used to prepare the FY 1982 request for non-crew flight pay and officer sea pay. The Committee is recommending deletion of $400,000 based upon a recalculation using the correct rates. PAY LONGEVITY OVERSTATEMENT Both the Army and the Air Force budget submissions originally projected that the average pay grade for military personnel would be higher than now appears to be the case. The Committee has therefore deleted a total of $20.6 million. CURRENCY CHANGES Due to the continued strength of the U.S. dollar overseas, the Committee estimates that the military personnel request is over- stated by $20.8 million and a total reduction is recommended in that amount to the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps accounts. No reduction is recommended to the Air Force since $34 million was already deleted for currency changes in the September 1981 budget amendment. ARMY BASIC ALLOWANCE FOR QUARTERS (BAQ) The Army has acknowledged that the budget request is overstat- ed by $5.8 million for basic allowance for quarters. A reduction is included in that amount. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ARMY MEDICAL PAY Public Law 96-284 permits the Army to pay up to a total of $4.3 million in fiscal year 1982 for doctor incentive pay. After reviewing the Army's request, the Committee has concluded that the Army does not know how many doctors they want to pay, which skills will receive the pay, or what the average payments will be. It is apparent that the Army simply budgeted the maximum amount possible without a specific plan to document the request. The Com- mittee recognizes, however, that there will of course be certain skills that warrant this special pay. In the absence of a specific plan, the Committee is recommending deletion of $2.3 million from the Army's request which can be restored via a supplemental or reprogramming once the Army can justify the full amount. UNIFORMED SERVICES PAY ACT OF 1981 The Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1981 included several discre- tionary increases for which no funds were included in the budget request by the Department of Defense. Since the Department has not had adequate opportunity to justify the cost of the items to the Appropriations Committees or how the discretionary authorities would be exercised, the Committee is requesting that the Depart- pent request funds either through a supplemental or through a reprogramming request and present a plan for approval by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees prior to implementa- tion. PROPOSED REDUCTION TO THE SEVENTH DIVISION In a budget amendment to the fiscal year 1982 request, the Department had proposed reducing the Seventh Infantry Division at Fort Ord, California temporarily to active cadre status in fiscal year 1983 and then reinstating it to active status in fiscal year 1986. The Committee strongly opposes this recommendation. Al- though there may be merit in proposing that the Army reduce the number of divisions in its force structure while maintaining its strength at current levels as well as merit in proposing closure of entire bases, there is little merit in the present proposal since none of the economies and efficiencies would accrue while most of the disadvantages and diseconomies would result. Although the Committee opposes any direct or indirect reduction in the status of the seventh division or any other Army division that might be proposed for temporary reduction to cadre status, the Committee requests that the Army review its current division and base structures and report to the Committee by March 31, 1982 the advisability of reducing the number of active Army divisions while maintaining the strength at current or perhaps even in- creased levels in order to "flesh out" the Army and improve its combat capability. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE For the past three years, approximately $267,000,000 has been devoted to the alcohol and drug abuse prevention program. The request for fiscal year 1982 is approximately $100,000,000. The Department employs about 3,900 persons full time and about three times that number part time. The expenditure of these resources impacts adversely on readiness. There is no question that alcohol and drug abuse increases the cost of maintaining readiness. The Committee is deeply concerned about the alcohol and drug abuse problems in the military services. The hearings revealed that more than 130,000 members of the armed services are dependent on alcohol or illegal drugs, and that over one-third of the military personnel reported they had used some type of drug for nonmedical purpose during 1980. It has been reported that 19 percent of the junior enlisted personnel report that, on some occasion they have been "high while working." The Committee recognizes that there is no easy solution to this problem in the Department of Defense or in the country as a whole. Although it appears that DOD is awakening to the extent of the problem, clearly more needs to be done. At a minimum the Department should consider: -An aggressive media campaign in military communities, espe- cially those served by American Forces Radio and Television. -Awarding less than honorable discharges to abusers who refuse rehabilitation -Increased use of urinalysis kits -Increased use of military working dogs -Increased narcotics agent manning -Submission of proposed legislation to authorize X-ray of mail as well as other initiatives to stop trafficking. RECRUITING AND ADVERTISING In fiscal year 1982, the Department of Defense budget calls for spending approximately ,$1.3 billion for military recruiting and advertising. This represents an increase of 55 percent during the last two years alone. More specifically, the number of male non- prior service recruits required in FY 1982 decreases by 7 percent DOD-wide, but the level of funding requested increases by 24 per- cent in just one year. The Committee believes this increase is unwarranted since: -All services met or exceeded their recruiting goals in FY 1981 in terms of both quality and quantity; -The President has declared the U.S. to be in a recession which will influence many young men to join the military; -Unemployment is presently at 8 percent and projected to remain at high levels; -The Congress recently passed a pay raise as high as 17 percent which makes military service much more attractice; -The supply of 18-year-old males is presently at near-record levels; -There is a substantially reduced need for unskilled recruits due to ' the greatly improved retention of skilled NCO's and Petty Officers; Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR006100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 -The Army has not reorganized their recruiting command as they agreed to do two years ago. The Committee therefore believes that a reduction totalling $110 million is possible in FY 1982 with no adverse impact on the recruiting effort. The Committee is offsetting this decrease, howev- er, by $10 million for the Army to reflect the increase in bonus ceiling that is now available for recruiting as a result of the Uni- formed Services Pay Act of 1981. PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS The fiscal year 1982 Defense Authorization Bill directs that the appropriate rank for physician assistants in the Air Force is a Commissioned Officer. The Committee believes that if the physi- cian assistant is to be a true health care professional and to func- tion as an extender of physician services, there should be minimum professional standards established for these personnel. Therefore, the Committee is directing that prior to any physician assistant receiving a commission in the Department of Defense he should (a) possess at a minimum a bachelors degree in a science field directly related to medicine, (b) graduate from a training program approved by the appropriate national medical boards, and (c) be certified by the appropriate national certification authority. Additionally, the Committee is continuing the restriction that commissioned physi- cian assistants may not be promoted to a rank higher than 0-4 in order to prevent establishment of a bureaucracy for physician as- sistants which would ultimately lead to physician assistants becom- ing Colonels and Generals and out-ranking their physician counter- parts. The Committee is also directing that no later than March 31, 1982, the Department of Defense report to the Committee on any additional standards recommended for commissioning and include comments from appropriate physician assistant professional organi- zations such as the various state societies of physician assistants and the American Academy of Physician Assistants. ASSIGNMENT OF MILITARY VETERINARIANS In fiscal year 1980 the Committee directed the disestablishment of the Air Force Veterinary Corps and designation of the Army as executive agent for all veterinary responsibilities. Although the Department has taken these steps specified, there appears to be a substantial lack of cooperation between the Army and the Air Force in terms of proper utilization of the remaining veterinarians. For example, although the Army now is responsible for performing all Department of Defense veterinary functions, it is short of veter- inarians because it has not asked for those Air Force officers possessing veterinarian skills to be made available to meet the DoD wide requirement. On the other hand, the Air Force insists that they no longer have authorized positions for veterinarians and have not volunteered to make the veterinarians in the Air Force available to the Army to meet the DoD requirements. The Committee does not understand the difficulty in the two services cooperating in executing defense responsibilities for veteri- nary activities. The Committee is directing the Office of Secretary Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 38 of Defense to insure that proper utilization is made of veteri- narians currently in the Air Force during the transition period. The Committee is also directing that no officer in the military force should receive veterinary special pay even if the individual has a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree unless that person is assigned to a position specifically requiring a DVM degree and that the director of the Army Veterinary Corps as the chief veterinary official in the Department of Defense can certify to the Committee if the need arises that each individual receiving the pay is indeed performing a function that is required to meet the Army's veteri- nary mission. SHIP RETIREMENTS The September 1982 budget amendment retired 17 Navy ships earlier than planned. However, no manpower savings were includ- ed to reflect the reduced requirement. Excluding those ships re- stored elsewhere in this report, the Committee estimates that $6.0 million will not be required due to the impact of early ship retire- ments. MILITARY BANDS In fiscal year 1982 the Department of Defense proposes to field 102 separate military bands requiring 5,300 personnel and $102 million (including the military and civilian pay raises). Although the number of bands has remained level, the request represents an increase of 210 personnel over the fiscal year 1980 level. The Com- mittee is denying this proposed growth and deleting savings of $1.0 million. NAVY EXCHANGE MILITARY PERSONNEL The House Armed Services Committee has recommended that the Navy reduce the number of military personnel assigned to its exchanges. It is estimated that as many as 100 officers and 235 enlisted personnel are involved in this effort. The Committee be- lieves that $3.8 million can be saved in fiscal year 1982 by replac- ing up to half of these military personnel with non-appropriated fund civilian personnel. GUARD AND RESERVE FORCES ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER For the past several years the Committee has held detailed hear- ings which highlight the tremendous shortage of equipment availa- ble to the Army Guard and Reserve both for training and for deployment under virtually any scenario. Two years ago the Com- mittee directed the Army to begin budgeting for sufficient equip- ment to modernize the Army Guard and Reserve. Last year when the budget for fiscal year 1981 was submitted no such program was included. The Committee then added $50 million for this purpose and directed the Army to continue with this effort and include a program in the fiscal year 1982 budget submission for moderniza- tion. Unfortunately the Committee's direction has not been heeded. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 It is obvious from reviewing this year's submission in detail that no such program has been initiated by the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of the Army. The Department was placed on notice in last year's report on the fiscal year 1981 budget that "The Commit- tee hopes that sufficient funds will be included in the budget request when submitted next January (for the fiscal year 1982 budget) and that it would not be necessary, as was done with the Navy Reserve program last year, to seek funds from within the Department's request in order to finance this priority effort." The Committee believes that two years is sufficient time for the Department to initiate a comprehensive program for equiping the Army Guard and Reserve. The program is of sufficient priority that the Committee does not believe the Department should delay yet another year, especially in view of the lack of cooperation that has been evident on this issue. The Committee is therefore making a series of reductions totaling $250 million to every major appropri- ation contained in the Defense Department request. The Commit- tee has reallocated this funding amount as follow: $100 million to Operation and Maintenance and $150 million to Procurement, the amounts to be equally divided between the Army Guard and Re- serve. Within the $150 million designated for Procurement, $10.5 million is specifically included in the Aircraft Procurement, Army appropration for C-12's which . the Committee directs to be dedi- cated to the Guard. The Committee strongly urges the Department to comply with the direction of the Committee to begin a vigorous program of equipment modernization for the Army Guard and Reserve. The funds added should be for items which will enhance readiness and training in the near term. It is expected that the Army will identify via a prior approval reprogramming a specific plan as to what equipment will be purchased with these funds. Prior Committee approval is not required for purchase of the C-12's. The Committee believes that one of the reasons for inaction in this area is a lack of personnel dedicated to monitoring the devel- opment of requirements for the Army Guard and Reserve as well as the absence of a system for tracking the procurement and as- signment of this equipment to the target unit. The Committee is therefore directing that within the funds available to the Depart- ment of the Army, additional personnel be dedicated to this effort. The Committee will expect the Army to be able to testify next year to the equipment requirement, the amounts contained in the budget specifically to meet this requirement, the specific units to be receiving the equipment, and what sort of a tracking system is in place to be able to insure in future years under the Committee's C' questioning as to the final dispensation of the equipment pur- chased for the Army Guard and Reserve. NAVAL RESERVE STRENGTH The fiscal year 1982 budget submission requested only 87,600 Naval Reservists although the Navy Manpower Mobilization System study has determined that the need is for over 114,000. Last year the Committee recognized the necessity for gradually building the Naval Reserve program toward this higher figure and funded the Reserve personnel appropriation for a strength level of Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 92,000 personnel. The Department of Defense refused to increase the Naval Reserve strength by realigning the funds elsewhere. The Committee is increasing the FY 1982 request by $20.0 mil- lion and establishing a minimum level for the Navy Reserve at 94,000 personnel. The Department is directed to expend the funds for the purpose for which appropriated. In the event that the Navy wishes to reduce the strength below the appropriated 94,000 per- sonnel level, the Committee reminds the Department of Defense that the appropriate mechanism is through an appropriation rescis- sion request. Last year, the report on the FY 1981 Defense bill stated that "it is the intent of the Committee that all personnel funding for TAR'S (Training and Administration of Reserves), both officer and enlist- ed, be included in the RPN appropriation request." In testimony before this Committee, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs stated that the "Tar manpower is included in the reserve manpower authorization and funded in the Reserve Personnel, Navy appropriation beginning in FY 1983." It is the intent of the Committee that DOD follow through in FY 1983 on this commitment. GUARD AND RESERVE DRILL ATTENDANCE After an extensive study by the Committee's Investigative staff on the practice of paying Guard and Reserve personnel for drills not attended, the Committee concluded last year that "the Con- gress has no assurance that DoD has properly justified the level at which appropriated funds should be made available for drill attend- ance." As a result, the Committee deleted $13.7 million in FY 1981 to reflect this overstated request and included direction for the Department of Defense to take aggressive action to halt this prac- tice. Based upon eight new audits by various Defense audit agencies, the Committee has concluded that the Guard and Reserve compo- nents have still not corrected this payroll problem. The Committee believes that the Department is paying people who are not present at drills. One audit documented that one out of forty names on Marine Corps Reserve rosters certified to receive pay never even attended drills. Based upon the information available to the Com= mittee, there is no reason to believe that the other Reserve and Guard components are substantially better than the Marine Corps Reserve. While the Appropriations Committee has traditionally been a supporter of a strong Guard and Reserve force, this support does not extend to pay practices which border on outright fraud. The Committee is directing the Department to aggressively pursue cor- rective procedures, including the prosecution of personnel who accept pay for time not actually worked. It is the Committee's belief that millions of dollars are wasted each year because the Department refuses to crack down on these fraudulent practices. The Committee is, therefore, deleting $34.5 million from the pay account for the Guard and Reserve components, and directing that a report be submitted to the Committee no later than April 30, 1982 on enforcement measures taken and the number of personnel prosecuted. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 EQUIVALENT TRAINING SESSIONS In the fiscal year 1979 bill, the Committee included a general provision directing that reservists be permitted no more than four make-up sessions per year for missed drills. The Committee has reviewed several reports that indicate that the Navy Reserve is not complying with either the spirit or letter of the general provision that is continued into the fiscal year 1982 Defense Appropriations Bill. The Chief of Naval Operations in response to the Naval Audit Service stated that "it is reasonable to assume that the House Appropriations Committee will advise if it does not agree." The that the findings of the N h avy e Committee is hereby advising t Naval Audit Service are correct and should be implemented imme- diately. The Department of Defense is also requested to review this area and insure that action is taken by all Guard and Reserve components to comply with the Committee's direction. ARMY GUARD KEY PERSONNEL UPGRADE PROGRAM (KPUP) The Army Guard has begun implementation of the Key Person- nel Upgrade Program (KPUP) to provide additional training oppor tunities for key leaders from Army Guard units. The program permits NCO's and Officers to train alongside their active duty counterparts during operational exercises at times separate from their own unit's training program. In addition, Guard personnel may be called to active duty to function in an acting capacity during the absence of key active duty personnel. The Committee believes that this program should be expanded and is adding $3.0 million to the fiscal year 1982 request for this -effort. 3679 VIOLATION BY THE NAVY RESERVE The Reserve Personnel, Navy appropriation for fiscal year 1979 incurred a violation of Section 3679 of the Revised Statutes. The Navy has indicated that additional obligational authority is re- quired in order to pay the outstanding bills for services rendered. The Committee is therefore providing authority to transfer up to $100,000 from the fiscal year 1982 appropriation in order to liqui- date these obligations. The Committee, however, estimates that this amount will only be sufficient to cover the additional charge through this next summer. It is the Committee's intention to hold a separate hearing on the 3679 violation in order that the Depart- ment may fully document corrective action taken to ensure that procedures are in effect to prevent further instances of fiscal mis- management. GUARD AND RESERVE VARIABLE HOUSING ALLOWANCE CALCULATION Section 403 of Title 37 provides that a member of a guard or reserve component entitled to a basic allowance for quarters is also entitled to receive variable housing allowance if the housing costs in that area are substantially in excess of the BAQ provided. The Committee believes that the implementing regulation by the De- partment of Defense is unnecessarily cumbersome and confusing. f9r For example, a two weeks of training may well fly to everalldifferent tair bases in Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004---8 42 accordance with his training. Under current Department of De- fense regulations the variable housing allowance will be calculated independently for each of the several air bases visited even if for only as short a time as one day. The Committee believes that it would be both more logical and more equitable to the individual involved if the regulation covering implementation of guard and reserve variable housing allowance was based on the location of the unit or organization to which the member is permanently assigned and where the housing costs are actually incurred. AIR GUARD 105TH TASG SQUADRON Subsequent to the submission of the fiscal year 1982 budget to the Congress, the state of New York and the Air Force agreed to the transfer of the 105th Tactical Air Support Group (TASG) from Westchester Oounty Airport to vastly superior facilities at Stewart Airport. In addition to approximately $28 million of military con- struction that the Air Force has agreed to budget for over the next two years, the state of New York has - agreed to provide $6 million in construction funding for the Air National Guard unit upon transfer to Stewart. Because of the severe problem with the local community at Westchester and the first-rate facilities at Stewart, the Committee is adding $500,000 above the budget request and directing the Air Force to expeditiously move the 105th TASG to Stewart during fiscal year 1982. In addition, the Air Force is direct- ed to report by April 30, 1982 as to the potential for converting the 105th to an airlift or fighter mission as the O-2's currently as- signed are phased out. As discussed elsewhere in this report, the Marine Corps Reserve has also selected Stewart Airport as a home for an additional KC- 130 tanker squadron. The Committee is directing the Air Guard to ensure that the transfer of the 105th to Stewart is accomplished in such a fashion as to be compatible with the needs of a Marine Corps Reserve KC-130 tanker squadron in future years. GUARD AND RESERVE TECHNICIAN CONVERSION PROGRAM The Committee conducted an extensive hearing on the Guard and Reserve technician conversion program and includes the fol- lowing direction to the Department. Each reserve component will be free to determine the appropriate mix of fulltime military and. military techni- cians. Fulltime military and military technicians will have a mobilization assignment with the unit they support and be mobilized and deployed with that unit. Military technicians will, when directed by competent authority, travel on military aircraft on official business whether traveling in a military or civilian capacity. Military technicians will occupy government quarters based on military grade when in a travel status. DoD will take steps, including submission of any neces- sary legislative proposals, to clarify the authority of the states over military technicians serving in the National Guard not on active duty in a federal status. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 As a policy, similar skills within a reserve component will be standardized as either military technicians or full- time military. INVOLUNTARY INDIVIDUAL READY RESERVE TRAINING In a letter dated June 9, 1981, the Assistant Secretary of Defense uested that the re ti i L q cs s og for Manpower, Reserve Affairs, and Committee remove its prohibition against exercising the authority contained in 10 USC 270 allowing members of the reserve compo- nents to be ordered involuntarily to annual training. The Commit- tee directed that this practice be halted in 1975 in House Report 94-517. The Committee has reviewed the Department's recent request and agrees that it is increasingly important for members of the Individual Ready Reserve to be already trained for deployment. Therefore, the Committee removes the restriction on involuntary participation in military training for IRR members for those per- sonnel required in the first 30 days of mobilization possessing skills that require periodic refresher training to remain current. FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) With the establishment of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 1979, the Civil Defense function formerly per- formed by the DoD was assigned to that new Agency. Included in the programs and resources transferred to FEMA were individual Reservists and Reserve units that support the Civil Defense effort. In fiscal year 1981, FEMA assumed the responsibility, and did in fact provide funding for these Reserve units. However, the Commit- tee has learned that FEMA consciously did not budget for the resources necessary to support the fiscal year 1982 program. While the Department of Defense has taken the position that it is the responsibility of FEMA to provide funding for this program, an offset in the Defense budget of $1.6 million has been offered by the Department of Defense in order to leave sufficient room in the budget ceiling for the addition of funds to FEMA. The Committee is, therefore, deleting the $1.6 million from the Defense budget request since FEMA is pursuing the resources through their own budgetary process. AIR GUARD SKILL RETRAINING ? The Air National Guard has budgeted an insufficient amount,to provide for retraining military personnel who possess skills in plen- tiful supply into shortage skill areas. The Committee is adding $2.0 million to the request for this needed retraining program. Howev- er, the Committee is stipulating that the Air Guard should not use as a source of personnel those skills which are already filled to less than 95% of the requirement. AIR FORCE RESERVE TECHNICIAN TRANSFER As a result of the flexibility given to each Reserve component to establish its own technician conversion schedule, the Air Force Reserve has requested that the Committee transfer $4.6 million Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR00 - 44 from the Military Personnel account into the Operation and Main- tenance account. This adjustment is reflected in the appropriation summaries. IMPROVED RESERVE COMPONENT STRENGTH LEVELS Based upon information provided to the Committee, it appears that the Army Reserve and the Air Guard will exceed their budget- ed strength levels. The Committee encourages recruiting and reten- tion of qualified personnel for the Guard and Reserve components and is adding a total of $22.0 million above the budget to support this increase in projected strengths.

The recommended amount represents an increase of $1,044,015,000 over the fiscal year 1981 appropriation due primarily to projected increases in the Con- sumer Price Index and also due to the addition of retiring military and surviving annuitants to the rolls. Costs associated with military retired pay and benefits fall into four major categories: (1) pay of military personnel on the retired lists of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force; (2) military individuals receiving disability retirement payments on the basis of either permanent disability or temporary disability; (3) retainer pay for regular enlisted personnel of the Navy and Marine Corps Fleet Reserves; and (4) payments to eligible survivors under the terms of the Survivor Benefit Plan or its predecessor, the Retired Serviceman's Family Protection Plan. IMPACT OF ACTIVE DUTY "CATCH-UP" RAISE ON RETIRED PAY Under the terms of the Budget Impoundment and Control Act, the Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1981 was referred to the Appro- priations Committee for consideration. In the report published by the Committee, full support was given to a special "catch-up" pay raise for military personnel on 1 October 1981. Although the pay raise ranged to as high as 17%, on average it was close to the 14.3% requested by the present administration. Included within the 14.3% pay raise was 9.1% that was requested by the adminis- tration as the normal impact of inflation and wage increases in the private sector over the course of 1981. , That portion of the raise above 9.1%, i.e., 5.2%, is solely dedicated to providing a "catch-up" for active duty military personnel. While fully supporting the pay raise for active duty and reserve personnel, it appears that the Congress has overlooked the poten- tial multi-billion dollar impact of the catch-up pay raise on mili- tary retired pay costs. For example, an individual can work only one day at the new higher pay rates, then retire and have the base for his retired pay calculations increased by 14.3% for the entire length of his retirement. The Congress has already gone on record last year approving a phase-in of the high-three retirement system already in effect for civil servants in order to prevent exactly this action from taking place. The Committee believes it is appropriate to exclude the 5.2% "catch-up" raise from the calculation for military retirement bene- (49) Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 fits for military personnel who retire on or after January 1, 1982 and a general provision has been included in the bill to that end. The Committee, however, does anticipate phasing in the impact of the "catch-up" raise over the next three years by allowing 2% each year to be added to the retirement base. For example, beginning in FY 1983 only 3.2% of the "catch-up" raise would be excluded from the retired pay base for calculations and in fiscal year 1984 only 1.2% would be excluded. In FY 1985 no exclusion would be made. Although it is estimated that this will save many millions of dol- lars over the next several years, no specific dollar reduction has been made in the military retired pay account during FY 1982 due to the phase-in one-quarter of the way through the year. The Committee also urges the Department of Defense to press forward with implementation of an accrual accounting system for retired pay in order that the costs of retired pay be fully visible in the manpower planning process. According to existing statutes, a member of the military who retires with even one day more than six months service is credited for a full year. For example, an individual retiring with 23 years 6 months and one day of good service for retirement purposes is credited as if he had completed 24 full years of service. The Com- mittee is including a general provision in the bill which will round the service credit to the nearest month for any portion of a year in excess of six months- rather than rounding to the nearest full year. This action is in line with recommendations by the' Defense Man- power Commission and the Congressional Budget Office. It is esti- mated that modest savings will accrue in future years. As a result of changes enacted in the Budget Reconciliation Act to the Survivors Benefit Plan, the funding for the Retired Pay, Defense account can be reduced by $37.0 million.

This amount compares to a fiscal year 1981 including supplemental appropriations of $55,980,234,000 in new obligational authority. The accompanying bill recommends $61,208,685,000 in new obli- gational authority. The amount recommended represents a de- crease of $1,381,436,000 in new obligational authority from the fiscal year 1981 request as amended and is $5,228,451,000 above the total obligational authority provided in fiscal year 1981. These appropriations finance the costs of operating and main- taining the Armed Forces, including the Reserve components and related support activities of the Department of Defense, except military personnel costs. Included are amounts for pay of civilians, contract services for maintenance of equipment and facilities, fuel, supplies, and repair parts for weapons and equipment. Financial requirements are influenced by many factors, including force levels such as the number of aircraft squadrons, Army or Marine Corps divisions, installations, military strength and deployments, rates of operational activity, and quantity and complexity of major equip- ment (aircraft, ships, missiles, tanks, et cetera) in operation. The 1982 budget reflects a substantial increase to protect and enhance Defense readiness capabilities. Funds to operate the Active Forces and their support are con- tained in five operation and maintenance appropriations, one for each of the four services and one for Defense agencies. The pro- grams covered under this heading are described below: Strategic forces. -Strategic offensive forces include more than 400 manned B-52 and FB-111 bombers and 1,052 ICBM's operated by the Air Force as well as the Navy's submarine missile fleet, which deploys 568 Polaris, Poseidon, and Trident missiles. Two Trident submarines are scheduled to enter the fleet in 1982. Strategic defensive forces consist of interceptor fighter aircraft and various warning, command, and control systems also operated by the Air Force. General purpose forces.-These forces, primarily conventional in nature, provide the bulk of the flexible combat capability upon which our national security and our overall defense posture depend. A portion of these forces are deployed to Europe in support of NATO commitments, eastern Asian, and the western Pacific. Naval forces operate in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Army land forces consist of infantry, mechanized, armored, air- borne, air agsault divisions, and supporting force elements, along with a number of units for combat support. Modernization of combat units, including delivery of the XM-1 tank will continue. (51) Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Testing of new concepts for lighter, more deployable combat units has been initiated and will continue in 1982. Naval forces include aircraft carriers, submarines, amphibious forces, antisubmarine forces, and anti-air warfare forces. Twenty- four ships are scheduled to be introduced into the fleet in 1982: five nuclear attack submarines, two destroyers, five hydrofoil patrol missile combatants, eight guided missile frigates, two fleet oilers, one destroyer tender, and one nuclear aircraft carrier. Overage and obsolete vessels will be inactivated. Tactical air forces consist of the Air Force tactical air wings, Navy land and carrier based antisubmarine and fighter/attack air wings, and Marine air wings. Force missions include air superior- ity, interdiction bombing, close air support, antisubmarine patrol, reconnaissance, and special operations. The Navy will continue to deploy the F-14 to replace F-4's in the fleet air defense role. The Air Force will continue to fill out their 26-wing structure with continued delivery of the F-15, F-16, and A-10 aircraft. Marine Corps land forces, including combat and supporting units, are designed to conduct amphibious assault operations and other missions with the close support of Marine aviation. Intelligence and communications.-This program comprises the centrally directed Defense intelligence and security function, the major portion of the consolidated telecommunications program (CTP), the National Military Command System, and other special activities which are related to and support the missions of the combat forces in the strategic, general purpose, and airlift/sealift programs. Included in the CTP portion are the Defense Communi- cations System (DCS), common user transmission and switching systems, as well as non-DCS communications. Funds to support intelligence, security, and communications activities are contained in the various appropriations of each of the military services, and, in the Defense agencies are Navy oceanographic and weather pro- grams, Air Force weather, air rescue and recovery, and air traffic control programs. Airlift and sealift.-This program provides air, land, and sea transportation services for all the Armed Forces in peacetime as well as quick reaction strategic mobility and logistical support in wartime. The major commands in this program are the Air Force Military Aiflift Command, the Navy Military Sealift Command, and the Army Military Traffic Management Command. These are primarily industrially funded operations with costs reimbursed by the users. The operation and maintenance appropriations directly provide for certain administrative and base service support ex- penses for each of these industrially funded activities. Central supply and maintenance.-This program includes funds for specialized supply and maintenance activities. It provides re- sources for the determination of inventory levels, procurement of supplies, distribution, depot-level maintenance, and transportation of military material. These functions are managed by the military services and conducted at various locations worldwide. In addition, the Defense Logistics Agency provides common supply and services support to the military services within the continental United States and manages bulk petroleum worldwide. The Agency is the Defense manager for standby industrial plant Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 equipment, the surplus property disposal program, and the Federal catalog program. It is also responsible for providing contract ad- ministration services, administration of Defense materiel utiliza- tion programs and coordinated procurement programs. Training, medical, and other general personnel activities.-In 1982 the military services plan on acquiring approximately 340,000 new accessions into the Active Forces. These new accessions must then be trained in basic military skills and in many occupational skills. Training requirements are also influenced by the total strength of the services, and by the introduction of new equipment and weapons. Education of prospec- tive officers is accomplished primarily by the three service acade- mies and by Reserve Officer Training Corps units at universities and colleges. The services plan to operate 162 hospitals to provide medical care for active and retired military personnel and their dependents. This program finances a medical program at civilian facilities for personnel in areas where service hospitals are not accessible. In addition, this activity provides the resources neces- sary to operate the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Administration and associated activities. -This program includes the costs of departmental administration, major field command headquarters, and general support activities such as finance and audit. Reimbursement to the General Services Administration for space occupied is also included in this program. Support of other nations.-This program includes military assist- ance missions, advisory groups for foreign nations, and the U.S. share of NATO costs, plus support of U.S. organizations related to international military headquarters. Reserve Forces.-The operation and maintenance appropriations also include funds in a separate appropriation for each Reserve Component. These funds are used to equip, train, operate and maintain the Reserve Components of the Department of Defense. The budget request as amended by the Committee includes some major increases designed to improve Reserve forces capabilities and readiness. NON-PROGRAMMATIC REDUCTIONS, OPERATING ACCOUNTS AND REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURES Over the past several years, a phrase has crept into the vocabu- lary of Department of Defense officials with regard to reductions in funding ordered by this Committee. That phrase is "non-program- matic cuts." The phrase is intended to convey the impression that cuts levied by this Committee against a specified program or activity cannot, in fact, be taken against that activity. The result has been a Department policy that the cut will be taken elsewhere, usually against training or real property maintenance and in direct con- flict with the clear intent of the cut. One "fact sheet" circulated by DoD in connection with the con- sideration of this bill stated that a proposed $39 million reduction in a $640 million allowance item could not be taken, but that DoD would instead be forced to reduce manpower by 8,000 personnel. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Committee has grown increasingly intolerant of this ap- proach by the Department to Congressional action and hereby serves notice that this practice is to end. In order to help insure the Department's compliance with the above direction the Committee has attempted, with the help of defense department personnel, to allocate the operating appropri- ation reductions and additions to the summarized program element aggregate structure used as the basis for the Military Services and Defense agencies budget submissions. This summarized program element aggregate listing has been printed in conjunction with each of the operation and maintenance appropriations. The reduc- tion and additions in funding allocated by this Committee, if even- tually adopted by the Congress, will be levied against the specific program or activity impacted. The Committee expects to be notified of any changes larger than $5.0 million (plus or minus) that occur as a result of reallocation of resources between these program element aggregates. The Commit- tee does not want a specific accounting system established for this purpose or a single accountant or other bookkeeper added to the employment roles. It is desired, however, that the Committee be notified in writing whenever the headquarters budget offices of the military services or the offices of the Secretary of Defense and Comptroller Defense agencies become aware of a change which exceeds $5.0 million. The Committee also expects to be notified whenever a military service believes there are overriding reasons why a reduction approved by the Congress cannot be made as levied and explained in this report. The Committee expects to receive few of this latter type notification. FUEL AND ENERGY The Department of Defense Budget Request includes $10.5 billion for consumption of fuel. The following table provides an overview of the request by title: Fiscal year 1980 Fiscal year 1981 Fiscal year 1982 Barrels Barrels Barrels (mil- Cost (mil- Cost (mil- Cost lions) lions) lions) 0. & M .................................................................................................... 134.9 5,817 142.1 7,082 147.2 8,123 Industrial funds' ..................................................................................... 34.5 1,498 36.9 1,745 39.2 2,055 R.D.T. & E ............................................................................................... 2.4 104 2.2 105 2.2 117 Total ................................................................................................ 171.8 7,419 181.2 8,932 188.6 10,295 Mostly funded in 0. & M. In addition to the amounts above, the FY 1982 Budget includes $124.2 million in the Family Housing account, which is considered in another bill. The Budget request reflects a composite cost estimate per barrel of $55.86 or $1.33 per gallon. At the time the FY 1982 budget was submitted, the DoD estimate for FY 1981 was $51.24 or $1.22 per gallon. The Committee reduced the FY 1981 request by three cents Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 per gallon thereby providing funding in FY 1981 at $49.98 per barrel. Since the Committee action, the Department has experienced a softening of fuel prices. For the first 10 months of the year fuel costs averaged about $47.00 per barrel, almost $3 per barrel less than estimated. If that average prevails for all of FY 1981, the total costs of fuel will be approximately $543 million less than estimat- ed. This excess is not used to fund programs not approved by the Congress. Instead, it is retained as a cash balance in the DoD Stock Fund. All DoD fuel purchases are made through the Stock Fund. The Stock Fund "sells" the fuel to the "customers," at a stabilized price, i.e., the price approved by the Congress in the budget. As indicated in the table above, most of the customers are funded in the Operation and Maintenance accounts. Under the stabilized price concept, the difference between DoD costs and the stabilized price are reflected in the stock fund as a gain or* loss, with a corresponding increase or decrease in cash. Prices in future years are established so as to take into account the results of previous years, and the cash position of the Stock Fund. Generally, prices are set so as to have a 15 day cash position during the year. The FY 1982 stock fuel price of $1.33 per gallon included 3 cents per gallon to increase Stock Fund cash. Based on the 10 months experience in FY 1981 and current fuel costs of $47 per barrel, the FY 1982 estimates appear overstated. The Committee has adjusted the DoD request by 9 cents a gallon: This will fund a "composite" barrel of fuel at $52 in FY year 1982, an increase of 10% over the current level. The Committee recognized the uncertainties inherent in estimat- ing fuel prices. However, the procedures previously approved by this Committee will insure that readiness related programs will not be affected by this reduction. The Department has already stabi- lized its fuel products at the price included in the budget. Changing prices at this late date would disrupt orderly execution of the program. We expect the Department to continue to execute at the published prices. This should generate cash in the Stock Fund. The Stock Fund should be in a position to provide a refund to the customer accounts in the amounts reduced by the Committee. The price provided for in the bill ($52 per composite barrel) should be sufficient to cover expected fuel price increases in FY 1982. There is, however, always the possibility that the world oil markets could be unexpectedly upset or that OPEC will be able to force a higher price. If the cost of fuel exceeds the $52 per barrel cost and the Stock Fund has not generated the cash to provide the refund included in the Committee estimate, DoD can invoke R.S. 3732 to cover the difference. In discussing this procedure with DoD representatives, the Com- mittee became aware of a potential cash problem in the Stock Fund, unrelated to fuel costs. Because of the significant increases taking place in force levels, activity and the other increases in customer funding, the Stock Fund managers are projecting sizable increases in inventory requirements. DoD would normally utilize the cash generated by the overpricing of fuel to compensate for this requirement. However, while recognizing that DoD has the respon- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For.Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 sibility and authority to manage the overall cash in the Stock Fund to avoid disruption of Stock Fund procurement, we do not believe that the sizable buildup in Stock Fund inventories should be ac- complished through the pricing mechanism. Instead, DoD should request direct appropriations into the Stock Fund. Since the Com- mittee has not had an opportunity to review these new require- ments, we are not in a position to provide the appropriations in this bill. The Committee expects DoD to request direct appropri- ations to the Stock Fund in FY 1983. Meanwhile the Department is encouraged to provide advance payment on FY 1982 orders to alleviate the cash problem during the current fiscal year. The Committee action takes into account the September Revision which reduced the amount in the budget for fuel by $128 million.

Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061 OR000100.040004-8 JCS EXERCISES The Reagan Administration Budget contained major increases for Joint Chiefs of Staff directed and coordinated exercises. The original budget proposal was to increase the program from the $180 million level in fiscal year 1980 to $485.3 million in fiscal year 1982. The Committee's review of this estimate determined that it would be exceedingly difficult to conduct an exercise program of this size in fiscal year 1982 in lieu of the major increases in other (non-JCS directed and coordinated) exercises also scheduled. In fact, the original plan was so large that the Military Airlift Com- mand could not fly the entire program and still conduct necessary training and support of the overseas air logistics system. The origi- nal plan called for 62,000 C-141 equivalent flying hours of which the MAC was programmed to fly 45,000 with the balance being flown by commercial aviation. Because of the capability problem and the problem of finding suitable host nations in which to con- duct some of these exercises, the administration recommended a $79.4 million reduction in September. The Committee has increased this reduction by $33 million, $18.0 million in the Army O&M appropriation and $15.0 million in the Air Force appropriation. In addition, the bill as reported by the Committee transfers the trans- portation related funds from the individual military service appro- priations to the JCS (Defense Agency) appropriation where they can be managed, supported, and defended by the Joint Chief of Staff. THRUST MANAGEMENT/THRUST COMPUTING In January 1981, the Committee asked the General Accounting Office to follow-up on previous efforts by the Defense Audit Service on the use of thrust/power management for jet aircraft. A prelimi- nary report from the General Accounting Office dated October 27, 1981 (B-204813) dealt primarily with one particular system for measuring installed engine thrust. The analysis shows that accu- rate measurement in setting of thrust for installed jet engines is of vital importance not only for aircraft readiness and safety but also for operation and maintenance cost reductions. The Air Force has conducted extensive tests that will measure thrust of installed J85- 5 engines but has not implemented a program to do so. The Navy has not performed any test to determine whether its aircraft jet engines might benefit from a similar system. Engines trimed to minimum required installed thrusts operate at lower temperatures, which increases engine life and improves operational readiness. Also, safety of flights can be enhanced, particularly on take-off, when a mechanic has the ability to readily check and set installed engines to required thrusts. The Air Force has recently experienced major problems in at- tempting to deal with the thrust management problem on its high- est technology aircraft engine (the F-100) installed in F-15 aircraft. Engine durability has been much lower than expected and the Air Force responded by making a parts-saving decision to down-rate the F-100 that would produce 96 percent, plus or minus 2 percent of rated thrust. Unfortunately, the Air Force has no simple way to measure the thrust of installed engines and the procedures are Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 difficult. Because of the inability to measure installed thrust, it has been estimated by the Air Force that as many as 15 percent of the F-15 aircraft are operating below the detuned performance levels with some aircraft 15 percent below these levels. At this point aircraft safety could become a factor. Based upon extensive testing of the system designed for the J85- 5 engine, the Air Force estimates that it could save about $4.7 million annually in hot section parts and probably an equal amount in fuel savings. In addition safety can be enhanced by insuring that no aircraft are operating significantly below perform- ance standards. Although the Air Force has decided to implement the thrust computing system for its J85-5 engines no funds for this effort were requested in the fiscal year 1982 budget. If funds are not made available soon, the system may never be implemented be- cause the contractor has already waited two years while the Air Force made up its mind on the system. The GAO states that if funding is not provided, "the Air Force will lose millions of dollars already invested in the program in addition to the millions in projected savings, but more importantly, failure to implement the system may reduce aircraft readiness." In view of this situation the Committee has added $9 million to the aircraft modification pro- gram to complete the J-85-5 thrust computing work. The GAO will continue its work in reviewing thrust manage- ment, thrust computing and engine monitoring systems for the Committee. CIVILIAN PERSONNEL The budget for the Department of Defense proposes a moderate increase in civilian personnel end strength numbers. This is in contrast to a steady decline throughout the decade of the 1970's. The Committee believes that the civilian personnel ceilings have served as a deterrent to the effective and economical execution of the Defense budget. Because of the ceilings, the Department has had to depend on consultant contractors to perform technical engi- neering and management support services. Efforts in shipyards, depots, and repair facilities appear to be adequately funded but undermanned because of the personnel ceiling. The responsibility for lower than adequate Defense personnel levels rests with the Administation. The two percent latitude in civilian personnel hiring provided by the Congress would easily allow the Defense Department to man all of its requirements. The Administration, through the OMB, continues to impose artificial ceiling constraints on programs that the Congress has fully funded. An increase of from ten to twenty thousand (10,000-20,000) spaces would allow the Department to perform its mission with no in- crease in funding and with a corresponding decrease in consulting contracts. Keeping in mind the Administration's policy of increased De- fense readiness, the Committee urges that civilian personnel ceil- ings for the Department of Defense be eliminated. Otherwise the logic of major funding increases for defense provided in this bill make little sense. Obviously, the amounts requested by the Admin- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 istration in 1982 exceeded the work level that could be executed because of the civilian personnel limitation 'in many areas.

In fiscal year 1979, the Committee placed a general provision in the bill for the first time which limited payments that the DoD can make to the Department of Labor for the federal employee compensation fund at $170.6 million in lieu of the $182.1 million requested at that time. Each year the Committee has con- tinued such a limitation awaiting improvements in administrative procedures. There are indications that the Department of Labor has tightened up these requirements and has made some steps in reducing the numbers of personnel on the disability compensation roles. In June 1981, the Secretary of Labor transmitted to the Congress a number of proposals to lower costs of the program. The draft bill, "The Federal Employee's Reemployment Compensation Amendments of 1981," is designed to assure that federal workers, disabled as result of their employment are returned to gainful work as soon as possible. This legislation is designed to: (1) alter the compensation rate for disability to 80 percent of spendable income which is defined as gross pay less standard tax deductions; (2) establish a seven work day waiting period before a claimant with a traumatic injury could receive compensation benefits in order to promote the return to work of employees with less serious disabilities; (3) authorize agencies to advance compensation to em- ployees when there is medical information pointing to serious dis- ability; (4) make mandatory the cut-off of disability benefits of an employee who unjustifiably fails to accept rehabilitation; and (6) authorize employing agencies to withhold from the pay of an em- ployee who has returned to work the amount of compensation overpayments made, if any, in order to help assure that such amounts are collected. Since the Committee's policy of recent years has been to reduce the amount paid by the DoD into the employee compensation fund to an amount equal to the average cost increase of the direct labor for that year in order to encourage passage of legislation similar to that described above, the Committee is once again proposing to limit DoD's payment. The Committee is recommending a payment Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 of $206.1 million to the fund in lieu of the $229.5 million requested. This is an increase of approximately 7 percent from the $192.8 million provided in FY 1981. Section 735 of the bill contains this limitation. CIVILIAN PERSONNEL PROGRAM EVALUATION In January 1981, the Defense Audit Service completed a review of DoD civilian personnel program evaluation systems. In accord- ance with a 1969 Office of Personnel Management directive, each of the military departments established a civilian personnel pro- gram evaluation function. The civilian personnel program evalua- tion systems established by each military department differ sub- stantially in organization, structure, staffing and methods of pro- viding oversight of civilian personnel activities to higher levels of management. The auditors found that none of the military depart- ments routinely provided the results of individual on-sight reviews to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower, Reserve Affairs and Logistics) for DoD-wide assessment. In general, it was found that the value of these reviews in terms of the policy evaluation and development process was marginal. Considering the $3.5 million annual cost the Committee recommends that such efforts be cut back. It is difficult to understand how the reviews can have much impact in changing federal government civilian personnel policy if their results are not provided to higher manage- ment levels in a meaningful format for assessment and eventual transmittal to the Office of Personnel Management. Accordingly a reduction of $1.6 million is recommended in the bill. REEMPLOYMENT TRAVEL BENEFITS In 1954, Congress passed Public Law 83-737 (5 U.S.C. 5728 (a)). This law provides that the government will pay round trip ex- penses for employees and their immediate families from their post of duty outside the continental United States to their places of residence at the time of employment for transfer to such posts, so that these.employees can take leave. Employees recruited in the United States for duty in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico or the territories and possessions are eligible for the annual vacation leave travel. The largest portion of the cost of this travel is for personnel recruited within the continental United States who are employed in Hawaii. According to the Defense Audit . Service, 814 eligible employees have been in Hawaii an average of 12 years and as long as 38 continuous years. The current estimated total cost for all areas for all government agencies is in excess of $2.5 million annually. The bill contains a general provision which will limit the number of such trips to one per eligible employee during his employment in the affected areas. The Department of Defense, the General Serv- ices Administration and the Office of Personnel Management sup- port changes in the law which will restrict such travel. Employees would retain their entitlement for transportation back to the conti- nental United States if their employment were terminated. They will also have the benefit of one free vacation trip during the tour at an "overseas" location. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 SUPPLY AND OTHER LOGISTICS ACTIVITIES The DoD has placed most of its priorities and funds in areas of R&D and the procurement of weapons systems. The logistical sup- port for those weapons systems on-line or coming into the inven- tory has been sorely neglected for many years. The Appropriations Committee has practically begged DoD in years past to submit adequate budgets for operating spares. This problem has been rec- ognized and successfully dealt with in the last two Defense budgets. The logistics segment of DoD's readiness posture while receiving lower funding priority does receive more than its share of "man- agement systems." DoD employs legions of accountants and com- puter programmers to track funds passed between and among var- ious DoD activities. The complexity of the systems created by these accountants and computer programmers boggles the mind. Stock funds (at least 20 separate systems), numerous industrial funds, vast systems of property accountability, and control have turned combat commanders into clerks who read and respond to volumi- nous products produced by the accountants and programmers. In spite of this effort, the Investigative Staff found that the 82nd Airborne Division, the Army's premier combat outfit, frequently failed to submit requisitions for material they needed (material which was readily available at Army depots) due to the fact that they did not have sufficient Army O&M funds to procure the item from the Army stock fund! Each military service has its own supply capability, supplement- ed by the Defense Logistics Agency and the General Services Ad- ministration. Duplication, overlapping, and even waste abounds in this area, and attempts by OSD to make improvements in supply management and reduce costs have met with great resistance on the part of the military services. As a consequence, the DoD is saddled with myriad inefficient and costly supply systems. The following section of the report addresses supply and other logistics activities in more detail. Included are discussions of spare parts provisioning, positioning of spares, inventory control proce- dures, procurement of non-standard/non-stocked items, consumable item management, loss and theft of equipment government fur- nished material, etc. The Committee has allocated a general reduc- tion of $54.2 million to the various O&M appropriations. There is of course the potential for saving hundreds of millions of dollars annually if the shortcomings, mismanagement and waste docu- mented on the following pages could be eliminated. SPARE PARTS PROVISIONING The military services maintain inventories in order to furnish requested material within specified leadtimes and to meet surge mobilization requirements when an emergency requires it. With needed inventories on hand at depots, the customers (using organi- zations) do not have to wait for their needs to be satisfied by a manufacturer. Since the inventory manager's mission is to satisfy the customer's request in a timely manner, he must place orders with the manufacturers and receive the material in advance of customer's requests. To do this, the inventory manager must be able to forecast customer's future needs or requests. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 The most accurate method of forecasting these requirements is to know which items in what quantities have failed or were needed in the past-historical evidence or prior experience. As long as the same systems remain in use and perform like functions or missions in similar environments, requirements to support them in the future will statistically approximate prior experience. When new weapon systems are brought into the military serv- ices, spare parts must be procured and placed at the various orga- nizational levels to support those systems during their initial de- ployment. The range and quantities of the new spare parts in most instances are determined on the basis of engineering or other technical estimates, since past requirements experience is not available. This process is known as initial provisioning. Failure to complete provisioning review DoD directives state that after an item has been used in an operational environment for 2 years, the use of estimated factors is prohibited. They also state each responsible organization will main- tain a 2-year history of part numbers, and stocked and nonstocked item requisitions received by the inventory control managers for the purpose of identifying for review and possible stockage of those items which subsequently meet DoD stockage criteria on the basis of actual demand. In the Army, this subsequent determination of the range and quantities of items to be included in the inventory for support of additional systems operationally introduced is supposed to be based on a "post provisioning review." This review is to be conducted 12 to 18 months after initial deployment of a weapons system which begins the Demand Development Period (DDP). It is to be a valida- tion of the adequacy and validity of selection of the range and quantity of spare parts made in the initial provisioning. Further- more, this review requires that revisions to the initial provisioning be made as expeditiously as practicable. In general, the military services have not been determining their requirements for spare parts subsequent to initial provisioning-on actual failure/demand rates. The military services should be using actual data for computing requirements at 24 months of experience after initial deployment and thereafter. The Army's Blackhawk helicopter was first fielded in October 1978; however, the Army indicated its DDP would run from No- vember 1979 to January 1982. The Army has been using contractor support and has received very little operational demand data for the spare parts needed to support this system. The Navy plans to assume supply support responsibilities from the contractor for the F/A-18 aircraft in October 1982 and only then will it begin its DDP. This is approximately 21/z years after the first aircraft became operational. - As a result, actual operational demands will not be used com- pletely to compute requirements for spares to support these Army and Navy systems for approximately 4 years after their initial deployment. These years are arrived at by computing the -time frame from the date of first delivery (to a unit for operational -use) to 2 years after the service planned date of beginning its DDP. The rationale for using actual operational data as soon as possible is Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 65 evident from the failure rates experienced by the Air Force for the F-16. In its March 19, 1980, report on Repair Parts Provisioning at the Army Missile Command (MICOM), the Army Audit Agency dis- closed that provisioning reviews were not being made to determine whether the kinds and quantities of repair parts supplied to sup- port past deployments of the end items were correct or should be revised for use in future deployments. Army Regulation 710-1 pro- vides that when the extent of failures, as shown by the number of demands for a part, varies from the initial failure factor used for initial provisioning estimates, a review should be made to deter- mine the causes and adjust the estimates to be used in the future. Army Audit stated significant differences existed between estimat- ed and actual failure rate for over 15,000 repair parts. Further- more, the Army Audit Agency found 23 of 100 highly demanded repair parts were not even listed on the support list allocation cards. These cards identify the items and quantities estimated to be needed for support during the initial deployment period. The report stated, because most failure factors were not reviewed and updated as required, there was no assurance the range and quantity of repair parts and components to be provided on future deployments of the same weapon systems would be corrected. OSD has stated that present policy allows for the transition to use of actual experience in the requirements computation and this transition should be made as soon as possible, with a maximum allowable time of 2 years. Discussions with DOD officials indicate although this is the stated policy, OSD has no management con- trols, other than internal or GAO audits, to effectively ensure the policy is carried out as intended. CANNIBALIZATION AND "HANGAR QUEENS" DOD SOLUTION TO SPARE PARTS PROVISIONING FAILURES Cannibalization is a short term fix. It is extremely expensive in terms of man-hours, because the part must be removed and re- placed twice instead of just once. Because a good part may be damaged during removal, the overall spares requirement generated by cannibalization will be more than one-for-one in the long run. "Hangar queen" is the term applied to a piece of equipment that is deadlined and then "plundered" of its parts to make another piece of equipment operational. Any aircraft deadlined more than 21 days because of the lack of spares is designated a "hangar queen. The services are concerned over cannibalization and "hangar queens." The pressure of maintaining a high readiness posture and the failure of the logistics system to provide critically needed spares, has forced cannibalization combat units. It is a very expen- sive proposition when seven aircraft, costing $20 million each are on "static display" due to lack of spare parts (some costing as little as $5). This results in the following situations: At one A-10 base 60 percent of the parts used to repair grounded aircraft were obtained by cannibalization. Of 151 parts on order for the A-10s TF-34 engine 75 of the orders were the result of cannibalization. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 66 The F-15 aircraft still experiences very high cannabilization and higher hangar queen rates only through intensive "man- ,agement" have the rates been kept from going even higher. A lack of spare parts for helicopter engines, in part because the manufacturer is overcommitted to producing M-1 tank engines has reduced the operational readiness of Army helicop- ters in Europe. The F-16 is experiencing a cannibalization rate of 1.5 per- cent per 100 sorties and maintenance personnel estimate that it will reach 30 per 100 sorties. Ten percent of F-111's are hangar queens. The M-730 tracked vehicle for the CHAPARRAL missile system which has been in the Army inventory in large number for over a decade has serious parts shortages. It is not uncom- mon to tow the M-730 into field positions. Even less sophisticated standard commercial items such as the Dodge (M-880) pickup truck cannot be maintained. The Army accepted from a contractor a circuit card for the HAWK system that was unreliable and placed the so called improved HAWK at a zero operational ready rate for a period of time. POSITIONING SPARE PARTS The Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) has not positioned its spare parts inventories at the air logistics centers which could best service customers while still minimizing distribution cost. Most of this inventory is first stored at an air logistics center with item management responsibility, and then shipped long distances to using activities located at or near air logistics centers. The Air Force can save up to $28.7 million on inventory investment costs and $1.8 million yearly in handling, transportation, and inventory holding costs by storing spare parts at the air logistics center located nearest the ultimate user. The Air Force reports limited progress in correcting this situation. A serious lack of spare parts has degraded the operational readi- ness status of DOD's weapon systems. This tragic state has resulted from the military services' mismanagement of the provisioning, procurement, and budgetary processes. The military services must shoulder the blame themselves. Their failures to (1) conduct the required post provisioning reviews, (2) respond to documented pro- visioning and procurement abuses, and (3) develop accurate re- quirements for spare parts, have jeopardized the readiness of front- line weapon systems. While many DOD officials point to a declining industrial base as the cause of the shortage of spare parts, the DOD provisioning procedures are also a major cause for this situation. The production of new weapon systems is primary, the support of existing systems is secondary. Replenishment of spares takes a "back seat" to getting new weapon systems deployed to field units. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 67 INVENTORY CONTROL PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES Validation of Outstanding Requisitions DOD and the military services have established procedures for reconciliation and validation of outstanding requisitions. The pur- pose is to identify requisitions for supplies and materials no longer needed. These procedures are inconsistent, overlapping, and dupli- cative and they have not been effective. As a result, requisitions for material no longer required have not been cancelled and, converse- ly, valid requisitions have been erroneously cancelled-seriously delaying the receipt of needed supplies by combat units. Over the years, numerous GAO, DOD, and military service audit reports have demonstrated the inadequacy of the reconciliation validation procedures, particularly the lack of understanding of the concept of the reconciliation/validation process and the perfunc- tory performance by personnel involved. The reports demonstrated the resulting procurement or stockage of unneeded materials worth hundreds of millions of dollars through the failure to promptly cancel requisitions for unneeded materials. Many of the findings of the earlier reports will be reiterated in two reports soon to-be issued by GAO and the Army Audit Agency (AAA). A synopsis of these findings follows. -Requisitioning activities do not always furnish listings or cards of outstanding requisitions to the end-user. -When listings or cards were furnished to the end-user, they are not always returned and the requisitioning activity does not followup. -Review for continuing need of an item by the requisitioner is perfunctory. -End-users do not always report receipt of materials requisi- tioned. -End-users do not request cancellation of requisitions filled by other means such as lateral transfer from another organiza- tion, substitution, repair, etc. -Cancellations attributed to the reconciliation/validation proc- esses are overstated because- many (67 percent) of the cancellation reported resulted from normal day-to-day operations rather than the reconcili- ation/validation processes, y, the Army, unlike other military services, included requisi- tions for major end items in its reconciliation/validation processes (these accounted for only a small percentage of the number of cancellations but a large percentage of the dollar value of cancellations) and these requisitions should not be included, rejected requisitions are counted as cancellations although they were usually corrected and put in subsequently as new requisitions, and cancellations are included in the reported statistics al- though the material had been received and were duplicates of previous normal day-to-day operations cancellations. -Cancellations, particularly automatic cancellations for nonre- sponse, are frequently reinstituted in a subsequent period. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 68 -Requisitioners requested cancellation without regard to the dollar value of the requisition or supply status of the material although the ICP will not cancel a requisition if (1) there is a record of a transportation release at the depot and the dollar value is less than $25 or (2) the item is backordered for direct delivery procurement and the dollar value is less than $50. The Committee's Investigative Staff observed similar findings during its review. As described above, the . impression is clearly drawn of a harrassed stock clerk, repetitively shuffling through his dog-eared files to satisfy the requirements of the various reconcili- ation and/or validation processes to the extent that normal day-to- day requisitioning and cancellation are not accomplished promptly, if at all. These processes are inconsistent, overlapping, and duplica- tive in that the ages of requisitions, types of requisitions, sources of supply, and cycles vary. The Investigative Staff concludes that (1) time and effort is de- voted to procedures which provide little more than a records-to- records check between the wholesale and retail supply levels, (2) reported savings resulting from the procedures are exaggerated and misleading, and (3) standardizing and strengthening of proce- dures under a single monthly "bottom-up" process offers the best chance for a viable user validation program. The various inconsist- ent, overlapping, duplicative, and time-consuming efforts for top- down, bottom-up, and other periodic reconciliation/validation proc- esses should be eliminated in favor of a single standardized valida- tion process. The reconciliation function should be accomplished in a time frame which takes into account the capabilities and needs of all the parties involved. Most importantly, specific procedures and training should be provided to personnel involved in the process. The Committee urges the Department to get on with the process of standardizing the supply validation process in the interests of saving money and at the same time improving supply support. MATERIAL RETURN PROGRAM The Department of Defense has a standard program for manag- ing material eligible to be returned to the wholesale supply system that has been in effect for about two years. While the new system is an improvement in that it .provides wholesale managers with better visibility of retail stock, the Defense auditors determined that significant savings could be achieved if wholesale managers did not instruct activities holding the stock to ship it, including excess material, to a supply depot but instead directly to a custom- er who had a back ordered requisition for the material. There is a need'to build into this system changes which preclude unnecessary handling of material excess to one activity but required at another activity. The auditors estimate that correcting this problem can save at least $5.8 million annually in unnecessary shipping and handling costs. In addition they identified another $2.6 million in savings to be achieved simply by instructing military activities to retain in storage material which they report as excess to that. activity and which is also excess to the wholesale management requirements. There is also 'a tendency to throw good things away (disposal actions) and buy the same thing at the same time. DOD and Air Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Force auditors reported that the Air Force has a policy which permits wholesale managers to authorize disposal of material when wholesale assets exceeded the wholesale approved force acquisition objective, without consideration of the wholesale retention level. This policy was contrary to DOD instructions. It was estimated that the Air Force made some 98,000 unauthorized disposal actions annually. The Defense auditor concluded "that as many as 122,000 disposals of defected material, worth at least $2.4 million, were authorized annually which may be required to support operational equipment." The Air Force can save at least $1.0 million annually by shipping items in need of repair directly to the repair center (either ALC or a contractor facility) rather then returning material to the logistic center with management responsibility for the item. The Air Force is in the process of attempting to correct this problem. EXCESS MATERIAL AND SUPPLIES RETAINED AT NAVY INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES Navy industrially funded activities (shipyards, aircraft repair facilities, weapons stations, etc.) continue to retain material and supplies far in excess of amounts permitted by the Navy controller manual. Despite repeated findings by the Navy Audit Service these activities continue to expand their shop stores or materials and supply accounts in excess of inflationary increases. Causing the Navy-wide total to grow from $249.2 million at the end of fiscal year 1979 to $304 million at the end of fiscal year 1980. Material inventories maintained at the Navy Air Rework Facili- ty, Cherry Point, North Carolina, have consistently been above that authorized to meet the production demands of the facility. Navy auditors reported this situation in February 1978. Subsequent to that report, the inventory has increased 58 percent in value to $10.3 million at the time of the next audit and excesses on hand at that time were $6.6 million or 64 percent of the Cherry Point NARF's total inventory. Despite statements that the unneeded ma- terial inventory would be reduced, it in fact grew to $11.2 million by the end of fiscal year 1980. The Navy could not tell the Commit- tee how much of these excesses had been returned to the supply system and how much was sent to property disposal. In fact, accounting for supplies at least in the aircraft portion of the Navy industrial system has deteriorated despite the introduc- tion of an elaborate Industrial Material Management System. This system records material transactions and accounting data and con- trols inventory range and depth based on accepted Economic Order Quantity Inventory Control Principles. This system costs about one million dollars annually to operate. The Committee estimates that one time savings of $30 to $40 million are possible through proper management of material inven- tories at Navy Industrial Activities. NON-STANDARD/NON-STOCKED ITEMS In addressing the matter of invalid requests for non-standard/ non-stocked items through the supply system, last years Committee report (No. 96-1317) stated that: `Based upon these findings, the Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 70 Committee directs that the DLA place in effect a challenge system on these requisitions until such time as the customers (military services) have a valid requisition rate for nonstandard/nonstocked items which exceeds 90 percent for at least 18 months." DoD has done nothing to comply with the Committee's direction on this matter. Recently the Committee Surveys and Investigations Staff re- viewed procedures for requesting these types of items by interview- ing numerous DoD officials at Inventory Control Points and at the working level, and determined that if nonstandard and nonstocked requisitions are "challenged" for validity from the Inventory Con- trol Point back to the requisitioner, savings in unnecessary pro- curement could exceed $140 million annually. The Defense Audit Service (DAS) found in June 1979 the Defense Logistics Agency's procedures did not provide for the special valida- tion of requisitions for nonstandard and nonstocked items. A statis- tical sampling of these requisitions showed that, if questioned, about 23 percent of the requisitions would be cancelled because the requirements were invalid. The. Defense Electronics Supply Center DAS found that $5.6 million could be saved annually by suspending requisitions pending the validation of nonstandard and nonstocked requirements. The failure to cancel the invalid requisitions for nonstandard and nonstocked items results in a virtual loss of the money spent to buy them. These items are not authorized for stockage; thus, they cannot be returned and, as a result, they are probably disposed of in new condition when they are received. The Services have failed to respond to the Committee direction to challenge these requisitions because they believe new procedures will (1) increase workload, (2) increase message traffic, (3) delay support, (4) possibly evolve into wholesale validations and cancella- tion of requisitions if users do not respond, and (5), savings are questionable. The Committee's Investigation staff has reviewed this matter again and found that a nonstandard, nonstocked requisition chal- lenge process can be effective. For example, the Army's Missile Command supply center has a procedure to challenge requisitions for nonstocked items coded Issue Priority Group III (routine replen- ishment). Nonresponse to the challenge within 30 days results in cancellation by the supply center. During the past two quarters, 230 such requisitions were challenged, of which 5 were validated by the requisitioner, 5 were requested to be cancelled, and 220 were cancelled for nonresponse. The Investigative Staff found Defense Logistics Agency supply centers had filled about 540,000 requisitions for nonstandard and nonstocked items with a standard price of about $185 million during the first half of FY 1981, or an annual rate of about $370 million. These figures exclude requisitions-considered to be inap- propriate to be subjected to a challenge process-for fuels, subsist- ence, and Military Assistance Programs. Projection of the 19 percent, (requisitions validated for cancella- tion) discussed above, means that about $70 million of nonstandard and nonstocked items may be procured by DLA during FY 1981 even though the-items are no longer needed by the requisitioner. The Investigative Staff believes this figure could be doubled to $140 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 million if requisitions for such items managed by the military services and GSA were included. In view of the above finding, the Committee is repeating the directions made last year to establish a system to challenge such requisitions until there is a long term indication that at least 90 percent of requests for non-standard/non-stocked items are valid and cannot be filled by a substitute stocked item. Automatic can- cellation after a 30 day failure in responding to the challenge should also be instituted. CONSUMABLE ITEM MANAGEMENT Each of the services and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) operate separate facilities required to receive, store, and issue the material for which it has wholesale management responsibilities. There exists a multiplicity of managers performing essentially du- plicative functions for the same types of consumable material. Each manager has developed his own management philosophy, policies, procedures, and data systems, resulting in significant waste, particularly in the areas of manpower and supporting facili- ties costs. Additionally, the consolidation of procurement require- ments for classes of consumable items rarely occurs. Thus, the possibility for substantial savings, which could be achieved by ap- plying DLA's much higher level of price competition, is lost. Spe- cifically, during FY 1979 the military services awarded 25 percent of their procurement dollars competitively compared with 68 per- cent achieved by DLA centers. An analysis by the Defense Logistics Analysis Office (DLAO) reveals that, "For each 1 percent that DLA improves competition beyond the level achieved by the Services an annual savings of $12.7 million will result." In December 1978, the Office of the Secretary of Defense pro- posed the transfer of consumables from the military services to DLA in order to achieve total potential savings of $200 to $300 million. The proposal provided data which demonstrated that DLA's management of consumables will improve DOD's overall logistics readiness and reduce costs. The Committee supported this effort. The Army, Air Force, and to a lesser extent the Navy, are opposed to the consolidation of consumables under DLA for reasons that can be classified as parochial and sometimes emotional. Further Savings in Item Management Transfer Can Be Achieved A further review by the Committee's Investigations Staff indi- cates that the transfer of the remaining 1.3 million consumable items from the services to DLA could realistically result in annual saving of $200-$300 million. These savings will be achieved through the reduction of personnel and facilities as well as more stream- lined, efficient, and economic procurement practices. In addition to these "direct" savings other major indirect savings could occur if all consumable items were transferred to DLA making it no longer necessary for the military services to each operate separate stock funds. The largest potential area for savings clearly lies in achieving more efficient and economic procurement procedures. A review of FY 1979 procurement data reveals that the military services Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 awarded only 25,percent of their procurement dollars competitively for consumable items compared with 68 percent achieved by the DLA centers for the same type of items. The Defense Analysis Office presented the following data to sup- port the competitive procurement difference between the military services and DLA centers for items subject to transfer. Percent Fiscal year 1979 total Competitive Non- competitive competitive DLA .................................................................................................................. $1,398.6 $948.4 $450.2 67.8 Services ............................................................................................................ 7,570.9 1,918.9 ' 5,652.0 25.3 DLA has an aggressive program for "breaking" sole-source pro- curements. The objective of the program is to review currently noncompetitive purchased items, to find or develop additional tech- nical data, and to interest new sources to bid on their solicitations in order to expand competitive procurement. The analysis of the results of this program at three DLA centers shows the following: DLA PROCUREMENT EVALUATION DOLLAR SAVINGS, FISCAL YEAR 1978 Cost before DLA Cost after DlA Savings evaluation evaluation Percent savings DISC (172 cases) ................................................................................... $3,834 $1,563 $2,271 59.2 DESC (48 cases) .................................................................................... 2,636 1,502 1,134 43.0 DCSC (283 cases) .................................................................................. 6,804 4,204 2,600 38.2 Total (503 cases) ............................................................................... 13,274 7,269 6,005 45.2 During FY 1980 the military services made $3.748 billion in wholesale stock fund purchases. Assuming the DLAO competitive percentage for the services is still valid (25 percent), then approxi- mately $2.811 billion of these purchases were made noncompetitive- ly. If these consumable items are transferred to DLA and DLA applies its procurement evaluation effort to these items, the poten- tial for savings is $1:270 billion ($2.811 billion times 0.452), or for each 1 percent that competition increases beyond the level current- ly being achieved by the services, an annual savings of $12.7 mil- lion will result ($1.27 billion divided by 100). The military services could possibly achieve some of these sav- ings under the current distribution of consumable items. However, there are several factors which mitigate against pursuing this course. First, the Investigative Staff, in numerous discussions with military service procurement officers, perceived that these officers are primarily interested in receiving a quality product, when they need it, from a contractor who causes few, if any, problems. Cost- effectiveness and the pursuit of competition are less important considerations in their procurement philosophy, analysis, and pro- cedures. Second, each of the services and DLA are procuring the same type items from various contractors around the country. There is no single source of information to determine the total Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 DOD requirements for a particular type of item. The Investigative Staff is working with the Defense Contract Administration Service (DCAS) to develop the magnitude of this situation. The Military Services' Objections While the reasons for effecting the consolidation of consumables at DLA appear to be overwhelming, the Army, the Air Force, and to a lesser extent the Navy, are opposed to this proposal. Their concerns lie in three major areas: readiness (supply support), item complexity, and the validity of the economic analysis. Each of these objectives is analyzed in some detail in the Committee's staff report on this matter. (See pages 60-66). The material is too voluminous to repeat here. The data presented shows that to a major extent the military services objections to any further transfer of consumable items are a parochial attempt to retain control over supply system manpower assets which can be better utilized by the Defense Logis- tics Agency. The services can interminably rebut, or disagree with any eco- nomic analysis performed by any organization regardless of qualifi- cations. It is virtually impossible to perform the finite analysis the services will continue to insist on. The Investigative Staff feels that there is sufficient data and evidence upon which to make a decision on this matter. There are a number of management considerations that deserve attention and emphasis in accomplishing the proposal to transfer management of 1.3 million consumable items from the military services to DLA. However, in view of the magnitude of the estimated annual savings in direct costs of between $63 million and $124 million, and in view of the Secretary of Defense legal respon- sibility to, "take appropriate action (including transfer, reassign- ment, consolidation or abolition of any function, power or duty) to provide more effective, efficient, and economical administration and operation and to eliminate duplication in the Department of Defense;" it appears that the proposed realignment of management for all consumable items should be directed for implementation without further delay. The Committee notes that the Deputy Secre- tary of Defense has directed the process of item management trans- fer to begin in a limited way with 200,000 items. LOSS AND THEFT OF EQUIPMENT DOD makes adjustments to its inventories valued at billions of i6 dollars each year. These adjustments have been noted in numerous reports by GAO and the various DOD audit agencies. The losses have generally been attributed to (1) weakness in supply manage- ment of equipment under control of the services, (2) highly inaccu- rate financial inventory report data, (3) the use of tens of thou- sands of codes involved in processing transactions through supply and financial records, (4) high turnover rate for personnel involved in complex supply and financial systems, (5) physical inventory adjustments, (6) losses in transit, and (7) reported theft. The Investigative Staff directed its attention to the procedures used by DOD to control or account for cargo/items which enter, the Defense logistics pipeline. These procedures were found to be con- fusing, conflicting, and poorly coordinated. As a result, millions of dollars of Defense cargo is routinely reported as "missing" and Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 74 little, if any, effort is made to resolve these discrepancies. Addition- ally, the Investigative Staff has obtained strong evidence that the confusing nature of the DOD cargo accountability procedures is causing many activities to ignore the reporting procedures and thus, the extent of the total losses cannot be fully determined. ARMY The U.S. Army Material Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM), the largest inventory manager in the Army, reported the average value of its inventory during fiscal year 1980 to be nearly $15.9 billion. During the same period inventory adjustments showed a net loss of $24.6 million out of about $950.8 million of adjustments, .$463.1 million in gains and $487.7 million in losses. NAVY The Navy has a long and continuing problem of financial control over its inventories. Since 1966, the Navy Audit Service has issued more than 80 reports showing that the Navy's financial inventory report data is highly inaccurate due to numerous different types of problems and/or errors that occur in both the financial and supply system records. In its most recent report of February 2, 1979, the Navy Auditor General stated the Navy financial inventory report showed an inventory of $13 billion as of the end of fiscal year 1979. During the same year a total of $29.3 billion inventory gain and loss adjustments were noted in the financial inventory report. AIR FORCE The Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) had sales from stock and industrial funds of $8.74 billion during fiscal year 1980. During the same period, AFLC made 170,756 inventory adjustments with a total gross value of $194 million. Of this amount $92 million was for inventory increase and $102 million was for inventory de- crease-a net decrease of $10 million. MARINES Out of a total inventory of over $2.7 billion, the Marine Corps made a total of $87.7 million in physical inventory adjustments resulting in a net gain of over $8.8 million during fiscal year 1980. During the same period accounting adjustments totaled $165.3 mil- lion for a het gain of over $9.4 million. DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) had sales of nearly $10.8 billion during fiscal year 1980. During the same period, DLA had physical inventory adjustments of $222.8 million, which included 117.1 million in gains and $105.7 million in losses, for a net gain of $11.4 million. These adjustments are the result of differences between stock records and book balances, adjustments made to vouchers and 'inspection reports, and differences in transfer docu- ments.. In fiscal years 1978 and 1979 the Defense Personnel Support Center, major DOD supply center of DLA lost control of hundreds Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 of millions of dollars in stock funds. The center made adjustments of about $566 million in an attempt to correct its financial records but the validity of most of these adjustments could not be deter- mined because of inadequate documentation. These accounts were certified as correct by officials at the center ite their knowledge of the center's financial problems. des p During the course of its review the Investigative Staff noted a number of significant instances where Government property was stolen, unaccounted for, or misappropriated. The Surveys and In- vestigations Staff Report pages 17-18 list some examples of theft. Audit reports and the semi-annual Report to the Congress on Audit, Inspection and Investigative Organizations contain many more. It is clear that some DOD procedures used for the accountability of its property are confusing, contradictory, and poorly coordinated. Even the author of one of the primary property accountability regulations found his and the related regulations to be confusing. The Investigative Staff found that this confusion extended from the Inventory Control Points down to and including individual combat support units in Europe. In order to improve this situation, DOD must take aggressive action to remedy this situation. A thorough review must be made of all the regulations relating to the control and use of Government property. These regulations must be revised and adhere, as a mini- mum, to the following characteristics: Simplicity-they must be written in such a manner that even the lowest graded soldier or civilian employee can under- stand them since it is at this level that these procedures must be implemented. Clarity-the procedures must be stated in such a way that they are clearly understood with little or no confusion as to what items should be reported and what activity should re- ceive the report. Fully Coordinated-these procedures concerning the control and use of Government property must be fully coordinated so one regulation does not contradict or negate instructions stated in a related procedure. Ideally, DOD should issue one instruc- tion which would cover all elements of transportation, inven- tory control, and financial accountability for all DOD property. Command Supported-the old axiom that "people do well those items which the boss checks" certainly applies here. onl y Commanders at every level must show concern for the security and accountability of DOD's property. Incentives must be built into the accountability system so that the supply, transporta- tion, and financial clerks will want to report discrepancies. LACK OF CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT FURNISHED MATERIALS Despite a Congressional instruction, the military services contin- ue to be negligent in their control of Government furnished materi- al (GFM) and are providing equipment worth millions of dollars yearly to contractors whose inventory controls are inadequate to provide the proper records and control of its use. The services have not yet established procedures as mandated by Congress and, as a result, have not gained visibility of the amount of GFM that con- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 tractors possess. This lack of visibility has resulted in widespread over-requisitioning, uneconomical requisitioning, unauthorized use of GFM and lack of proper inventory controls of GFM causing a loss of millions of dollars to DOD. The DAR allows the Government to furnish material to contrac- tors when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Govern- ment by reason of economy, standardization, the increased produc- tion, or other appropriate circumstances. This most commonly occurs in Maintenance and Overhaul (M&O) contracts. Contractors can acquire GFM from the DOD supply system by requisition or transfer. The official accountable records for the property are maintained by the contractor as a part of their prop- erty control systems. A Government property administrator is re- quired to conduct periodic tests of the contractor's property control systems as a technique to assure that adequate inventory- controls are used by the contractor to protect the interests of the Govern- ment. During the past several years numerous audits and studies have. identified a number of deficiencies including: (1) unauthorized requisitioning of supplies by contractors from Government supply sources, (2) over-requisitioning of material, (3) lack of accountability of GFM shipments, (4) excessive number of requisitions, (5) abuse of priority designators, (6) unreasonable issues of Government owned material, (7) GFM being used on commercial, work, (8) inadequacies in material control, (9) no records of issues, (10) lack of cost effectiveness in the use and acquisition of GFM, and (11) excessive spares on hand at contractor plant, when air- craft were not operational because of the unavailability of these spares. A recent GAO report found that while the Navy was providing billions of dollars of GFM to contractors for use in constructing, overhauling, and repairing Navy ships, the Navy did not know the amount of GFM in their contractor's possession because there were no overall financial or other management systems to account for these materials. GFM Dollars Cannot be Easily Identified An Air Force audit identified an overhaul contractor who was not preparing the documents required to account for GFM. Thus, Air Force item managers were neither aware of nor had visibility of those assets. As a result of the. audit, $316,000 of excess GFM was identified and used to fill requirements on other commercial contracts. The audit also identified $950,000 of excess GFM charged to one contractor but in possession of another contractor. GFM was issued as initial spares for a maintenance program which did not materi- alize. Although the item managers were aware of GFM, they did not know it could have been used to satisfy other demands. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Investigative Staff requested from three major Army com- mands the amount of GFM that had been provided to contractors on active M&O contracts. While these commands had contracts worth billions of dollars, only one could provide an exact dollar amount of GFM issued, the other two commands stated that they would have to go to the individual contractors to obtain the figures. DOD and the Services Slow to React With Appropriate Controls The Committee has addressed the problem of the lack of control over GFM which was allowing contractors to utilize and requisition ? GFM in an uneconomical, wasteful, and fraudulent manner in previous reports. The Committee's FY 1979 report requested DOD to resolve the problem by allowing the contractors' use of the DOD supply system with the understanding that they (the contractors) would pay cash on the delivery of GFM when received from the supply system. DOD deferred, citing legal barriers to selling GFM to contractors. These impediments were removed in FY 1980 DOD Appropriations Act (P.L. 96-154, Sec. 767, December 12, 1979). DOD then proceeded to develop a test program to measure the effective- ness of selling GFM to contractors. This pilot program has devel- oped snags since it was difficult to find contractors to participate. Five out of six contractors solicited by a Navy ICP refused to participate in the test program. Additionally, the services stalled in their development of the program. As of June 1981, only one con- tract had been signed by the Navy, with several others in the negotiation stage. The Army has only selected one system for the pilot program and is not yet near signing a contract. The first results of the pilot program will not be available until 1982, with final results available in 1985. DOD has issued new instructions (DODI 4140.48, dated March 3, 1981) to control the access to GFM by maintenance contractors. These instructions require DOD components authorizing the use of GFM by a minimum of two contractors to establish a Management Control Activity (MCA) which is tasked to (1) maintain control over all contractor access to DOD's supply systems, (2) establish guide- lines to validate contractors' requests, (3) maintain a contract, req- uisition, and shipment status file, and (4) provide a status report to DOD on all contractors' GFM requests. This regulation, which took effect 120 days from date of issue, requires semiannual reports for the periods ending June 30 and December 31. However, the Investi- gative Staff has found that the major commands have not yet received the DOD instructions. This, of course, will delay imple- mentation and the subsequent reporting. Moreover, as officials of one Army command stated, the DODI (4140.48) cannot be fully implemented until changes are made to four other regulations. The DOD approach that is being undertaken seems to be similar to previously proposed systems that were rejected by OMB because they greatly increased government paperwork at a time when the Federal Government is attempting to reduce paperwork. The basic idea behind the Committee's approach from the start was to sell the material at a sufficiently high cost to recover the government's investment and thereby reduce `management" systems. While DOD and its components have finally responded to Con- gressional urging to establish controls over contractors' use of Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 GFM, it will still be sometime before. the new regulations are actually implemented and an even longer time before the results of the pilot program of selling GFM to contractors are known. Too many years have passed since the GFM problem was made known to DOD and many items of GFM have been improperly requisi- tioned by contractors during this period. MANAGING GOVERNMENT FURNISHED SPECIAL TOOLING Millions of dollars of special tooling (with no foreseeable use or need) are being stored at contractors' plants. During the productive life of many major acquisitions and even beyond that time, substantive contractor and Government manpow- er is used in the administrative accountability of special tooling, its storage, and disposal, costing the Government many millions of dollars. For example:. One contractor plant visited by the Investigative Staff has over $30 million in special tooling lying idle which could be excessed or otherwise disposed of. Another contractor charges the Navy almost $100,000 a year to store special tooling for which there is no apparent need. A recent study revealed that for five out-of-production air- craft programs, storage and control costs exceeded $750,000 for unneeded special tooling. About 37 percent of the tooling was unneeded. Another major aviation contractor still retains special tool- ing, at Government expense, for a dormant aviation program based on the possibility a foreign military sales program cus- tomer might need a part. One Air Force logistics center wants to keep the. special tooling for the F-4 to build spare parts that have not yet failed. Special tooling is a necessary element of DoD contracting for weapon systems. The contracting official has the responsibility of deciding whether to acquire or not to acquire title. In either case, the Government pays for the tooling either directly or indirectly. However, acquiring title to special tooling results in extra adminis-. trative costs. Since tooling may become obsolete, the contracting official should consider each piece carefully. Stability of design, the proposed manufacturing technique, and anticipated future require- ment should be evaluated to insure that the huge administrative costs justify the storage and accountability of these items during periods of nonuse. Once a program is over, DoD should insure that prompt disposal of the special tooling is made to prevent unneces- sary accumulation of administrative costs for its storage and ac- countability. INDUSTRIAL PLANT EQUIPMENT Industrial plant equipment is that part of DoD-owned plant equipment with an acquisition cost of $1,000 or more; used for the purpose of cutting, abrading, grinding,. shaping, forming, joining, testing, measuring, heating, treating, or otherwise altering the physical, electrical: or chemical properties of materials, compo- nents, or end items entailed in manufacturing, maintenance, Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 supply, processing, assembly, or research and development oper- ations. The House Committee on Armed Services in its report number 29, dated December 31, 1980, noted there has been a serious decline in the Nation's defense industrial capacity that places our national security in jeopardy. In preparing the report, the Committee panel held 13 days of hearings, including 4 days of field hearings, and took testimony from 34 witnesses. These witnesses included repre- sentatives of (1) defense prime contractors and subcontractors, (2) associations, (3) the military, (4) the General Accounting Office (GAO), (5) the Department of Commerce, (6) the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), (7) DOD, and (8) the Congress. Wit- ness after witness testified before the panel that an erosion of U.S. industrial capability is occurring that, coupled with America's mushrooming dependence on foreign sources for minerals, is en- dangering our defense posture at its very foundations. Section 2 of P.L. 93-155, the Defense Industrial Reserve Act, states, "In enacting this Act, it is the intent of Congress (1) to provide a comprehensive and continuous program for the future safety and for the defense of the United States by providing ade- quate measures whereby an essential nucleus of Government- owned plants and Industrial Reserve of machine tools and other industrial manufacturing equipment may be assured for immediate use to supply the needs of the armed forces in time of National Emergency or anticipation thereof." Out of approximately 20,000 items of Industrial Plant Equipment in general reserve, which has an acquisition value of about $362 million, only about 20 percent of the items are in known "operable ready" for "immediate use" condition. Senior officials advised the Investigative Staff the reasons the equipment was not ready for immediate use were because (1) funding has not been available and (2) Defense Logistics Agency maintenance policy limits mainte- nance almost totally to items being shipped to users. Efforts to improve the situation were made by DIPEC in March 1980 with a proposed 5-year program to test, inspect, and repair IPE in the general reserve. According to DIPEC officials, the cost of this pro- gram would be about $16 million, however, the proposal was not approved by DLA. The policy of only providing maintenance to IPE items being shipped to users is inconsistent with the intent of Congress that equipment be ready for immediate use. Failure to have about 16,000 items of industrial plant and equipment items valued at about $290 million ready for immediate use can result in (1) con- tractors obtaining other equipment and passing these costs to the Government, and (2) delaying contract performance on those con- tracts where Government owned equipment can be used. The Com- mittee added $2.0 million to the bill to start reordering this equip- ment for immediate use. PROCUREMENT PRACTICES AT THE DEFENSE PERSONNEL SUPPORT CENTER On April 30, 1980, the Defense Audit Service completed a review of procurement practices related to clothing and textile purchases made by the Defense Personnel Support Center. This review shows H.Rept. 97-33-1--- 6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 that there is room for major improvement in the procurement and ? contract administration procedures at the center. The auditors found that: -The DPSC lack adequate procedures and controls for billing foreign military sales customers. About $9.9 million was identi- fied by the auditors as lost. -The center awarded at least $14.9 million in contract awards which were not needed and was awarded solely for the purpose of "buying a round" 8(a) set-aside awards because the center lacks confidence that the small business receiving the contract could perform. -Internal controls and procedures for small purchases of non- stock clothing items were not adequate. In some cases, require- ments were split to avoid the limitations of the defense acquisi- tion regulation and suppliers were listed as unsuccessful bid- ders even though they had not been solicited. (Previous audits at the DPSC contain similar findings.) The center could save an estimated $7.0 million if it provided as government fur- nished material textiles to clothing manufacturers. -At least $5.5 million could be saved if DLA stopped making purchases as frequently as it does. DLA pays a higher unit price because of small quantity buys. An additional $1.8 mil- lion is wasted because of the unnecessary administrative charges. MISMANAGEMENT OF STOCK FUNDS AT THE DEFENSE PERSONNEL SUPPORT CENTER The Defense Personnel Support Center, a major Defense supply center, lost control of hundreds of millions of dollars in stock funds. The Center could not accurately determine amounts paid and amounts of unliquidated obligations. In an attempt to correct its records, the Center made financial adjustments of about $566 mil- lion during fiscal 1978 and 1979. However, the validity of most of these adjustments could not be determined because they were not supported by adequate documentation. The chaotic condition of the Center's funds control systems and records prevented it from systematically detecting fraudulent con- tract payments of $794,101 which were processed. The fraud was detected only because of a clerical error. The Center's problems were compounded when erroneous ac- count balances were certified as correct. The balances were certi- fied by Center and Defense Logistics Agency officials even though both were aware of the Center's serious funds control problems. In addition, full disclosure was not made in financial statements of either the Center's funds control problems or the large amount of adjustments made without adequate supporting documentation. The certifications were accepted and relied upon by Defense offi- cials in preparing consolidated annual reports to the President and the Congress on the Condition and operations of all Department of Defense working capital funds. According to the GAO the DPSC lost control of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of stock fund money because of the "funds control system had a. complete breakdown." DLA has recognized the seriousness of the problem and has developed a proposed plan Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 to correct the financial system at this inventory control point. The DLA has informed the Committee that it intends to correct the financial records and have in place an effective accounting system by June of 1982. The Committee expects an interim report from the DLA. The Committee expects that the DLA will be able to submit an unqualified certification of its stock fund balances prior to the end of fiscal year 1982. If it appears that such a certification cannot be made, the Committee expects to be notified as soon as this determi- nation is made. PRECIOUS METAL RECOVERY In early 1976, DoD assigned the responsibility to the Defense Supply Agency for developing, in coordination with the military services, a system of standard codes for identifying items that contain precious metals and the quantities of precious metals con- tained therein. The Air Force auditors stated that "In air logistics center maintenance shops, we identified 227 items that contain gold or silver." However, air logistics center personnel had identi- fied the precious metal content of only 41 of these items in techni- cal orders. The auditors went on to state that about 37,000 items in the Air Force are believed to contain precious metals. The Air Force has finally begun the process of coding items that contain precious metals which was required back in 1976. Air Force auditors also found that the Air Force was as a general rule purchasing gold and silver needed for Air Force contracts on the open market rather than using the material available to the government which had been recovered. The auditors estimate that on 6 contracts reviewed the Air Force could have saved over $3.6 million. In responding to a Committee question on this matter the Air Force indicated that the situation was being resolved in so far as gold was concerned but did not address the open market pur- chase of silver. Since 1979, DoD has been contracting for the recovery of precious metals from end items rather than using in-house facilities to recover the metals. This was done because a cost study indicated it would be less expensive to contract for recovery of precious metals. However, as the following examples demonstrate, the recovery rate of precious metals recovered under contracts is substantially lower than the rate of recovery when accomplished in-house. -The last two batches of B2 battery plates processed by Defense were for 24,288 lbs. of plates with 202,951.96 troy ounces of silver recovered (a 57.3 percent recovery rate) and 40,344 lbs. with 361,826.98 troy ounces recovered (a 61.5 percent recovery rate). Under contract recovery, 67,033 lbs. of plates resulted in only 444,808.15 troy ounces (a 46 percent recovery rate) while Defense had expected to receive 557,199.08 troy ounces, a dif- ference of over 112,000 troy ounces. -From 1972-1978, Defense processed film ash for silver recov- ery. From 1972-1976 the yield was 7,474 troy ounces of silver per ton of film ash and from 1976-1978, the yield was 5,737 troy ounces per ton. Two contracts have been used for film ash with yields of 1,865 troy ounces per ton and 1,405 troy ounces per ton. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 DoD is directed to investigate the reasons for the wide variances in recovery rates and report the finding to the Committee. The Army and the Navy have been selling precious metals- bearing items to foreign military sales customers charging them only the stock funded price of the item even though it may have been purchased before and contains previous metals. The Army's DARCOM was selling batteries to foreign customers at 850 a piece when the silver content of that battery was worth at least $10. The Army has already found that batteries containing at least 100,000 troy ounces of silver at the stock fund price instead of a price approaching their real value. The Navy's system for managing the FMS sales was so poor that it is virtually impossible to track. Also a Navy facility (Navy Un- derwater System Center, Newport, R.I.) recently "lost" 100,000 or more ounces of silver in batteries. These 19 batteries contained 4,000 silver zinc cells. Each battery was so large that it could be moved only by forklift truck but all 19 batteries disappeared. No battery has been recovered to date. COMMISSARY STORE OPERATIONS Last October after nearly a decade of debate on commissaries' legitimacy and viability the Office of the Secretary of Defense made a decision to continue operation of separate military service commissary systems. Prior to this decision the DoD had been seri- ously studying the feasibility of consolidating commissary store operations into a single defense activity. In reading this decision the Department of Defense created an executive board to provide broad policy guidance on commissary operations and to set goals and evaluate peformance. It was also indicated that certain man- agement improvements and cost reductions could : be affected through decentralized administration, as well as through the cen- tralization proposals. The decision not to consolidate was made despite the fact that many studies including a detailed GAO report entitled "Military Commissaries: Justification as Fringe Benefit Needed-Consolidation Can Reduce Dependence on Appropri- ations," strongly supported a consolidated management agency for the commissary store system. Operating costs for commissaries as separate line items in the DoD budget were about $510 million in FY 1981. This represents the direct cost of operating commissaries. However, the military services provide extensive uncharged indirect support such as pro- curement support, real property maintenance, security, fire protec- tion, etc. This support adds at least another $50 million to the cost of commissary operations. The commissary operation budgets for fiscal year 1982 as pre- sented to the Committee do not include any apparent reductions or management efficiencies as was expected. The Committee is pro- posing that each of the commissary systems produce savings of $5 million in their operations during fiscal year 1982. A portion, al- though by no means all, of this savings is possible through the testing and implementation of different operating techniques. The Department of the Navy has repeatedly indicated that it desires to convert all of its 3,021 commissary personnel employees from an appropriated fund status to a nonappropriated fund status. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 This would be similar to the conversion which took place for DoD clothing sales stores when they were combined with the clothing sales facilities of the post exchanges. The Committee believes that the Navy should proceed with this proposal as a test case for the other military services. One of the biggest problems facing the Department of Defense is making management improvements in critical supply and mainte- nance activities within the very tight personnel ceilings which the Office of Management and Budget has imposed upon the Depart- ment. The Navy contends that it should be permitted to convert these 3,000 positions to a nonappropriated fund status and allowed to retain the overall ceiling points in order to reduce the Navy's dependence upon contractors for management, engineering, and logistic services. The Committee completely agrees with the need to make additional positions available and it is therefore recommend- ing that the Department of Defense allow the Navy to proceed with the conversion. The Navy estimates that average pay differential for these positions is approximately 21 percent. They also estimate that very few employees, if any, would ever be riffed and that the entire process can be accommodated through attrition and by the reassignment of commissary employees to other base supply activi- ties as positions become available in those functions. Navy testimony indicated that there would be an annual savings of $10 to $12 million when the Navy commissary stores were oper- ated in the military clothing store modus operandi. The Navy should submit implementing plans to the Committee within 125 days of passage of the Appropriations Act and semi-annual prog- ress reports should be provided to the Appropriation and Armed Services Committees, to include the cost of operations and accumu- lated savings data. The Committee also believes that the Army should go forward with its proposal to contract out the entire operation of at least two commissary stores. This contracting out should be done in accord- ance with the provision of A-76. Testing the contracting out con- cept for the operation of an entire commissary will serve as a test case to determine the potential savings, if any, and potential prob- lems that are likely to ensue through contracting out commissary store operations. As a part of this proposal the Committee is also recommending that the Air Force test the back to "basics" approach to marketing and merchandizing of food products. This approach is becoming more popular in civilian supermarket sales and is often referred to as a warehouse supermarket. This concept involves providing the patron with somewhat less in the way of services, fancy displays and non-food product lines. It is hoped that the Department of Defense will test this approach at at least two Air Force commis- saries in a way in which the savings are shared between the government and the commissary patrons. Hopefully this concept will be tested in areas where other services also operate nearby Commissaries to determine if lower prices attract more customers, or if customers are lost to other commissaries. It will be difficult to find an adequate pricing incentive since commissary prices only in- elude a 4-percent surcharge. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES The Department of Defense through its so-called CLASS VI stores sells approximately $400 million worth of alcoholic bever- ages annually. When the sales of clubs (NCO and Officer) and exchange beer sales are included the figures are nearly doubled this amount. Highlights from the worldwide survey of nonmedical drug use and alcohol use among military personnel show that most military personnel (83 percent) drank at least occasionally. As expected, beer was the most commonly consumed beverage; it was drunk by 73 percent of all military personnel at least once within the "past 30 days" of the survey, and hard liquor (including mixed drinks) was consumed by about one-half of the respondents (50 percent) within the "past 30 days". In general, the highest prevalence of drinking any alcohol was recorded by senior officers, followed by junior officers and junior enlisted personnel, senior enlisted person- nel and warrant officers. The survey showed that 28 percent of the El-E5's and about 5 percent of E6-E9's reported heavy drinking of hard liquor. It is estimated that seven percent of military personnel world- wide were alcohol dependent during the past year. One out of four military personnel reported some work impairment because of alco- hol use during the last year. Approximately 13,000 military person- nel received alcohol treatment in residential treatment facilities, while approximately 33,000 personnel received alcohol treatment in nonresidential military facilities. The military services operate 69 residential facilities and 441 nonresidential facilities for treatment of alcoholics. In view of the above statistics and the fact that alcoholic bever- ages as sold through the CLASS VI store system are priced consid- erably below local prevailing market prices the Committee is rec- ommending that the Department of Defense immediately increase the price of these beverages by 10 percent. This will yield an annual increase in revenue of about $40 million which can be made available to support morale, welfare and recreations activities. Since fiscal year 1982 will probably be one quarter completed prior to passage of the Defense Appropriations Bill the Committee has estimated fiscal year 1982 savings at $20.0 million. The additional receipts can be used to offset a portion of the appropriated fund support to non-appropriated fund activities. SOFT DRINK PROCUREMENT - On April 15, 1981, the Defense Audit Service issued an audit report on the procurement of soft drinks by the military exchange system. It is estimated that the Army Air Force exchange system purchases over $20 million worth of soft drinks annually and that inclusion of the Marine Corps and Navy systems plus procurement for vending machines would bring the total in excess of $40 mil- lion. Prices paid for two leading soft drinks producers led ' the auditors to believe that certain soft-drink franchises had questionable pric- ing practices. The audit shows many cases of "follow-the-leader" pricing patterns, identical pricing and unusually high pricing of Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 soft drinks. Also, soft drinks purchased for resale usually were priced higher than soft drinks purchased for vending operations, even though the suppliers furnished and serviced the vending ma- chines. The Department of Defense is in the process of taking steps to monitor its soft-drink purchases and seek the lowest possible prices throughout new competitive procurement practices. The * Committee has reason to believe that this will produce additional "profits" in excess of $3 million in fiscal year 1982 which can be applied as a contribution to the welfare, morale and recreation fund. BASE OPERATIONS The Department of Defense is expected to spend about $9.5 bil- lion, excluding the repair and maintenance of real property, on base operations support in FY 1982. Base operations support funds activities of an installation support nature, such as administrative services, facility engineering services, vehicle operation and main- tenance, security and police activities, laundry and dry cleaning, audio visual, printing and reproduction, safety and legal services and various community support services such as morale and recre- ation activities, housing functions etc. The cost of base operation support increases by $916.9 million in FY 1982 over FY 1981. Price growth accounts for about $470 million leaving real program growth of about $446 million. The following table provides the estimated cost for base oper- ations support. The FY 1982 column does not include the cost of civilian personnel pay raises which will be added in a supplemental request next spring. Also excluded from the cost estimates are the pay and allowances of the 121,700 military personnel who work in base support activities. There are approximately 183,800 civilians so employed in FY 1982.

The bill as reported by the Committee recommends a number of adjustments to various base operation support activities. Some of these adjustments are financial in nature. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Absorption of Fiscal Year 1981 Pay Raise Supplemental Costs The pay raise supplemental for FY 1981 as originally submitted by the Carter Administration forced the military services and other DoD activities to absorb a portion of the pay raise. The Reagan Administration amended this supplemental request to include funds for all pay raises. The Congress fully financed the FY 1981 pay raises and provided an additional $500.0 million to offset the effects of inflation on the operation and maintenance appropri- ations. In preparing the FY 1982 justification material some military services, particularly the Air Force, justified certain add-ons in the base operations program as necessary to offset or serve as a resto- ration to the reductions which they were forced to make in FY 1981 to finance the pay raise. Since in the end it was not necessary to finance the pay raise from within the 1981 funds previously appropriated, in that the Congress eventually appropriated addi- tional funds, there is no need to restore reductions that never took place. Accordingly, the bill as recommended by the Committee reduces the Air Force request by $87.0 million, the Navy Reserve request by $9.1 million and the Air National Guard request by $2.7 million. Overseas Military Banking Program The Department of Defense provides banking services at 181 locations overseas for its military dispersing officers, nonappro- priated fund activities and military and civilian personnel. Prior to FY 1978, the program was managed by the Treasury and funded by Treasury compensating balances. In 1975 the Congress took steps to place management and funding of the program with the Depart- ment benefitting from the program. Since placement of this pro- gram in DoD there has been a tendency to budget more funds than the program requires. For example a total of $22 million in O&M resources was requested in the FY 1981 budget. During execution of that budget, the O&M program was reduced to $17.0 million and subsequently further reduced to $12 million. This was made possi- ble by a drop in estimated net cost due to higher earnings resulting from continued high money-market interest rates and favorable foreign exchange rate fluxuations and advoidance of lease costs by purchasing 30 automated teller machines in Germany. DoD pro- curement funds were used for this purpose. The various service budgets for FY 1982 include a total of $25 million for this purpose. The Defense Department now indicates that $22.0 million will be adequate to finance the program. It is highly likely that additional reductions could be made but the Committee limited the reduction to $3.0 million. Additional adjust- ments can be made in conjunction with the FY 1982 pay raise next spring, if warranted. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Environmen- tal Programs The Department of Defense budget request for fiscal year 1982 contained some major program increases for activities related to health and occupational safety and the environment. Included in the budget was implementation of a hazardous material manage- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ment program. Also included were funds for ecology base-line sur- veys, preparation of new and updating old environmental impact studies. In reporting the bill the Committee deleted all real growth for these efforts, leaving the programs at their FY 1981 level plus inflation. Only the Navy proposed deletion of funds designated to improve compliance with these federal regulations during the Sep- tember amendment. In view of the Administration's announced intention to review these programs and issue new guidelines in the near future it seems prudent to defer their expansion at this time. Accordingly, reductions of $4.0 million to the Army request, $800,000 to the Marine Corps request, $3.5 million to the Air Force request, $1.4 million to the Army Reserve request, $1.6 million to the Army National Guard request and $1.5 million to the Air National Guard request have been made in the bill. Using Productivity Measurement in Managing Base Operations Information provided by the General Accounting Office indicates that there is a significant disparity between what DoD work meas- urement and other management systems designed to measure pro- ductivity of base operating employees are suppose to do what is actually being accomplished. The Committee regularly receives re- ports which indicate that integrated facility management systems and automated work managment systems are not working as they are supposed to because management does not pay enough atten- tion to them. For example, the Army implemented a work manage- ment system which is described in DA pamphlet 420-6. It is doubt- ful if a single Army installation is using the prescribed system as intended. The military services have made only marginal progress in using engineered performance standards or work measurement standards for real property maintenance even though the Committee has been urging adoption of such system for years. The Navy attempts to apply engineered performance standards to about 75 percent of its real property maintenance work. The Army attempts to apply such standards to about 86 percent of its work and the Air Force doesn't even use engineered work standards. Unbalanced Bidding On Multiple Line Type Requirements Con- tracts Multiple line type requirement contracts for real property main- A& tenance are those in which the contracts list kinds of work to be performed and then request a price based on an undefinite quanti- ty of the work to be performed. For example, a roofing contract is offered with an estimate number of square foot but the bid is ? submitted on a cost per square foot. The actual amount of roofing to be done remains open and can vary greatly. Thus if a contractor has just a little "inside" information he is able to bid those projects he actually expects to be done very high and those which will not be done, even though they are part of the contract, very low. He thus establishes himself as the low bidder, even though the charges for work actually performed are excessively high. Also, various DoD auditors constantly find contracts where the amount of lawn to be watered, cut or fertilized is considerably less than the amount listed in the contract. The same situation appears Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 with respect to obtaining contracts on the installations of carpet- ing, painting etc. Better management of such contracts would save millions of dollars. Consolidation of Military Base Support Activities For years the General Accounting Office has been issuing reports recommending consolidation of various inter and intra military service base support activities. The most recent report was issued in September 1980 and is entitled "Consolidating Military Base Support Services Could Save Billions". While the Department of Defense continues to give lip service to this program very little, if any, progress has been made. The bill as reported by the Commit- tee sets an objective of saving $8.0 million in the Army, $2.0 million in the Navy through such consolidations. A similar type reduction is made to the Air Force estimates since the Air Force failed to reflect a savings of $4.4 million for support of the U.S. Air Force Base at Kadena on Okinawa. The Navy is providing the Air Force with an additional $4.4 million in FY 1982 because under the previous arrangement the Air Force provided base operations sup- port to the Navy on a nonreimbursable basis. Base operation sup- port will be continued to be provided by the Air Force but Navy will pay for the support in FY 1982 thus in effect saving the Air Force $4.4 million. The FY 1982 budget does nothing to push aside long standing military department parochial interest and move in the direction of consolidating military base suppport activities. Despite the fact that the Comptroller General sent the Secretary of Defense a memorandum on January 21, 1981, which urges "the establishment by directive of the Secretary of Defense, of an authoritative single manager, or project director, to effect optimum base support econo- mies can, we believe, produce several hundred million dollars in savings annually. It is one of the most obvious ... and one of the easiest ... sources of true economy which the new Secretary of Defense can achieve". In responding to a question on this matter the Defense Department stated that regional consolidations such as Regional Medical Centers and Real Property Maintenance Activi- ties are being considered, nothing of a definite nature has been submitted to the Congress. An example of the lack of cooperation between the military services is the family housing situation in Hawaii and at Wheeler Air Force Base in particular. Family housing units at Wheeler exceed Air Force requirements and more then 220 members living at Wheeler make an approximate 30 mile daily round trip to their jobs at Hickham Air Force base and Camp Smith. Concurrently more than 700 Army members travel in the opposite direction. This is due to the fact that the Army is by far the principal user of Wheeler Air Force Base. The Air Force base is adjacent to Scofield Barracks home of the Army's 25th Infantry Division and the Army uses the Air Base to house over 200 aircraft. While the Air Force has only 10 small observation aircraft bedded down there. In addi- tion about 115 Army service members could be assigned to Wheeler housing occupied by ineligible Air Force personnel. This situation has existed for years. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Passing ownership of Wheeler from the Air Force to the Army would enhance response time, contribute to energy conservation program goals and reduce housing costs to say nothing of improv- ing the readiness of the 25th division. Instead of making some decisions on this matter, the Department of Defense hired a con- tractor to further study this situation. The Committee has received no further information from the Department of Defense on the matter although the final report from the contractor was to be delivered to the Defense Service Support Program Office on April 23, 1981. STANDARD LEVEL USER CHARGES (SLUG) The Department of Defense reimburses the General Services Ad- ministration for space and services by payment of a standard level user charge (SLUC). The General Services Administration then uses this income to finance activities of the Public Buildings Serv- ice which provides space and services for federal agencies in a landlord-tenant relationship. The space provided by the General Services Administration may be in federally constructed buildings or through leases with commercial firms. In fiscal year 1982, the Department of Defense is requesting $173.6 million for the SLUC reimbursements to GSA. The Commit- tee believes that the Department of Defense pays what appears to be excessive amounts of SLUC rents for space in GSA control buildings. For example, the GSA charges rent for buildings that DoD built with monies appropriated to DoD for military construc- tion, not by the Public Buildings Service. In essence the military budget has reflected payment for the same building twice. The General Services Administration is also generally delinquent in notifying the services of increases of rental rates so that the budget submitted to the Congress for any fiscal year would be substantially understated from what would actually be required by the Department of Defense for reimbursements to GSA. For exam- ple, GSA raised the rental rates by 65 percent in fiscal year 1981 alone after the budget was submitted to the Congress. It appears that GSA uses the inflated reimbursements from the Department of Defense to construct new space for civilian agencies while DoD generally must ask the Congress directly for its own appropriation for construction. In other words, it appears that the Department of Defense is subsidizing the construction and space requirements of civilian agencies of the government since the De- partment of Defense rarely has facilities constructed for it by GSA. Finally, the Committee has reviewed the annual position of the reimbursements of the General Services Administration and found that the receipts from SLUC rental from Federal Agencies exceeds the cost to GSA by some $400 million. As a result, the Committee is including a general provision in the Defense Bill limiting the reimbursements to GSA for space provided to only 50 percent of the budgeted levels. The Committee estimates that this would save $86.7 million in fiscal year 1982 and still leave GSA with a surplus in excess of $300 million. It is the Committee's intent that the same level of space be provided by GSA as requested in the fiscal year 1982 budget, but that the General Services Administration be reim- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 bursed at a rate no more than 50 percent of the rates that were in effect on October 1, 1982. NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION. TRANSPORTATION CONSOLIDATION Last year the Committee reviewed the Navy's National Capital Region Transportation Consolidation. Program and concluded that the effort was producing better transportation service at a substan- tially reduced cost. Language was included in the report on the fiscal year 1981 Defense Appropriations Bill encouraging continued initiatives along these lines including cross service consolidation. After additional review, the Committee believes that further con- solidations in this area are not only feasible but desirable and is therefore directing that a centralized national capital region motor pool be established patterned after that created by the Department of the Navy. No dollar reduction is made this year because the Committee believes that the savings the first year of consolidation will be required for procurement of communication equipment for the vehicles. The Committee specifically is directing consolidation into one central pool in order to prevent each service from dupli- cating the computer and management overhead that currently exists within the Department of the Navy. The Committee also requests that the Department review the feasibility of centralizing the transportation efforts in other geographic areas of substantial defense presence in future years using the national capital region consolidation as a model. The Navy Audit Service has recently recommended that the national capital region facilities. and services staff consider consoli- dating the maintenance and operation of general purpose transpor- tation equipment in the national capital region. The audit indicates that although the Navy agreed with the concept, no action had been taken to implement the findings. The Committee directs that the Navy immediately begin consolidation of general purpose transportation equipment in the National capital region. Army Other base operations adjustments to the Army, Operation and Maintenance request include a reduction of $10 million to a pro- gram which the Army lables "quality of life." One particular por- tion of this program referred to as community support has in- creased from $105 million in FY 1980 to $175 million in the amend- ed budget despite the fact that the Army's end strength has re- mained essentially unchanged during this time period. The base operations budget of the Army, Pacific forces, includes an increase of $8.2 million for what is referred to as "pay back" to Korea for resources previously withdrawn as a result of the Presi- dent's intent to reduce U.S. forces stationed on the Asian main- land." The Congress did not accept the proposed phase down of U.S. troops in Korea and added money above the budget request each year in order to support continuence of U.S. forces in Korea. Basically the Army argues that it needs funds greater than those originally withdrawn as a result of a "bare bones" funding policies during the early planning stages of the Korean redeployment and Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 because of higher inflation. The Committee did not provide the additional $8.2 million requested since the FY 1981 Supplemental included a significant amount to improve living conditions of U.S. Army forces in Korea and it is not evident that the Army sus- tained a real decrease in "living standards" in Korea as a result of the attempt to withdraw U.S. forces. Finally the Committee made an adjustment of $1.6 million to the base operating request for Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Colorado. The Committee has been urging the Army to close this facility once the 888 chemical Weteye Bombs were removed from the facility. This represents a minor adjustment to the $16.9 million in FY 1981 budget and the $15.8 FY 1982 request. This reduction will help to bring this facility on a glide slope towards closure in FY 1984 or 1985. Air Force The original Carter Administration budget proposed the phase out of 18 Dew line radars in FY 1982. This reduction in Dew line radars was estimated to save $19.4 million. The Air Force did not like the decision as made by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and found offsetting funds and restored the reduction prior to submitting the original Carter Administration budget. The Reagan Administration March supplemental provided an addition of $19.4 million to continue operation of these radars. Since the Air Force never reduced its planned funding of the Dew line system in the first place there is not need to provide an additional $19.4 for base operating support for these systems. In recent fiscal years 1978, 1979 and 1980 costs of operating the Cadin/Pine Tree Radar line have increased significally for the United States as a result of changing policies with respect to their operation. The agreement with the Canadian Department of Na- tional Defence and the Department of Defense basically requires that the Canadian government provide for the personnel to operate and maintain these radars while the United States would pick up the contractual and related support cost. Over the years the amount of direct military support has declined while contractual support has increased significantly. The budget for FY 1982 request an increase from $44.8 million to $52.1 million. The Committee considers this excessive and has reduced the request by $3.8 mil- lion. The Department of Defense should consider renegotiation of this working agreement with the Canadian Department of Defence. The Air Force budget for FY 1982 proposes the phase-out of two F-106 squadrons and the phase-in of one F-15 squadron. The Air Force budget made the appropriate flying hour adjustment but failed to make a reduced base operating cost adjustment. A reduc- tion of $2.1 million is recommended. The General Accounting Office issued a report on July 8, 1981 (MASAD-81-27) on the Air Force's use of contractor operated supply stores. The General Accounting Office basically concludes that these contractor operated stores are unmanagable and ;vulner- able to abuse. These stores were once envisoned as a practicable and cost effective means for buying vehicle repair parts and civil engineering supplies, but are now plagued by pricing irregularities, contract abuses and repeated allegations of fraud. The GAO be- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 lieves that the Secretary of Defense should discontinue the use of contractor-operated base supply stores. Workable, cost-effective al- ternatives such as the government-operated store should be used to reestablish purchasing control.. The Committee agrees with the GAO position and has included the addition of $3.0 million in the bill to support the phase-out and conversion to in-house operation contractor-operated civil engineer supply stores (COCESS) and con- tractor-operated parts stores (COPARS) as soon as possible. Exist- ing contracts are not to be renewed. Study after study during the past ten years has addressed the need for the Department of Defense to unify and realign its traffic management functions. The Conferees on the FY 1981 Defense Appropriations Act recommended that the DoD move expeditiously in the direction of establishing a unified Military Traffic Manage- ment Agency or Command. The creation of such a command has been recommended by the GAO, two studies by the Committee's Surveys and Investigations Staff and by a recent contractor study. While the Committee did not have an opportunity to conduct a detailed hearing on the plan to improve deployment planning and traffic management, there is every indication that the Department of Defense is moving in the right direction. On June 29, the Deputy 'Secretary of Defense notified the Committee of his intentions to reorganize management of the Defense Transportation System to make it more compatible with the commercial transportation re- sources on which the Department must rely in peace and war. This involves the transfer of the Sealift Cargo/Passenger Booking and Contract Administration functions from the Military Sealift Com- mand (MSC) to the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC). This action, when completed, will establish MTMC as the single manager for all surface cargo movements from origin in the U.S. to overseas destination in peace and war. There is also under development a plan to clearly delineate passenger movement responsibilities of the Military Airlift Com- mand and the MTMC and the various installation transportation officers. On September 16, 1981, the Deputy Secretary of Defense further informed the Committee of a decision to consolidate the Military Sealift Command and the Military Traffic Management Command into a single agency. This is to be done in conjunction with a plan to strengthen the Joint Deployment Agency giving it responsibil- ities for contingency and time-phased deployment planning. The Committee heartily supports all of the above efforts- and looks forward to receiving additional information on the proposal as various aspects are finalized. The proposals presented in sum- mary fashion by the Department of Defense appear to offer the potential for reducing logistic support costs while improving the ability of our deployment and transportation management systems to react to emergency situations. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 TRANSPORTATION ADJUSTMENTS The budget request for the Department of Defense includes about $3.2 billion in the operation and maintenance appropriation for transportation expenses. Included is all second destination trans- portation, most first destination transportation funds and funds to r. operate the LOGAIR/QUICKTRANS commercial contract airlift systems. This represents an increase of about $1.4 billion from the fiscal year 1980 level. The bill as reported by the Committee contains some minor 4 adjustments for transportation activities. The Committee found that the Air Force request contained about $14.6 million for what was referred to as "readiness shipments". These shipments of mu- nitions and lumber are scheduled for the near term pre-positioned ships. The ships will not be ready to receive the equipment in fiscal year 1982. The bill also includes a reduction of $14.7 million to the Army second destination transportation request. The Army did not justify this portion of the program growth. This reduction is offset by the transfer of $25 million for first destination transportation of ammunition from the ammunition procurement account, Army. PERSONAL SERVICES/CONSULTING TYPE CONTRACTS On March 31, 1981, the General Accounting Office issued an- other in a series of reports showing serious and pervasive problems in DoD's use of consulting services and other management support service contracts. This report was based on a review of 256 random- ly selected contract awards valued at about $175.4 million. The sample was drawn from contracts for (1) consulting services; (2) management and professional services and special studies and analysis; and (3) management support services for RDT&E. In fiscal year 1979, DoD spent about $2.6 billion for these types of contracts according to the GAO. The contracts range from rela- tively simple studies to aid in management decisions to contracts involving complex engineering support for major weapons systems. No one really knows how much is spent for this type of contract. A special analysis on Consultants, Studies and Analysis and Man- agement Support Contracts submitted in conjunction with the budget shows a total of about $1.6 billion for such contractual efforts. However, the amount of funds shown on this special analy- sis have varied greatly in each of the past three years. The $1.6 billion reported by DoD differs from the $2.6 billion estimate of the GAO or from a $3.2 billion estimate which was reached by analyz- ing the Commerce Business Daily for a category contract award called Expert and Consultant Contracts. On the other hand a review by DoD using the contracting reporting system (DD-350 form) showed that there was only $156 million of such contracts. The latest GAO reports disclosed many of the same problems that have been repeated in these annual reports dealing with de- fense appropriations for the past three years. Much additional information on this subject is provided in Part 5 of the Committee's hearings for FY 1982 (pages 575 to 1042). Despite considerable attention having been focused on this matter in recent years, misuse of consulting service contracts remains a serious, pervasive problem which has been documented in these hearings. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 There remains almost a complete absence of competition and awarding consulting type contracts initially and even when the initial contract award is made on a competitive basis there is a tendency to lump task order on top of task order never completing the contract. It is not at all unusual to find contracts where the amounts paid under the contract exceed the face value by ten times or more. The use of unsolicited proposals remains high. Over 40 percent of the contracts randomly selected and reviewed by GAO resulted from unsolicited proposals. Many of the contracts turn out to be a complete waste because the organizations awarding them never use the resulting studies. Last June the GAO issued an overview report on the use of consulting service contracts to perform work that rightfully should be done by federal employees. ("Civil Servants and Contract Em- ployees: Who Should Do What For the Federal Government" FPCD-81-43). This report discussed several previous GAO audits that found many agencies using contractors on work which in- volved basic management decisions. Generally, the agencies, includ- ing DoD, claim that the contractors are not making final decisions. However, there remains much concern that contract personnel are influencing the Department's control of federal programs and poli- cies. GAO found that DoD contractors were playing a significant role in identifying defense needs and, in effect, articulating and per- forming DoD management functions. The result is that DoD is weakening its ability to perform in-house work essential to its mission. Several contracts reviewed by DoD appeared to be pre- empting DoD's perogatives and directing national defense and in managing and directing the Armed Services. The Department uses contractors to: -Develop plans and organizational responsibilities in the event of mobilization; -Review the performance of other contractors; -Prepare basic contracting documents, evaluate other contrac- tor's proposals and help negotiate the final contract. These functions are the responsibility of the Secretary of Defense and should be delegated only to other federal officials. Many wit- nesses appearing before the Committee in recent years have re- peatedly stated that the expertise to perform these government functions was not available. Personnel ceilings and to a lessor extent pay ceilings were cited as reasons why the government must rely so heavily on personal service type contracts. This same GAO report contains an interesting dichotomy. At the same time that federal agencies, including the DoD, are using contractor personnel for work that should be done in-house they are using government employees to provide commercial services that contractors could provide in many cases at a lower cost. The Committee continues to believe that appropriate and proper appli- cation of the policies contained in OMB circular A-76 would be effective in freeing positions and thereby having room under cur- rently existing ceilings to perform government management func- tions by government employees. Another alternative long support- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ed by this Committee is to eliminate the civilian personnel ceilings in their entirety. The bill as presented by the Committee contains adjustments in personel service type contracts. In many cases, these adjustments have been allocated to individual line items within the various i appropriations contained in the bill. Included are reductions to programs of the Naval Air, Sea and Supply systems commands, the Joint Cruise Missile project office, engineering service support at overseas bases, and various research and development programs. EFFICIENCY REVIEW PROGRAM The Committee is continually interested in promoting efforts to improve efficiency in the operations of the Department. One par- ticularly promising initiative toward this goal is the efficiency review process required under Circular A-76 for activities being considered for contracting out. Circular A-76 requires that an ac- tivity being studied for conversion to contract must use the most efficient possible organization in comparing the cost of each oper- ation. The General Accounting Office, in a report issued September 30, 1981, documents that for those activities where efficiency reviews are conducted, an average 5 percent savings results. However, about 80 percent of DoD's 15,000 commercial activities are exempt from the program for various reasons. The Committee believes the Department should substantially expand the scope of these efficien- cy reviews to include activities not under consideration for con- tracting. A conservative estimate of the savings that would result from these reviews is $50 million. Thus, the Committee recom- mends a reduction of this level to be allocated among the services based on their proportion of the Department's commercial activi- ties. The Committee has tentatively allocated this reduction as follows: Million Army ................................................................................................................................... $12 Navy ................................................................................................................................... 17 Marine Corps .................................................................................................................... 1 Air Force ............................................................................................................................ 14 Defense Agencies .............................................................................................................. 6 FOREIGN MILITARY SALES On May 21, 1981, the Subcommittee on Defense conducted a hearing on the Defense Department's continued failure to establish an adequate accounting and financial management system to elimi- nate U.S. subsidies to the foreign military sales program. Testimo- ny was presented by the U.S. General Accounting Office, and the Defense Security Assistance Agency. Background Foreign military sales are authorized by the International Secu- rity Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976 which amend- ed and revised the Foreign Military Sales Act of 1968. During the past decade, a decade in which foreign military sales have grown from an annual rate of $1 billion to $12 billion, this committee has Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 been critical of the Department of Defense's unwillingness and/or inability to comply with the Arms Export Control Act and related laws to ensure that the cost of this program is, in fact, borne by foreign governments and not by the United States Department of Defense and ultimately by the U.S. taxpayer. The FMS sales program continues to grow. Even though the previous Administraton adopted a policy to restrain arms sales, annual sales and active cases continued to increase in value. As of June 30, 1979, the Defense Security Assistance Agency was manag- ing about 15,500 cases valued at $72.5 billion. B the end of April 1981, this had grown to 16,891 cases valued at 96.3 billion. Annual sales are currently running at a $15.0 billion level. When dealing with management effort of this size "minor" mistakes and shortcomings can translate into tens of mil- lions of lost dollars to the U.S. Treasury. Foreign military sales accounting and financial management in- volves more than 40 Defense organizations. The Security Assist- ance Accounting Center in Denver, Colorado, was established in November 1976 and is Defense's central foreign military sales bill- ing and collection organization. The Center is responsible for pro- viding foreign customers an accounting of what has been done with their deposits into the foreign military sales trust fund. The trust fund contains advance payments from foreign govern- ments as required by the Arms Export Control Act. Each year between $8 billion and $9 billion is deposited into and disbursed from the trust fund. The average trust fund balance is about $6 billion. The Center was created to (1) provide a single point in the Defense Department for foreign countries' inquiries concerning fi- nancial aspects of sales agreements and (2) assure uniformity in billing and collecting. The military departments previously were responsible for these functions, but they have done a poor job, and their efforts to standardize billing and collecting have failed. The military departments are responsible for detailed obligation, expenditure, and cost accounting; for paying contractors; and for reporting these disbursements as well as other financial informa- tion to the Center. Each department developed its own system to account for and report sales transactions. The Center is dependent upon their input, which is nonstandard, to prepare foreign custom- er's bills, reimburse the departments' appropriations, and account for trust fund expenditures. OVERVIEW OF PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED IN ACCOUNTING FOR FMS For years, Defense has experienced serious accounting and finan- cial management problems with regard to the foreign military sales program. Over the past decade, GAO and Defense internal audit staffs have issued numerous reports on the Department of Defense's continued failure to recove hundreds of millions of dol- lars in costs incurred for foreign military sales and Defense's in- ability to give foreign governments a proper accounting of how their money was spent. The military departments and Defense agencies have not adequately implemented Defense pricing policies and Defense policymakers have not performed sufficient followup or monitoring of actual cost. recovery. Further, Defense has not Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 developed an adequate centralized accounting and financial man- agement system for foreign military sales. Testimony during the hearings showed that corrective action has been taken by Defense on some of the problems noted in the GAO and Defense internal audit reports. This action, however, has usally been slow in coming, narrowly confined, and implemented in an inconsistent manner. Moreover, Defense's attention to the over- all problem of inadequate foreign military sales cost recoupment has been largely limited to policy. formulation with considerable less impact on program execution. In April 1981, the Deputy Secretary of Defense alerted the mili- tary departments and Defense agencies to the need for particular emphasis on certain financial management areas. A memorandum by the Deputy Secretary of Defense pointed out that less than full recovery of costs when billing foreign customers must be borne by Defense appropriations. In addition, the memorandum recognized that Congress has reduced Defense appropriations because of past failures to recover full costs and stressed the need to avoid such cuts in the future. Although testimony indicated that some improvements have been made and management awareness has increased, it also was apparaent that more must be done. The Department of Defense still has serious financial manage- ment problems in accounting for Foreign Miltary Sales. Many mil- lions of dollars are not being recovered from foreign customers as required by law. Further, a centralized accounting system has not been developed, although a study/test program has finally got un- derway. Many of the more important recommendations made by GAO and endorsed by this committee to improve accounting sys- tems for foreign military sales have not been implemented. Major unresolved problems that continue to plague accounting and financial management of the foreign military sales program include the following: -Defense's foreign military sales policies have not been uniform- ly implemented because each of the military departments has a different accounting system. There has been little progress by Defense in moving toward the development of a centralized accounting system. -Personnel ceilings have affected the ability of the military services to improve their accounting and financial manage- ment systems for the foreign military sales program. -Defense needs to estabish and implement pricing policies that result in full cost recovery. -Congress is not provided with adequate information to exercise oversight and control over the waiving of nonrecurring re- search, development, and production charges on sales to for- eign customers. -A huge backlog of unclosed cases because billing data cannot be matched with delivery data. CENTRALIZED ACCOUNTING SYSTEM FOR FOREIGN MILITARY SALES Defense has continued to experience accounting and financial management problems during the past decade because it lacks an adequate centralized accounting system. The exising accounting Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 systems were not designed to accommodate the phenomenal growth of the foreign military sales program, and a standard Defense-wide system was not developed. The inability to properly manage the finances of the foreign sales program will, in all probability, contin- ue until a comprehensive centaralized accounting and financial managment system is developed solely for foreign military sales. Even then problems will remain, and it will probably be years before centralization is completed. Foreign military sales are unique in that funds of another coun- try are involved. The United States has a fiduciary responsbility that goes beyond normal Government appropriation and expendi- ture accounting. By the terms of the Arms Export Control Act, the cost of the program must be assessed foreign governments, and, therefore, good accounting, costing, and financial management sytems are required. In the past decade, Defense has been criticized by the Congess for its inability to properly manage the finances of the foreign sales program. Defense has acted to improve accounting, costing, billing, and collecting. Several systems, have been developed and are under development. Nevertheless, serious problems still exist. The- advantages of developing a comprehensive centralized ac- counting and financial management system include: -Uniform accounting and financial reporting, thus eliminating the reporting of nonstandard accounting data and providing greater accounting control. Each of the military departments has a different accounting system for foreign military sales. -Timely and complete adoption of Defense Department account- ing policies such as direct cite accounting. -Improved control over foreign military sales disbursements to preclude such problems as the Navy's inability to reconcile $554 million in differences between foreign government cash balances shown on its records and the balances shown in the foreign military sales trust fund. Further, as of September 1979, detailed accounting records for foreign military sales cus- tomers differed by $1.5 billion from trust fund records showing cash on hand. After considering manual processing delays, system deficiencies, and identifiable accounting errors, unex- plained differences were still about $390 million. -Improved accounting for the program, thus better enabling the Department to meet its fiduciary responsibility to its foreign customers. Because. the correct balance of Defense's foreign military sales trust fund was unknown, Defense did not have adequate control over foreign military sales accounting. As a result, it could not provide foreign customers with an accurate accounting for funds deposited in trust accounts. Also, Defense could not determine the amount of money available to foreign customers for purchasing military goods and services. Better programwide planning because accounting and financial management will not be fragmented. Under the central accounting proposal, military departments will still be responsible for implementing foreign sales agreements. The centralized accounting system would provide for supporting systems to be used by the military departments to report certain needed financial data. The military departments, however, would Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 no longer be responsible for accounting and case management of the program. In 1979, GAO identified the advantages of developing a compre- hensive centralized accounting and financial management system. However, since that time, Defense has allowed each military de- partment and the Security Assistance Accounting Center to contin- ue to operate their own financial management and accounting systems. Because of this need for a centralized accounting system, Defense has continued to experience problems in identifying costs incurred to operate the foreign military sales program and has not been able to provide foreign countries with an accurate accounting for funds deposited in their trust fund accounts. Because Defense has not developed an adequate accounting system, its problems in identifying costs incurred to operate the foreign military sales program and in providing foreign countries with an accurate accounting for their funds have continued. To remedy this serious problem, in May 1979, GAO recommended that the Congress require Defense to produce a plan for centralizing accounting and financial management of its foreign military sales program. This plan was to include obligation and expenditure ac- counting and disbursing of funds, and was to ensure that all costs properly chargeable to the program were fully recovered. This committee, in its fiscal 1980 report, recommended that De- fense produce a plan for centralizing accounting and financial man- agement. The plan was to be developed by March 1980. However, Defense did not develop a plan addressing the commit- tee's recommendation. Instead, in March 1980, the Department provided a detailed schedule for completing a centralized disburse- ment test and providing the findings, conclusions, and recommen- dations by January 31, 1980. Defense stated that it recognized the need to improve the financial management of the program, but had reservations about centralizing the accounting and disbursing. By June 1980, it became evident that the centralized disburse- ment test would not result in valid conclusions, primarily because the number of contracts and cases were considered by Defense to be inadequate to constitute a valid test. Also, because significant delays were encountered, the remaining time available for the test was insufficient. The Defense Audit Service, in September 1980 recommended, and Defense agreed, to expand the test and change the established milestone dates given to the Committee. A revised test plan was developed in October 1980. The revised plan increased the test size and called for completion by September 30, 1981, with a final report to the Congress by December 31, 1981. However, significant interim milestone dates have been missed. For example, the transfer of the additional contracts for the test was not accomplished by the date planned. The test addresses centralizing disbursement of funds for selected contracts, and expenditure accounting for contracts. However, the test does not address problems in obligation accounting, expendi- ture authority, or case level accounting, and does not ensure that all costs properly chargeable to the foreign customers are fully recovered. Although Defense has taken other actions to address its problems, it has not developed a comprehensive plan for an inte- grated foreign military sales accounting system. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 DoD efforts to centralize financial management have, in the past, been primarily limited to billing and collecting. In establishing the Security Assistance Accounting Center in November 1976, Defense sought to centralize billing and collecting. Although the Center has provided standardized billing, collecting, and other financial man- agement controls, it still depends on the military departments' accounting systems for its financial information. For the most part, the Center acts as a clearinghouse operation that reports to foreign customers only what it is told. Although one of the Center's primary fiduciary responsibilities is to advise foreign customers how their money was spent, the Center has had little, if any, input into the design of the military depart- ment systems for reporting financial information. As a result, these systems, which were developed independent of each other, have not provided accurate or timely financial data. For example: In June 1977, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) directed that a new foreign military sales financial reporting system be adopted. The system, when fully implemented, was intended to give the Department a better view of and control over the use of foreign military sales budget authority and to improve management of the trust fund. Nearly four years after its implementation was mandated by the Assistant Secretary, the system has not been fully implemented and actions by the military services to implement it have varied. Currently, each service is developing a separate customer order control system and data base that will not be integrated or standardized. The Navy is designing * its system, while the Army and the Air Force have partially implemented their systems. These systems, if completely implemented, would give each military department a system to control obligations and expenditures. However, these developments are a step toward three separate accounting systems-not one integrated Defense system at the Security Assistance Accounting Center. The hearings demonstrated that, as a result of the need for a centralized accounting case level system accompanied by central- ized standardized case management, past problems are continuing. Although there was general agreement on this point, there was disagreement on the extent of the problems. However, the hearings made it apparent that, until a centralized accounting system is developed, problems such as inadequate accounting for trust funds can be expected to continue. The proposed DoD approaches are likely to prove unsuccessful and only waste additional time and money. The Committee once again reiterates the need for Defense to move expeditiously in the establishment of a centralized accounting system for FMS sales. This system need not include centralized disbursing initially, since there is some information that disbursing against the FMS trust fund, if limited to a reasonable number of disbursing activities and reported promptly and accurately to the Security Assistance Ac- counting Center (SAAC) can be done more economically using ex- isting disbursing offices. The Committee does not wish to preclude centralization of FMS disbursing, if it proves necessary in order to gain effective management control. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 STAFFING LIMITATIONS IMPAIR EFFORTS To IMPROVE ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT One of the most serious constraints on the development of an adequate accounting system for the foreign military sales program, has been limitations on staffing. Security Assistance Accounting Center personnel, although agreeing with the principle of central- ization, indicated that the Center does not have adequate personnel or computer capabilities to deisgn and operate the required system. Additional personnel and resources would probably be needed to develop and carry out a detailed implementation plan for central- ization and to assure that any new system provided accurate and timely data before its adoption. The Arms Export Control Act requires foreign countries to reimburse Defense for the cost of administering the foreign sales program. The cost of any additional personnel or computer equipment needed to administer the pro- gram will be covered by reimbursements. However, military and civilian personnel ceilings imposed by the Congress and OMB re- strict the hiring of additional personnel to administer the foreign sales program. Defense officials said that personnel ceiling and restraints on the purchase of computer equipment have affected their ability to impove their accounting and financial management systems for the program. Once a centralized system has been developed and thoroughly tested, existing personnel positions in the military departments could be transferred to the central accounting organization, and duplicate accounting operations could be stopped. The new system should conform to the accounting principles and standards pre- scribed by the Comptroller General and should be submitted to him for approval as required by the Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of 1950. Because the additional personnel needed to improve accounting and financial management of the FMS program would not cost the U.S. taxpayer any money, personnel ceilings should not be im- posed. The Committee believes the personnel ceiling should exclude personnel who spend fifty percent or more of their time on FMS functions. If there is trouble in gaining OMB approval in removing FMS management personnel from Deparment of Defense ceiling limitations, the Committee recommends that the positions be con- verted to non-appropriated fund status. These positions are in fact non-appropriated fund because Foreign Governments pay the bill even though they are not counted as non-appropriated fund em- ployees. PRICING PROCEDURES Do NOT RESULT IN FULL COST RECOVERY During the past decade, DOD has repeatedly failed to recover all costs of foreign military sales. This failure has resulted in large subsidies to the sales program-a practice which this committee has previously gone on record as wanting Defense to avoid. Con- tinuing weaknesses in pricing procedures and practices have, ac- cording to over thirty GAO audits, resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars not being recouped from foreign governments. Failure to charge the right amount for equipment and spare parts is the most significant overall problem Defense has experi- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ence in pricing foreign sales. However, GAO and Defense auditors have also identified a wide range of other problems regarding the failure to recover full costs such as those for -administrative support of the program, -use of U.S. Government-owned plant and equipment, and -normal inventory losses. Some of the more serious deficiencies discussed during the hear- ings require prompt corrective action by Defense. Pricing of Secondary Equipment Items and Spare Parts In 1978, Defense was not charging foreign governments the re- placement cost of items sold from its inventories as required by law. Defense's failure to charge the replacement cost resulted from -pricing policies that were ambiguous, conflcting, and difficult to apply; and -an unworkable system of identifying item replacement cost. A more current review of pricing for stock fund and secondary items, performed by GAO at the request of Senators Percy and Hollings, showed that Defense is still not recovering replacement costs because item prices are established without -considering the most recent purchase price, -accumulating inflation factors, and -consistently and accurately apply Defense policies and proce- dures. As a result, Defense is still losing millions of dollars each year because of underpricing of stock fund and secondary items sold to foreign customers. Accordingly, the Committee is recommending a reduction of $16.0 million to the procurement accounts, and $120 million to the stock fund requests. It should be relatively easy for DOD to recover these funds from the customers since final billing or case close-out has not been completed. Procedures for repricing these items can be updated rather quickly. Recovery of Administrative Support Costs GAO reports issued in 1977 and 1978 showed that inadequate methods of accounting for and recovering personnel costs incurred in administering the foreign military sales program resulted in millions of dollars of costs not being properly billed to foreign governments. A followup review by GAO indicates that millions of dollars are still not being recovered for administrative costs associ- ated with the foreign purchases of military equipment and services. In addition, both GAO and the Defense Audit Service have found that the Defense Security Assistance Agency has adopted the posi- tion that only those costs that can be proven to vary with fluctu- ations in the military sales program will be recovered. In the Committee's opinion, this is a restriction upon the military services that will not allow them to budget for identifiable expenses. Exam- ples of identifiable expenses that will not be allowed are: -Salaries and related expenses for personnel working less than 10 percent of their time on supporting the foreign military sales program. _ -Pro rata rent or utilities at locations that are not considered to be 100 percent dedicated to supporting foreign military sales.. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 -Other miscellaneous expenses, such as base support personnel, that could be prorated based on applicable direct man-years of effort. An idea of the effect of this restriction can best be conveyed by quoting a high level Air Force official regarding the Air Force's fiscal 1981 administrative budget. Commenting on the restriction, the official said: This budget estimate was computed by using Defense Security Assistance Agency's interpretation of "full cost- ing." However, if we had used. the GAO interpretation, the estimates would be some 750 man-years or $21 million higher. Production Costs Still Not Fully Recovered Since early 1970, GAO has reported that the costs of using Gov- ernment-owned assets to produce items sold to foreign governments were not being recovered. In all, six GAO reports have been issued disclosing millions of dollars in unrecovered costs. A GAO report, issued in June 1979, recognized that DoD had made a marked improvement in its effort to recover in accounting and billing systems still existed. During fiscal 1979 and early 1980, Defense, acting on GAO's recommendations, collecting over $52 million in asset-use and rental charges from foreign governments. DoD has not solved all of its problems in this area. In September 1980, the Defense Audit Service disclosed that DoD had not billed foreign customers for nearly $1 million in asset-use charges on selected foreign military sales cases. These undercharges resulted because the military services did not ensure that customers were charged for contractors' use of Government-owned facilities and plant equipment and because of cost reporting problems. Normal Inventory Losses Still Not Recovered In September 1977, August 1978, and May 1979, GAO reported that Defense appropriations were being used to subsidize the for- eign military sales program because customers were not assessed a portion of the cost of normal inventory losses. GAO reported that the Department of Defense was losing millions of dollars on sales to foreign governments each year. Inventory losses are a normal cost of operating the Defense supply system and include such elements as disposal of excess or obsolete equipment caused by technological improvements and errors in estimating needed quantities, damage and deterioration due to normal wear, shortages and overages discovered in physical inventories, and pilferage. The Arms Export Control Act was amended in September 1978 to expressly require the recovery of these costs on Defense items sold under cooperative logistics supply support arrangements. However, more recent audits show the military service still have not imple- mented this requirement. In a recent report, GAO recognized that the Arms Export Con- trol Act does not expressly require that normal inventory losses be. charged on sales under other than cooperative logistics supply support arrangements. GAO has long contended that inventory loss costs should be included on all sales of secondary items. Informa- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 tion developed as part of the followup work requested, indicates that Defense will lose several million dollars on secondary item sales each year if a factor for normal inventory losses is not includ- ed in sales prices of these items. There is little doubt that noncooperative logistics supply support arrangement customers benefit from Defense s maintenance of an inventory system. Allocating indirect costs such as inventory losses to all customers benefiting from the system which generated those costs is a standard accounting practice. While the act does not expressly require that inventory loss costs be recovered on nonco- operative logistics supply support arrangement sales, it does not prohibit such charges, and their inclusion would be consistent with the intent of the act that Defense appropriations not subsidize the foreign military sales program. It is also pointed out that the selling price of stock fund items does include a surcharge for normal inventory loss whether or not the sales are under coopera- tive logistics supply support arrangements. No specific reduction is recommended for inventory losses, but this loss has been taken into consideration in the reduction made for pricing procedures for secondary and stock funded items. Need To Monitor Implementation of Pricing Policy The persistence of pricing problems over several years resulted in a GAO recommendation in August 1978, which this Committee supported, that a new or existing organization be given specific responsibility for ensuring effective and consistent implementation of foreign military sales pricing policies. The Security Assistance Accounting Center was told, in September 1978, to periodically perform quality assurance pricing tests. At the time of the Commit- tee's hearing (June 1981), this function has not been fully staffed. The continuing nature of the many pricing problems discussed during the hearings serves to illustrate the need for one activity to have specific responsibility for administering pricing policy and monitoring pricing systems. Until this activity effectively provides the needed surveillance over the pricing function, problems can be expected to continue. In view of the Committee's earlier guidance concerning staffing limitations and personnel ceilings there is no reason not to provide personnel needed to conduct these pricing reviews. WAIVERS OF NONRECURRING COSTS Congressional oversight and control over the foreign military sales program is necessary to ensure compliance with congressional intent that foreign governments not be subsidized through the program. To carry out this oversight- and control, the Congress must have adequate information. One of the most significant problems of this nature reported by both GAO and Defense auditors is that DoD has not kept the Congress informed of waivers for non-recurring research, develop- ment, and production costs. Since 1976, Defense has authorized cost waivers of over $800 million without being required to report to the Congress on how the United States benefits from the waivers. The Arms Export Control Act provides that the President may waive or reduce charges for non-recurring costs if the sale would significant- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ly advance U.S. interests in NATO weapons standardization or foreign procurement in the U.S. under coproduction arrangements. In 1976, a Defense Audit Service report stated that the Air Force had not included over $31 million in recoverable non-recurring production costs on selected sales to foreign countries. Similar prac- tices continued and in 1978, GAO reported on the need for more attention to and control of cost waivers under the foreign military sales program. The report addressed actions taken by DoD to au- thorize, account for, and report significant costs waived for foreign military sales and the pricing of these sales. The report showed that the Congress had not been informed of the amounts being waived and the specific reasons for granting waivers although this information would have improved its oversight of the program. GAO, the Defense Audit Service, and the Army Audit Agency all have recently issued audit reports on cost waivers and the failure to recoup the appropriate nonrecurring costs. These reports empha- size the need for compliance with nonrecurring cost recovery re- quirements and recommend improvements to protect the interests of the United States. Although these deficiencies have been contin- ually reported for the last several years, costs still are either not computed, not computed correctly, or computed but not billed. Defense did not concur with the GAO recommendations and has waived several hundred million dollars in costs since the GAO report was issued without reporting to the Congress on the amounts of and justifications for these waivers. As a result, the Congress is not being provided a complete picture of the costs excluded from proposed foreign military sales prices. These waived costs are often significant in relation to the total sales price and should be disclosed so that the Congress can carry out its oversight and control responsibility. A report by the Legislation and National Security Subcommittee of the House Government Operations Committee disclosed that foreign governments waiver requests are granted routinely. The report goes on to state that: Since DoD is not required to get Congressional approval before authorizing waivers or to report to Congress the amount of the waivers, the value of these amounts are not included in the U.S. financial contributions to NATO. According to the Director of the Defense Security Assist- ance Agency, no written criteria for reductions or waivers of pro rata non-recurring costs exist. DoD has rejected GAO's recommendations that such criteria be stated pub- licly and approved by the Congress. Currently, most waiv- ers are granted on the basis of NATO standardization if a member of the alliance purchases the U.S. manufactured weapon systems. Aside from NATO standardization, the Defense Security Assistance Agency has granted a waiver when the number of units purchased by a foreign government is increased over the original contract. The sale of F-18 aircraft to Canada resulted in a waiver of $70 million in non-recur- ring costs and a matching contribution by the Canadian Government which enabled the Canadian Government to purchase additional airplanes. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 It also appears that waivers are granted to facilitate the sale of U.S. weapon systems to other countries. By waiving non-recurring charges, the unit price of the weapon sys- tems can be reduced. The Defense Security Assistance Agency, therefore, often acts as a "salesman" for U.S. manufacturers and also is in the position of influencing the unit price of an item, an apparent conflict of interest. The bill as reported includes a provision (Section 779) which requires prior notification to the Appropriations Committees when- ever DoD proposes to wave cost otherwise required to be recovered under the Arms Export Control Act. FOREIGN MILITARY SALES, SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS DoD has failed to operate the foreign military sales program at no cost to the U.S. taxpayers. Although the amount lost is in dispute, the U.S. 'undoubtedly has absorbed hundreds of millions of dollars in costs which should have been recovered from foreign customers. Centralization of foreign military sales accounting and financial management should, in the long term, be the best alter- native for solving the accounting and financial management prob- lems now plaguing the foreign military sales program. The Committee recognizes that full centralization of accounting and. financial management for foreign military sales could take- several years and, in the short -run, require additional staff re- sources. However, in the long run, this centralization will undoubt- edly reduce the overall costs of administering this program. As a result, it is believed that now is the time to move from the study phase to the implementation phase and that personnel whose time is primarily funded by foreign customers should be exempted from personnel ceilings. DoD pricing policies and practices for foreign military sales of stock fund and secondary items still do not recover estimated re- placement costs as required by law. As a result, many millions of dollars continue to be lost and Defense appropriations continue to subsidize the foreign military sales program. To comply with this statutory requirement and the intent of the. Congress that these sales not be subsidized, DoD must correct the weaknesses in its pricing policies and practices. The Committee is recommending certain financial adjustments in the bill as discussed earlier. Defense should also make a reasonable attempt to collect from foreign customers the undercharges that resulted from failure to charge a reasonable approximation of replacement cost. Action should be taken to attempt to collect undercharges as expeditiously as possible before the military services make final billings for contracts on which the undercharges have occurred. Also, final billings should be adjusted when unauthorized devi- ations from DoD pricing policies are discovered. The longer it takes to attempt to collect undercharges, the more difficult it will be to recover these amounts from foreign governments. Also evidence presented at the hearing clearly indicates that Defense may be routinely waiving non-recurring charges without adequately considering whether the sale would significantly en- hance U.S. interests in NATO standardization. Although the com- mittee supports the goal of greater standardization within the Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 107 NATO alliance, the Committee believes that this exception to the general requirement of recovery of all costs associated with foreign military sales should be more specifically justified. If the laudable goal of increasing NATO standardization is viewed as an automati- cally applied marketing tool, the chance exists that Congress may .f rightfully conclude the U.S. taxpayer is being unfairly burdened by a program that is not closely managed. The committee believes that clearly defining and documenting the justification for each waiver is in our national interest and will sustain the support needed for this program. Finally DoD is directed to: (1) move promptly to phase-in central- ized accounting and financial management of the foreign military sales program. This centralization should be accomplished by (a) establishing centralized case level accounting and financial man- agement for all new sales cases, (b) maintaining current accounting systems for existing sales cases, (c) taking action to expedite closure action for existing sales cases, and (d) developing and designing the new centralized accounting and case managment system in accord- ance with the Comptroller General's principles and standards; (2) provide relief from personnel ceilings for individuals who spend more than 50 percent of their time performing foreign military sales functions for which Defense is reimbursed by the foreign customers. This relief will permit Defense to add the necessary personnel to phase in the centralized accounting and financial management system for all new foreign military sales cases while maintaining the present accounting system for existing foreign military sales cases; (3) assign sufficient staff to the quality assur- ance unit recently established at the Security Assistance Account- ing Center to ensure that Defense components adequately and uniformly implement equitable and effective pricing of stock fund and secondary items to avoid subsidies to foreign customers; and (4) report to Appropriations Committee the amounts and justification for waiving non-recurring production and RDT&E cost of the FMS program. PROCUREMENT OF EAST GERMAN TYPEWRITERS Testimony was received by the Committee concerning the pur- chase of manual typewriters, to be used by the military services, from Communist East Germany to the detriment of free-world manufacturers. There is no prohibition in the Defense Acquisition Regulation against purchases of office equipment from East Germany manu- facturers. Office sized manual typewriters from East Germany are sold in the United States far below fair market value, at about half the cost of almost all free-world manufactured manual typewriters. American importers, wholesalers, and retailers cannot compete using products of free-world countries when the manufactured products of a state-controlled economy are allowed into the United States at half the fair market value. The Committee recommends to the Department of Defense that an examination of existing regulations be made, to consider regula- tions which would correct purchases of this kind, notwithstanding the Treasury Department's contention that it would not be in our best interest to disqualify East German manufacturers from bid- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ding on ordinary commercial items like manual typewriters consid- ering the excellent balance of trade in favor of the U.S. economy. FIELD HOSPITAL PROGRAMS The Army, the Navy, and the Air Force are embarking on major programs to provide wartime medical care capability behind the combat zone. The capability is directed to both a NATO and a rapid deployment force scenario. The cost of this program for the Navy alone is estimated to be about $700 million. The need for this capability is not questioned. In fact, it is doubtful whether we could now provide effective medical care in a war situation involving the RDF. However, the Committee is concerned that there is lack of coordination between the services. This situation can cause overlap, duplication, and the wasteful expenditure of large sums of money. The concern is highlighted by the appearance that the services are taking different approaches to providing this capability. The Committee believes, therefore, that it is premature to ap- prove procurement funding. There is apprehension with respect to the procurement of this type of hospital because the Committee feels that the Services may not have adequately planned for joint use and support of available medical resources in a NATO/Warsaw Pact conflict or in a rapid deployment scenario. Facilities and personnel may not be employed and/or utilized to their maximum advantage. The Services are individually responsible for programming funds and resources to provide peacetime medical support. However, in wartime, medical facilities should support United States forces without regard to the parent service of the casualty. The Commit- tee believes plans should be drawn to ensure that maximum usage is made of hospitals regardless of Service affiliation. There are hospitals that the Services have not made plans to expand to maximum capacity to support wartime efforts. There are physical plants which could be expanded to 1,000 beds or more in an emer- gency. It would seem that this would be a better alternative than a fleet hospital projected to contain 1,000 beds that will cover 60 acres; stored in Oakland, California; and to be flown to a "hot spot" and then probably wouldn't be fully operational for 30 days. There appears to be little or no comprehensive planning for the use of existing facilities (hospitals, schools, or other buildings) that could be converted into hospitals in a more efficient manner than trying to deliver plane loads of collapsable type shelters. More considera- tion should be given to using troop barracks, dependents' quarters, buildings of opportunity with their related equipment to reduce the anticipated shortfall in bed capacity. For these reasons, the Committee recommends reductions of $87,800,000 in Other Procurement, Navy, and $19,500,000 in Other Procurement, Air Force. The Committee also recommends that the DoD create a joint project office to coordinate the planning and procurement for field hospitals. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 CONTRACTING-OUT HOSPITAL OPERATIONS For a number of years the Appropriations Committee has been urging the Department of Defense to test the contracting out of an entire military medical facility. In fiscal year 1981 the Committee appropriated $19.4 million for contracting-out the operation of three non-tertiary care in-patient medical treatment facilities. These funds were not used to contract-out hospital operations but were reprogrammed "to offset higher cost of care provided at PHS and VA facilities" and higher priority "must pay" requirements. The fiscal year 1982 estimate for contracting out hospital facili- ties totaled $29.3 million. The Defense Authorization Bill for 1982 contains a provision prohibiting the contracting-out of an entire medical facility. The authorizing bill also recommends deletion of $15 million of the $29.3 million requested for contracting out. The bill as reported by the Committee deletes the remaining $14.3 million. Significant administrative foot dragging occurred with respect to testing contract operations of a military hospital. The Appropri- ations Committee viewed this approach as a means of challenging the status-quo to induce efficiencies and economies in the in-house system. Contracting has been successfully used by city and county governments and by non-profit institutions. The Surgeons General saw contracting as a threat to their organizations. The Committee believes that contracting-out would have helped the services staff other hospitals where medical personnel short- ages exist and improved medical care at locations having high proportions of active duty personnel. The contracted hospitals could have concentrated on areas of high retired population. Also there is good reason to believe that expansion of the in-house system through contracting in certain geographical areas would reduce the need to issue thousands of non-availability certificates making personnel eligible to seek medical assistance elsewhere because the in-house system cannot provide it. The incremental cost of treating additional persons in already operating but under- utilized in-house facilities would have been much less than the cost of CHAMPUS care. Finally, it was argued that contracting-out would have been det- rimental to military readiness and war time health care. This argument assumes that military personnel would not be available in war time because they would have been replaced by contract personnel. Certainly, availability of personnel who are already working for the DoD, even if in a contract status, is more assured than is the availability of a physician or other health provider serving CHAMPUS patients in private practice. Contracting hospi- tal operations, if properly administered, could insure the early availability of additional health care providers to the military health care system. A larger, more efficient in-house military medical program would reduce dependence on the billion dollar CHAMPUS program that the surgeons general are quick to complain about. The Committee is not unmindful of the many complaints directed at the CHAM- PUS program as well as those directed at in-house military medical facilities as they are currently operated. Challenging the existing Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 system in this way offered an opportunity to make real manage- ment improvements in the Defense health care system. CIVILIAN HEALTH AND MEDICAL PROGRAM OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES (CHAMPUS) The revised budget request for the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services for fiscal year 1982 is $938,631,000, an increase of $57,867,000 over the $880,764,000 ap- propriated for fiscal year 1981. The original January budget esti- mate was $1,006,535,000. The Committee is recommending a reduction of $2.5 million of CHAMPUS funds relating to "study monies". CHAMPUS has pro- grammed $1,231,600 for studies in fiscal year 1982. Also, the DoD stated that an additional $2 million of CHAMPUS funds are with- held annually to finance studies/projects which are initiated by the Assistant Secretary for Health Affairs. The Committee recom- mends deletion of the $2 million in CHAMPUS funds, which are withheld annually to finance studies for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. The Committee is recommending that $1 million of this money be transferred to the Office of the Secre- tary of Defense where it can be identified and justified as money for studies. The Department agrees that several projects. funded with CHAMPUS monies should have been charged to the DoD studies and analysis program rather than CHAMPUS. The CHAM- PUS request for fiscal year 1982 includes an estimate of $500,000 to make a "study to determine factors which influence beneficiary access to civilian medical care and providers acceptance of CHAM- PUS." The $500,000 award of a contract that DoD is considering is a study to determine why more physicians do not participate in CHAMPUS. This study would, in effect, test physician participa- tion under outdated procedures. The Department has already taken action on what many perceive are the two possible factors affecting physician participation in CHAMPUS: (1) legislation to make physician reimbursement levels more reflective of current reasonable charges and (2) CHAMPUS has taken major steps to simplify claims processing, including adopting the American Medi- cal Association's claim form and requiring less physician documen- tation. The provision recommended by the House Armed Services Committee would correct many of these problems and would result in improved health care delivery to military families. . HEALTH CARE PROVIDED IN NON-DEFENSE FACILITIES UBLIC HEALTH SERVICE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS) For fiscal year 1982, the Department of Defense `requested funds totaling $48.9 million to pay for health care provided by Public Health Service hospitals and clinics. The Services' operation and maintenance break-out for fiscal year 1982 shows the Army re- questing $20.4 million, the Navy requesting $19.9 million, and the Air Force requesting $8.6 million. The Committee recommends a total appropriation of $32.9 mil- lion, a reduction of $16,000,000 distributed as follows: a reduction of $6.7 million for the Department of the Army; a reduction of $6.5 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 million for the Department of the Navy, and a reduction of $2.8 million for the Department of the Air Force. The Committee believes that savings to the DoD will be realized since many persons using the Public Health facilities will return to the "in-house" medical system which will only bear the increment-, al costs, not the full cost of this cost. Obviously, the workload that these dollars pay for will not entirely disappear. ABORTION The Committee concurs with the President's recommendation concerning federal funding of abortions. The budget amendment proposal of March 10, 1981, permits the use of Defense funds for abortions only in cases where the mother's life would be endan- gered if the fetus were carried to term. The recommended language is the same as contained in the House-passed version of the fiscal year 1980 Defense Appropriations Bill. The language is as follows: SEC. 757. None of the funds provided by this Act shall be used to perform abortions except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term. CAPITATION BUDGETING The Department of Defense had been engaged in a program to test whether a plan to manage medical resources on a population served basis rather than by using past workload data would result in improved medical care and efficiency. Under pressure from rising health care costs that were drawing revenues from other priority military needs, the military health service system engaged a private company in 1976 to develop and test a capitation budget- ing system for its hospitals. In one region, capitation budgeting followed traditional lines of authority for budget development and execution (based on past workload data). In the second test region, a tri-service regional committee developed and executed the budget. Based on independent evaluation of the four year capitation budgeting test, along with comments from the three Services, the Assistant Secretaries of Defense for Health Affairs, Manpower, Reserve Affairs, Logistics, and the Comptroller, the Department concluded: (1) the methodology and regional management aspects tested did not result in significant improvements over the tradi- tional budgeting system, and (2) the management flexibilities in- cluded in the test deserve further study as they indicate potential for improving operations. The net result was that the test was terminated at the end of fiscal year 1981, and that a study of the management flexibilities will be pursued for possible integration into the existing planning, programming, budgeting structure. Therefore, the Committee rec- ommends deletion of the capitation budgeting provision (Sec. 750 of last year's Defense Appropriation Act). H.Rept. 97-333 --- 8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 MILITARY GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS The number of Army physicians involved in graduate medical education and training programs continues to increase and re- mains considerably higher than the Navy and the Air Force. The total number of Army physicans- engaged in residency education and training as of March 1979 was 1,068: as of June of this year, the number had increased by 192, totaling 1,250, or an 18 percent increase over the March 1979 level. Two years ago the Committee strongly recommended that the Army reduce its graduate medical education programs over a period of years. The Office of Secretary of Defense backed up the Committee on.this matter at that time- March 1979 but it is apparent that no progress has been made. In 1979 the Army had approximately 35 percent of their physi- cians engaged in graduate medical education and teaching pro- grams, a large portion of these students and instructor physicians were located at the Army medical centers generally distant from the active duty and active duty dependent population. Today the same situation prevails. Information made available to the Com- mittee by the Army Surgeon General on June 23, 1981 shows a total of 3,151 military physicians in the continental United States. Of this total, 1,260 were residents in training. Thus, over 40 per- cent of the total CONUS Army physicians are in a training status. The Institute of Medicine stated in its report of July 1981 that almost 60 percent of active duty Army physicians are assigned to eight Army medical centers where most of the Graduate Medical Education is provided. Thus, five percent of Army hospitals employ or teach 60 percent of Army physicians. Most of these large hospi- tals (medical centers) are located in large cities and are not near posts with major troop concentrations. This results in a significant portion of the patients treated in these centers being retirees, their. dependents, and other secondary beneficiaries. The increase in graduate medical education programs is designed to assist in recruiting and retaining physicians but it has also caused serious mal-distribution of active duty physicians among the facilities operated by each military medical department. Some posts in relatively remote areas are unable to provide essential medical services for the active duty personnel and dependents pri- marily because of physician shortage-the shortage being caused, ? in considerable part, by the large percentage of physicians and support staff being used to operate Graduate Medical Education programs in metropolitan areas. It is obvious that the assignment of 60 percent of Army physi- at large Graduate Medical Education facilities and major cians medical centers has, and still does have an adverse consequence for the staffing of the military hospitals operated by the Army. It also drives up the numbers of physicians that must be employed by the Army. The Committee continues to believe that closure of one or two of these facilities would be in the best interest of the Army and the taxpayer. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 UTILIZATION OF MEDICAL FACILITIES For several years, the Committee has discussed the subject of low active duty utilization of medical facilities, particularly Fitzsimons and Letterman Hospitals. The Department of Defense health offi- cials have stated that the government is wasting money in some of these underutilized areas because of political pressure. Two years ago, the Army Surgeon General testified that "I am probably the first Army Surgeon General who has ever been will- ing to say that perhaps some of the Army medical centers are located in the wrong place, but don't put the padlock on the door tonight . . ." Two years have passed and there hasn't been any padlock put on any door. As a matter of fact not one step has been taken to relocate these resources. Senate Report No. 97-67, accompanying the Supplemental Ap- propriations and Rescission Bill, 1981, states that "The Committee believes the Public Health Service hospital and clinic system no longer can be justified as a Federal expense . . . . The Committee is advised by the Administration that occupancy rates of the hospi- tals have averaged about 67 percent since 1976 compared to nation- al minimum standards of 80 percent occupancy." Testimony re- veals that there were over 100 military hospitals that reported occupancy rates of less than 80 percent or the national minimum standard. There were over 30 military hospitals below the 67 per- cent occupancy rate-the rate that was used as a criteria for clos- ing PHS facilities but not a single military hospital is even being considered for closure. Certainly, the occupancy rates are inform- ative only when interpreted in light of the location, mission, size and to some extent, the supported population, of the health care facility. Nevertheless, if the Administration's criteria for closing the Public Health Service hospitals is based on the fact that the hospitals have averaged about 67 percent occupancy rates since 1976 compared to the national minimum standard of 80 percent occupancy rates, then it would seem that at least some streamlin- ing of the military medical facilities could be accomplished. One way to streamline operations and improve utilization of medical personnel is to close some of the underutilized military medical facilities and transfer the manpower and equipment elsewhere to better serve the active military personnel and their dependents. ARMY MEDICAL INTELLIGENCE AND INFORMATION AGENCY The Army Medical Intelligence and Information Agency (MIIA) is located at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and is principally funded in the intelligence budget. Additional funding is provided by the Office of the Surgeon General in Program 8. Also this Agency has used CHAMPUS funds to conduct operations. The mission of the MIIA is to produce scientific and technical medical intelligence studies and reports; administer the exploitation of foreign medical materiel for the Army; to utilize the medical research and develop- ment successes of other countries to improve U.S. efforts; and to develop, manage and control medical data bases. As accomplish- ments, MIIA claims: production of 120 Health Alert and Threat Summaries in support of deployed U.S. forces and for contingency planning; provision of information to medical personnel related to Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 expected diseases from Cuban and Vietnamese boat people; provi- sion of general medical information to the Air Force in support of VIP. trips to foreign countries; evaluation of dangers to medical teams designated to go to El Salvador and other politically unsta- ble areas; and participation in planning for medical support for RDJTF deployments. A review of the mission and particularly the past accomplish- ments of this Agency leads the Committee to seriously question its need and utility. The Agency appears to duplicate the efforts of other military and civilian medical hospitals, institutions, agencies, and medical libraries in the United States. The Agency is not an intelligence activity but serves as a medical information agency and as a staff support agency for the Army Surgeon Generals' Office. The total direct funding estimate of the Army Medical Intelli- gence and Information Agency amounts to. $1,214,000 for fiscal year 1982. The Committee recommends a reduction of $485,000 in the Operation and Maintenance account and the closing of the Army Medical Intelligence and Information Agency no later than Sep- tember 1, 1982. To effect this closing by September 1, 1982, the Committee is recommending the following general provision in the bill: SEC. 783. None of the funds provided in this Act shall be available for operation of the Army Medical Intelligence and Information Agency after September 1, 1982. READINESS COMMAND The Committee considered imposing a reduction to the budget of the Readiness Command with a view toward disestablishing this Headquarters. There is reason to believe the roles and missions of the Command have become unclear since the creation of the Rapid Deployment Joint Task force. This concern was heightened when the previous Commander of the Command testified he intended to recommend abolishing the headquarters. The Committee wants to be certain that critical missions would continue to be carried out should Readiness Command be abolished or reorganized in a major way. Certain essential transportation = and communication functions and units come under this headquar- ters. Precipitous action to dissolve the Command at this time could well be counter-productive both from a fiscal and organizational standpoint even though.the record suggests that major changes are warranted. Given this misgiving, the Committee recommends full funding for the Readiness Command headquarters and will pursue the matter in next year's hearings, hopefully, leading to a Committee decision in connection with the fiscal year 1983 budget. The Department of Defense and Readiness Command leaders should prepare themselves for questioning as to the future require- ments for this headquarters to include the planning for alternative command arrangements. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 FORWARD BASING RDF The Rapid Deployment Force concept has become a permanent part of our overall doctrine of national defense. Taking this concept into account, it is our responsibility to make rapid deployment achievable.. In so doing, we must seriously address the question of forward basing. This Subcommittee is concerned that too many uncertain agree- ments are assumed with countries in question. In order to assure this Subcommittee of our ability to rapidly deploy our forces, we strongly suggest that these assumptions be replaced with formal agreements or appropriate understandings as soon as possible. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM GROWTH The Air Force budget request includes an increase of $300,000 to start a new journal called "Defense Equal Opportunity Manage- ment Institute Journal". This new publication would be produced by a civilian firm and would replace the publication called "Reflec- tions" produced in-house by the Air Force. The Committee believes that such an important effort as Department of Defense-wide equal opportunity policies should continue to be done in-house rather than be farmed out to a civilian firm. Consequently the Committee is deleting the requested increase of $300,000. The Navy has requested a real program increase of $400,000 in fiscal year 1982 in order to advertise, the United States Govern- ment as an equal opportunity employer. The Committee believes that it is important to insure that there is a representative number of minority personnel within the Department of Navy. However, when the Committee requested specific data to indicate how many additional minority personnel would be hired or if the advertising would be targeted to difficult to recruit areas such as scientists or engineers, the Navy was unable to provide justification. The Com- mittee is consequently deleting the. $400,000 and suggesting that prior to requesting funds to increase this effort, the Navy should be in a positio to provide a comprehensive plan as to the targeted audiences, the anticipated improvement in recruiting which would result, and so forth. AUDIO-VISUAL TRANSFER In July the Administration submitted a budget amendment to the Congress which made a reduction of $45.9 million for audio- visual and related activities. In presenting this amendment all of the reduction was applied against the operation and maintenance appropriation even though the procurement and military personnel appropriations contained significant resources to support audio- visual activities. The Air Force and Navy have requested that the Committee reallocate this reduction in order to make it more equitable and feasible of accomplishment. The bill makes adjustments to the audio-visual program which nets to zero. WORLD WIDE COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM-TRANSFER The bill as reported by the Committee also reflects the transfer of $16 million in WWMCCS (World Wide Military Command and Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Control System) from the operation and maintenance Air Force appropriation to the O&M, Defense Agencies appropriation-$2.5 million; the RDT&E Defense Agencies Appropriation-$8.0 million; and the Procurement, Defense Agencies appropriation-$5.5 mil- lion. The above transfer is required for the Defense Communication Agency to accomplish improvements to the WWMCCS 'information system and the WWMCCS inter computer network.

During fiscal years 1981 and 1982 the Army proposes to add about 15,600 more foreign national employees out of a total addition of 21,200. By far the largest allocation of these spaces is to replace borrowed military manpower in order to return a soldier back to his unit. Other increases in Army civilian personnel strengths involve additions to depot maintenance, procurement activities, supply and contract administration. The netted increase to the Army's FY 1982 budget resulting from the addition of these civilian workers is approximately $285 million. The bill as proposed by the Committee deletes 5,000 of the for- eign national hires and directs that the Army seek ways to hire U.S. citizens on a non-PCS basis to fill a large portion of the other 5,000 foreign nationals requested for FY 1982. A general provision is proposed in the bill which would prohibit hiring foreign national employees in overseas area when a U.S. citizen is available at the overseas area. This provision is added to insure that the Army can make maximum use of American citizens (largely dependents of military personnel) in filling these positions. POMCUS The Committee reports of the last two years have expressed some of the Committee's concerns with respect to the proposals to in- crease the numbers of division sets of equipment prepositioned in Europe as a part of the POMCUS program. (See report 96-1317, FY 1981 pages 167-170 and report 96-450, FY 1980 pages 229-231). The POMCUS approach to reducing response times for U.S. forces to Europe was first used in conjunction with the 1961 Berlin crisis. The objective of the POMCUS program is to reduce U.S. deploy- ment time in response to a Warsaw Pact attack against NATO's central region. By prepositioning combat and support equipment, the initial war time movement requirement is reduced since only the personnel and their personal equipment need be moved by aircraft. In the Committee's opinion the proposals to expand the number of division sets of equipment in storage in Europe from four to six represents too much of a good thing. The United States has a very limited number of active Army combat divisions. (Sixteen divisions, three of which are only partially manned by active personnel). Considering this nation's worldwide military requirements and the limited numbers of Army forces available to meet this threat the addition of more equipment in Europe further reduces already limited capabilities to deploy elsewhere. The Army is fully aware of this problem as reflected from the following quotations taken from the Army white paper which was written to provide a framework to structure the Army of the 1980's: The threats to US interests beyond Europe likely to emerge in the decades ahead will be extraordinarily di- verse. The increased demand for limited resources world- wide is likely to undergird confrontations. They include not only the USSR, but heavily armed Soviet surrogates Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 and independent, militarily sophisticated Third World na- tions. Threats to US security outside of Europe in the 1980s will span an increased spectrum of conflict ranging from terrorism to insurgency to highly intense convention- al warfare. Such contingencies could occur in a variety of militarily demanding environments, from deserts to moun- tainous regions to tropical rain forests. The requirement for flexibility is apparent. * * * Our capabilities to project combat power worldwide must be improved. We are approaching the upper limits of feasi- bility in the POMCUS programmed for Europe. Further improvement must come from improved strategic mobility (particularly fast sealift) force structure changes, Host Nation Support, and, where possible, lighter more capable forces. The stratetgic deployability of the Army's rapid deployment forces must make a quantum improvement. There will be no major near term improvement in the capability of airlift to move heavy forces. We must seek alternatives such as deployment by fast moving Roll-On Roll-Off ships, and light, mobile anti-armor capable forces that can be deployed by air. * * * Our current program for the rapid reinforcement of NATO has focused on the early deployment of heavy forces. However, we must continually examine the utility of light, rapidly deployable divisions in Central Europe to achieve a balance of heavy and light forces that will pro- vide a better overall defense given the terrain variations and urban sprawl that exists and is projected in much the region. * * * Given the limited sustainment capability of most poten- tial adversaries, the critical phase of the conflict is likely to take place within the first few weeks as enemy forces attempt a quick, decisive victory. In most cases where a sophisticated threat is present, there will be a need for some anti-armor capability early. The limitations posed by stratetic airlift argue in favor of further development of fast sealift and some form of limited prepositioning. A force element, incorporating new technologies in conjunc- tion with light infantry, could enhance flexibility and achieve the early presence necessary to preclude an unop- posed threat victory and permit US forces to gain the initiative. This concept would be enhanced by designing follow on heavy forces that could begin immediate move- ment on prepositioned Roll-On Roll-Off ships when the decision to commit forces is made. The Committee believes that the philosophy expressed in the above paragraphs from the Army's own white paper is correct. There is a clear need to retain flexibility with respect to the deployment of remaining Army divisions, less those already for- ward deployed or those for which equipment is pre-deployed in Europe, through the increased use of rapid deployment ships. The Committee fully supports the budget proposals to provide a near term roll-on roll-off ship capability to our Armed Forces. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 124 A study by the Congressional Budget Office determined that if an attack on Western Europe came without warning, or with little warning, the POMCUS stocks might be vulnerable to destruction by both ground and air attack because units from the United States could not arrive soon enough to withdraw the equipment from storage sites. On the other hand this study showed that if the attack occurred following a lengthy Warsaw Pact buildup and the U.S. reacted to that buildup, programs to increase the number of divisions in POMCUS are less effective then spending equal sums to modernize the Army more rapidly or to increase the overall size of the Army. The reserve forces policy board has also stated that increasing the POMCUS goal from the original three full division sets to the currently proposed six division sets means the withdrawal of equip- ment from the Army guard and reserve or further delays in provid- ing these reserve components with modern equipment compatible with that in the active force. Continued drawdowns of reserve component equipment hampers training and reduces morale in addition to inhibiting the training: of additional units and replace- ments in the early months of a national defense emergency. While the Army has made a commitment not to further drawdown re- serve component equipment for POMCUS purposes current policy will have the effect of slowing down the flow of equipment into reserve components and continue to degrade reserve component readiness. The fiscal year 1982 request includes $166.6 million for support of the POMCUS program. Included in this amount is approximate- ly $12.5 million for procurement of tool kits and load list items and for preparation of vehicles to transfer to division set five. The bill as reported by the Committee deletes this $12.5 million and con- tains a general provision prohibiting the expenditure of funds for division sets five and six. The Committee hopes that this action will put to rest the issue of additional POMCUS sets for Europe and cause the Department of Defense to move forward expeditious- ly with programs to improve fast sealift. The Committee realizes that international relations type argu- ments will be raised against the Committee's position, including the "old hat" of not living up to our agreements. The fact remains that the United States has made a major new commitment to the NORTHAG region in recent years. This major new commitment was done without any changes to formal agreements and only the implied consent of the Congress. Also, the division sites under construction, principally division site five, are being built with NATO infrastructure funding and thus the facility could be used for the storage of war reserve equipment by any of the NATO allies. Finally, since the decision to "POMCUS" more division sets in Europe, the United States has incurred major new military responsibilities in Southwest Asia as a result of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the revolution in Iran. These responsibilities can not be met by Army divisions when their equipment is stored in Europe.

The amount requested is $977 million compared with $421 million in FY 1981. The Committee has considerable doubts as to the accuracy of some of the individu- al increases proposed within this effort but has provided funding as requested for all items except one. For example the request does not reflect slowed deliveries of equipment from procurement. The bill as reported deletes an increase of $5.9 million. This increase is for studies and analysis (computer programming, etc.) at the TRADOC Combat Development Activities Center. This increase cannot be justified as an item of force modernization. The Committee will also request the General Accounting Office to undertake a detailed review of the Army's system for program- ming, budgeting and accounting for these force modernization ef- forts. The Army projects the cost of introducing new weapon sys- tems to increase from the current annual rate of $421 million to $2.6 billion during the next five years. RUSTPROOFING VEHICLES IN HAWAII The budget request includes $4.5 million in FY 1982 and $3.1 million in FY 1981 to repair rust damage to vehicles which have been stored outside in Hawaii. As of the end of October 1981, no contract had been awarded even though fiscal year 1981 funds were available. The budget proposal estimates labor costs on this contract at $29 an hour. The Committee's alternative would pro- pose a more reasonable labor rate of $20 an hour. Even if the contract agreement exceeds the labor cost estimates in the bill, delays in contract awards make the reduction feasible. EUROPEAN AMMUNITION PROGRAM The Army budget request included an increase of $26.9 million related to the on-going ammunition build-up in Europe. Transpor- tation funds are not included in this portion of the increase. The increase was to finance a level of effort in FY 1982 which would be about 35,000 tons greater than that accomplished in FY 1981. There has been a continuing problem in overcoming the storage space shortages caused by safety considerations, environmental problems and delays in construction. The Army's own figures indi- cate that it will not have room ready on time to store the ammuni- tion. The Committee recommends a reduction of $17.1 million to more closely reflect the storage capacities. ARMY NATO CONTRIBUTION The Army has budgeted an increase of $5.9 million in fiscal year 1982 for anticipated increases required in the U.S. contribution to the NATO military budget. The Army has revised the estimate of its share of the NATO contribution and a reduction of $3.4 million is recommended.

I Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89MOO61OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 SHIP OPERATIONS The budget for ship operations includes an addition of $100.0 million to partially offset the reduction of $173.0 million proposed in the September amendment. The addition was made because the Committee has doubts if a reduction of this size can realistically be made in view of the operating tempo in the Persian Gulf area. In addition testimony by the Chief of Naval Operations indicated that the Navy would probably have to steam additional hours in re- sponse to direction from higher authority. The bill as adjusted by the Committee also reflects a reduction of about $38.0 million for Navy Strategic Force Operations. This re- duction is made as a result of continued delays in the operational deployment of the TRIDENT submarine and failure to adequately adjust the budget estimates to reflect the phase-out of the ten Polaris submarines during the past two years. SCOPE OF EFFORT CHANGES ON SHIP OVERHAULS As Naval ships became more complex and the average age of those ships retained in the fleet increased, so did the effort of estimating a definitive overhaul work package. Frequently, post induction open and inspection procedures disclose repair require- ments not previously allowed for. This results in either a reduction in the original work package for a given ship or a program reduc- tion elsewhere to accommodate for the increased scope of effort. Consequently, some years ago the Navy commenced budgeting for a funding wedge in the subsequent year for scope of effort changes relative to the initial ship overhaul repair package. The Committee also attempted to address this problem through the use of a two year appropriation since multiyear funding of ship overhauls from an annual appropriation is not proper. Navy indi- cated that a two year availability which "fenced" ship overhaul would be unnecessarily restrictive, and the proposal was dropped in conference. The Committee is now recommending new language in the fiscal year 1982 Bill, Section 708 (n) and (o), which will allow Navy to budget for scope of effort changes in the same fiscal year in which the ship is inducted. The Committee believes this procedure will alleviate the problem Navy has encountered in maintaining ac- countability of fiscal year funds used to finance increased scope of effort changes. These funds will remain unobligated at the end of the fiscal year and remain available to finance scope of effort changes. It should be noted that the language is restricted to depot level maintenance related work on ships. The Office of the Secre- tary of Defense and the Military Departments should take what- ever action deemed necessary to assure availability of resources at end year. The Committee proposes an increase of $58 million in fiscal year 1982 to cover change order costs related to ship over- hauls based on an average of such costs identified for the last three fiscal years. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Such costs for other depot maintenance programs should be cov- ered from unobligated balances available at end year from within the appropriation which funded the initial repair effort. Language has also been included which would allow the use of current year appropriations to cover unusual cost overruns, with prior congressional approval, associated with depot repair work inducted in the previous fiscal year. ADVANCED FUNDING FOR SHIP OVERHAULS The ship overhaul program includes an estimate of $144.6 mil- lion in fiscal year 1982 for work to be accomplished prior to actual induction of the ship into the shipyard for repair and overhaul in fiscal year 1983. The use of advanced funding has become more and more prominent in the ship overhaul program as the complexity and duration of overhauls has increased. Justification of these funds is on a total basis computed on a factor per ship (there is no allocation by ship in the justification material). Advanced funding is provided on the premise that it is necessary to accomplish pre- induction planning and design effort and long lead time material procurement in order to minimized actual time the ship is retained in the shipyard in performance of the overhaul. The Committee agrees with the concept. However, numerous audit reports have indicated an impropriety in the application of advanced planning funds with funds given to the shipyard to accomplish the overhaul effort. This situation occurs when the advance planning effort is conducted concurrent with accomplishment of the overhaul and extends over two fiscal years. Last year the Committee attempted to address this problem by making ship maintenance funds availa- ble for two years. This approach was rejected in conference with the Senate. The Committee has discussed with the Navy alternative means of financing; namely, the possibility of using either the industrial fund or the stock fund to initially purchase long lead time materi- al. Navy response has repeatedly been in support of maintaining the current method of funding. However, use of the stock fund has a two fold benefit. First it moves towards single year financing of the repair effort and second, by allocating stock fund resources to the shipyard, material and supplies are held in the stock fund until issued. Having the stock fund hold the inventory allows for redis- tribution of material assets, an issue which has also been addressed in numerous audit reports. The Philadelphia shipyard has been procuring material via the stock fund for several years, thus there is no reason to believe that the other shipyards could not operate in a similar manner. Reimbursement to the stock fund would be made from funds made available to the shipyard upon induction of the ship for overhaul. Advanced funds would then provide for only those efforts which are either labor intensive or under contract and more con- trollable. Subsequent to induction of the ship into the shipyard, all costs including those related to continuing advance planning ef- forts, will be charged to the project order financing the overhaul. Navy should take action at that time to lapse all funds initially allocated for advanced planning efforts which have not been used. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 A reduction of $82.4 million has been made to the request of $144.6 million for advanced funding based on direction to Navy to finance the procurement of long lead time material by using the stock fund. Payment to the stock fund should be included in the Navy's cost estimate by ship in the fiscal year of induction; identifi- cation of such amounts included in the overall cost per ship should be maintained. "BARTENDER" FOR DIEGO GARCIA The bill as reported by the Committee deletes $5.0 million of the $9.5 million contained in the bill for the "Bartender/MARBARGE" floating support facility in Diego Garcia. This project was conceived and developed during the first quarter of 1981. The concept was to provide a self sustaining floating base maintenance/ repair facility to support the ships of the near term prepositioned force. This large floating platform was envisioned to encompass and consolidate the maintenance, administration, and recreational requirements under one functional area of operation. As the program began to take shape cost estimates rose sharply. Reducing the scope of the concept became necessary due to finan- cial and budgetary constraints. It is now clear that the Navy will have difficulty in getting under way even a much smaller program. The Navy has not identified the additional support surface require- ments for the near term prepositioning fleet and estimates that bringing this armada of land craft, lighterage, tugs and crew boats will cost about $2.0 million in FY 1982. The bill includes funds for this purpose. TARBATNESS During consideration of fiscal year 1981 supplemental the Con- gress provided funds for the Navy to lease the RFA TARBATNESS and LYNESS from the British Navy. At that time, the Appropri- ations Committee contended that while there was some urgent need for the early lease of the LYNESS, the TARBATNESS should not be leased but should be purchased in FY 1982 because there was no urgent requirement for its immediate use. The Navy saw fit to argue otherwise and contended that it needed to place the TARBATNESS into service immediately. The Committee has since learned that the Navy intends to place the ship in a ship yard for modifications in lieu of using the vessel to support the Pacific Fleet. Accordingly the bill deletes $5.0 million programmed for operation of this ship. BERTHING BARGES In view of the General Accounting Office findings transmitted to the Committee via letter on June 23, 1981, covering "Navy's berth- ing facilities for ships undergoing overhaul" has recommended de- letion of ten berthing barge overhauls from the bill. This deletion is also in agreement with the Committee's policy to reduce to the absolute minimum the numbers of personnel assigned to ships undergoing overhaul. The bill as reported by the committee in- cludes funds to build four new berthing barges. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 NAVY AIR OPERATIONS The bill as reported by the Committee contains a general in- crease of $25.0 million to partially offset the reductions made in the September amendment. This increase is partially offset by reductions of $9.0 million allocated against the S-3A flying hour budget. This aircraft is experiencing an unbelievably low fully- mission capable rate and the partially-mission capable rate is not much better. The Navy contends that the budgeted flying hour program for this aircraft is well within the capability of the fleet. This may be correct but it does not alter the fact that much of the avionics equipment is not working at any given point in time and therefore any training received is degraded. The bill as proposed by the Committee provides for a flying rate of approximately 450 hours per year per airplane compared to the request of 553 hours per year. TOMAHAWK MISSILE, TECHNICAL SERVICE SUPPORT The Navy O&M budget contains about $3.4 million for increased technical support to. the Tomahawk submarine launch cruise mis- sile program as part of an overall increase of $6.4 million. This program still has research and development funds and procure- ment funds available. General practice has in the past been to continue technical service support and engineering support in the procurement and RDT&E appropriations until all production has been completed. COMMANDER IN CHIEF, U.S. NAVAL FORCES, EUROPE The Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Naval Forces, Europe (CINCUS- NAVEUR) has three command roles: (1) under the joint European Command, he has operational control over forces; namely, the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean and the Mideast Force in the Persian Gulf (the latter operating under the Pacific Command since November 1979 where it may remain for some while); (2) under Commander, Atlantic Fleet, he serves a subordinate role as Commander, Eastern Atlantic (COMEASTLANT), in which he operationally controls and logistically supports units operating in northern European waters; and (3) under the Chief of Naval Oper- ations, he administratively supports and supervises Navy shore activities in Europe through a number of subordinate commands. CINCUSNAVEUR has no role in controlling forces under NATO in crisis or war, because the Sixth Fleet forces chop to NATO com- mand headed by a British Admiral. The Committee Surveys and Investigations staff conducted a de- tailed review of the CINCUSNAVEUR organization this spring. A copy of the lengthy classified report is available for reading by members of Congress, who desire more information on the role of this headquarters. In a number of alleged Navy-wide personnel decrements since 1973, particularly applicable to headquarters management staffs, cuts purportedly were taken in CINCUSNA- VEUR staffing; however, documents obtained by the Committee disclose a practice of "stashing" personnel in other commands and units and ceasing the counting of them against headquarters staff, thus not actually taking the alleged cuts. A system of allocating Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 personnel under accounting codes unrelated to the actual functions of the personnel but thereby ambiguously spreading the manpower authorizations among a variety of designations serves to avoid revealing the authorizations as actually being in support of CIN- CUSNAVEUR management. Of 847 personnel authorizations for FY 1981 in the building housing CINCUSNAVEUR, only 264 are counted against the headquarters management ceiling. A new Fleet Command Center is an example of the fragmenta- tion of personnel and empire building that results. A center for computerized manipulation and display of data to support the com- mand and control responsibility of CINCUSNAVEUR in exercises or an actual crisis already exists (and it has been one of the separate commands in which personnel authorizations have been stashed); but a separate new control center is planned for more elaborate manipulation and display of data so that both centers will be engaged in overlapping functions (one for "control" and the other for "command"). The new Fleet Command Center has 74 positions authorized for FY 1982 though the necessary equipment and construction for them to perform planned duties will not be available for several years-nine newly graduated ensigns already have arrived and are being assigned among various sections to learn about Navy field operations generally. Aside from the prema- ture transfer in of unneeded manpower, the Investigative Staff has strong misgivings in funding the new center at all-in the absence of a command/control role for CINCUSNAVEUR over NATO forces in crisis. Construction of this new center should be terminat- ed. In reviewing individual functions against workloads and man- ning levels, the Investigative Staff identified 127 positions for FY 1982 (including the aforementioned 74 in the Fleet Command Center) susceptible of elimination. Considering areas in which time constraints did not permit indepth job audits and considering the prior history of concealing alleged cuts not really taken, the Com- mittee recommends an across-the-board reduction of 150 to 200 positions in the FY 1982 request, with the Navy providing satisfac- tory documentation that ordered cuts are, in fact, taken. Annual savings thereby derived would be $2.7 to $3.5 million in salary costs and at least a like amount in support costs involved in overseas assignments. Examination of possible alternative command arrangements under which functions of CINCUSNAVEUR, still could be per- formed, disclosed no alternative that would be militarily or eco- nomically effective. Any attempt to combine CINCUSNAVEUR with other existing commands, in Europe or at Norfolk, Virginia, would result in augmented personnel to continue the COMEAST- LANT functions sited in London, which would more than offset personnel savings in such combination. Other military and econom- ic disadvantages weigh against an alternative structure, and no worthwhile advantage really would be realized by giving a NATO role to CINCUSNAVEUR under existing command arrangements. Thus the alternatives, to the extent they exist, are either a sub- stantial reduction in the bloated manning levels for this headquar- ters with a view towards further reductions in later years following a review of this slimmed down organization or alternatives for the Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 total abolishment of CINCUSNAVEUR. The later course of action is not recommended at this time, but could be pursued if the Navy fails to take corrective action. CHIEF OF NAVAL MATERIAL The request to operate the Chief of Navy Material Headquarters contains real program growth of $1.5 million. The Committee sees no reason to enlarge the size of this staff when there is consider- able disagreement over the need for a Material Headquarters to oversee the various Navy Systems Commands. NAVAL ARCTIC RESEARCH LABORATORY The Congress directed closure of this research laboratory in 1978. The Navy is still in the process of closing the facility. The fiscal year 1982 budget includes $2.0 million for operations and $4.3 for one-time closure costs. It now appears that the Navy will not be able to accomplish the closure in FY 1982. Therefore, $4.3 has been deleted from the bill. There are also indications that better cooperation between the U.S. Geological Survey which will use some of the buildings and the Navy could result in operating cost reductions. CARRIER ACTIVATION STUDY After the Congress deleted all funds for the activation of the aircraft carrier Oriskany, the Navy undertook to reprogram funds, without notifying the Congress, to study carrier reactivations. Since this matter was clearly a matter of special congressional interest, a reprogramming was required. Due to the failure to follow the agreed upon procedures, one reduction of $5 million has been made to NAVSEA's technical support program which served as the source of funds. The Navy Air Systems Command using its Naval Air Logistic Center has over the years developed an efficient and cost effective method for contracting aircraft maintenance in support of training operations. The Naval Education and Training Command now wants to take over these contracts and use a different contract procedure which will. place a higher salary cost and overhead burden on the contractors and increase government labor costs as well. Recent studies and the award of the TH-57 helicopter mainte- nance contract indicate that the change from the existing contrac- tual concepts to the Chief of Naval Air Training philosophy would increase contract logistics cost by as much as 40 percent. The contract for TH-57 maintenance was awarded at $5.2 million- about $1.2 million less than the budget. In addition, the Navy now plans to continue military personnel support of the program until the end of the year. Had the Navy not changed the practice of how it budgets for such support, the actual cost would have been about $2.5 million below the budgeted estimates based on alternative contract proposals. The Committee directs the Navy to return man- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 agement of these contracts to the Naval Air Systems Command's Air Logistics Center unless valid reasons can be found for using the new approach. LEASESAT The LEASESAT satellite system is a communications satellite system for the Navy. It is scheduled to be launched on the shuttle. The original contract between the Navy and the manufacturer of the satellite called for payments to begin after the successful oper- ation of the initial LEASESAT satellite. Due to slippage of the shuttle, the Committee has no objection to the modification of the contract, as outlined in the "AIDE MEMOIRE" on this program. The Committee recommends an increase of $59,000,000 in Oper- ations and Maintenance, Navy for the LEASESAT program. NAVAL DATA AUTOMATION COMMAND AND REGIONAL DATA COMMANDS In last year's report (96-1317, pages 156-157) the Committee expressed strong reservations that the Naval Data Automation Command (NAVDAC) was fulfilling the responsibilities for which it was established in 1977. As a result, the Committee's Surveys and Investigations Staff was directed to look into various aspects of NAVDAC including its effectiveness in managing not only its own resources (including its regional data processing centers), but the overall Navy Automatic Data Processing (ADP) program as well. The Investigative Staff found that NAVDAC has been relatively ineffectual in carrying out its mission responsibilities from a Navy- wide standpoint. Internally, i.e., NAVDAC and its subordinate Navy Regional Data Processing Centers (NARDAC's), there has been some success in providing ADP service to "customers" in the geographic areas served by the NARDAC's; however, many users complained regarding the level and quality of the service. It appears that. most of the problems in Navy ADP at this time are beyond NAVDAC's ability to correct. The principal underlying reason why Navy ADP is relatively uncontrolled is that it is not a major concern of top level Navy management. Even though NAVDAC is a command under the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), it is too low in the hierarchy. ADP is perceived to be unimportant in the overall scheme of things to merit the interest and concern of several CNO staff echelons. As a result, there is no cohesiveness in the management of ADP. Each Navy organization operates fairly independently in accordance with the Navy's policy of decentralized program execution. NAVDAC is unable to gain control of its Navy-wide mission responsibilities nor is it able to bring about those actions necessary for it to be completely success- ful in the ADP service center business. NAVDAC represents the results of a reorganization effort in- tended to correct numerous long standing deficiencies in Navy ADP management. A 1976 internal Navy study and reorganization plan culminated in the establishment of NAVDAC and six NAR- DAC's located in San Francisco, San Diego, Pensacola, Jackson- ville, Norfolk, and Washington, D.C. It was intended that the estab- lishment of NAVDAC would improve the Navy's ADP posture by Approved For. Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061 OR000100040004-8 correcting the problems and shortcomings that were known to exist throughout the Navy: Unfortunately, the Committee's Investigative Staff found that NAVDAC has not fulfilled the goals for which it was established. Some of the problems that were mentioned frequently in earlier studies still exist today, with NAVDAC having had little influence toward their correction. There are several reasons why NAVDAC has been relatively ineffectual and somewhat controversial to date. ADP Is NOT A MAJOR CONCERN OF THE Top LEVEL NAVY MANAGEMENT NAVDAC has been handicapped by its location in the Navy organizational hierarchy. Although it is in the CNO chain in com- mand, it is "buried" at too low a~ level to be effective. Commanded by a junior two-star admiral who is several flag rank positions below even the Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO), there is practically no opportunity for major problems or positive initiatives to surface at a level where senior level visibility, acceptance, and support is necessary. As a result, commands with more senior level support (three- and four-star flag rank) are able to influence the actions of NAVDAC, irrespective of the merits of the issue. Also, it was noted that NAVDAC has made practically no inroads on mold- ing the direction of the Navy as a whole in terms of Navy-wide standards, procedures, planning, etc. The major claimants, e.g., Naval Materiel Command's (NAVMAT's) systems commands, bu- reaus, etc., were each observed to be abiding by their own policies and procedures which had been established long before the advent of NAVDAC. In essence there continues to be little integration of effort on a Navy-wide ' basis. Even if initiatives are generated in NAVDAC (which have been minimal), it is doubtful that they would be embraced and implemented by other Navy organizations. The low level of NAVDAC in the Navy organization is more than countered by the higher flag rank commands, particularly in NAVMAT. The Committee believes organizational relocation is the key to improvement of Navy ADP. Unless ADP is elevated in the com- mand hierarchy, and in terms of its importance in the Navy, there is little hope for success in further improvement endeavors. BETTER USE OF CENTRAL DESIGN ACTIVITIES-POTENTIAL FOR IMPROVED MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCE SAVINGS One of the mission objectives established for NAVDAC was to design, develop, implement and maintain standard, multi-activity and fleet non-tactical data systems, and to provide advice on the development of standard systems for Navy-wide use. The Investigative Staff found serious shortcomings in the Navy meeting the standardization objectives. Although clearly one of the goals which NAVDAC was to fulfill, after over four years the results are almost nonexistent. Although NAVDAC has recently begun to develop some "standard" systems at NARDAC San Diego, it is believed that there are insufficient resources and top level management attention devoted to the task. Also, it is doubtful that the systems would ever be truly implemented Navy-wide because Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 there is no official at the "top" who is likely to "champion" the standardization effort against expected resistance from those out- side the NAVDAC community. Standardization of application systems software would conserve many man-years of effort throughout the Navy. Although the major claimants through their Central Design activities (CDA's) have standardized systems within their functional areas, e.g., Uni- form Automated Data Processing Systems for Stock Points (supply), there has been practically no standardization of functional systems across command lines, e.g., personnel or accounting systems. Some 50 functional applications have been identified as having the poten- tial for systems development where the system could be imple- mented at Naval bases and stations throughout the Navy. Yet, at this time, there is no CDA established for the development of these "common" Navy systems. As a result, many systems which could be common to many Naval activities are being replicated through- out the Navy and wasting ADP personnel resources in the process. If one CDA were responsible for development and maintenance of systems which are implementable across Navy lines, many man- years of effort could be eliminated at Naval activities throughout the world. This is a most fruitful area for improvement and one in which NAVDAC has not achieved measurable success. Another problem regarding standard systems relates to those .developed by NAVMAT's systems command CDA's for operation at the NARDAC's, or in some cases, at their own data processing installations. In this instance, systems which are supposedly stand- ard for all activities of the command or functional area (e.g., supply) actually require the development of many "local unique" programs (programs used only at one installation) to meet local needs. A survey taken by NARDAC Jacksonville indicated that over 200 local unique systems had been developed and are being maintained by the NARDAC's alone, over and above the systems developed by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Naval Supply Systems Command's (NAVSUP) CDA's for their users. The Investigative Staff estimated that well over 50 percent of the NARDAC's systems and programming efforts are devoted to programming and maintenance of local unique systems to supple- ment NAVAIR and NAVSUP systems. The Committee believes that to preclude this waste of manpower there needs to be greater control exercised over the development of local unique systems, and secondly, a better understanding by the command CDA's of local (activity level) needs to preclude the need for the development of most local uniques. Until the Navy is able to bring these two factors under control, particularly within } NAVSUP and NAVAIR, the NARDAC's will be saddled with a workload of questionable value, while consuming personnel re- sources needed in other areas. AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING SELECTION OFFICE (ADPSO)-A CHANGE Is NEEDED ADPSO, as a subordinate office of NAVDAC, is responsible for the acquisition of computer hardware, software and services. ADPSO predates NAVDAC by some 10 years, although as a staff Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000I00040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 function of the Navy Secretariat and later CNO, its responsibilities were limited to hardware acquisitions. There has been considerable controversy regarding ADPSO and its effectiveness, personnel capabilities, organizational location, etc. The Investigative Staff found morale to be poor and considerable dissension in the organization. ADPSO personnel feel that there is inordinate pressure from NAVDAC to bring about actions which ADPSO personnel believe are counter to their best judgment. Es- sentially, they feel their prerogative of making objective decisions has been preempted. Also, contributing to low morale is the inter- nal organization of ADPSO with its two major functions, procure- ment and technical (ADP). Both groups feel their function is pre- dominate in the acquisition process. Consequently, little "meeting of the minds" exists, and, therefore, the ability to work in harmony on a given task is impeded. A second major problem is that communication between ADPSO, and elements of NAVDAC headquarters is inadequate to allow both organizations to do the best job in behalf of the Navy organi- zations which require their services. ADPSO is also performing work that might be more appropriate- ly done elsewhere. Contract administration consumes an inordinate amount. of personnel resources in an organization whose principal reason for being is ADP acquistion. At one point during the investi- gation, there were 164 contracts valued at $833 million being ad- ministered, consuming about 80 percent of the procurement person- nel resources. The Committee believes a hard look needs to be taken at ADPSO, how it is organized, to whom it should report, etc. It is believed that a more productive arrangement would be to merge ADPSO with NAVDAC headquarters Code 10 functions of review and approval of claimant ADPSO requests. The Investigative Staff suggested that internally, the organization might best be struc- tured on a team basis whereby each team becomes totally knowl- edgeable of a major claimant's functions and needs and therefore able to reduce the time necessary for review and acquisition. NARDAC's-AN IMPERFECT SOLUTION The NARDAC's represent a concept that may have been over- taken by time and technology, i.e, the centralization of data proc- essing into large service center organizations. Although this con- cept was an acceptable approach some 10 years ago, some modifica- tion to the basic idea as exemplified by the present NARDAC's may be desirable. NAVDAC as the parent command has expended a great deal of effort on the NARDAC's. This is undoubtedly a part of the reason that NAVDAC has had relatively little effect on the Navy as a whole. It was estimated that over 80 percent of NAVDAC's Code 30, 40, and 50 effort is geared to coordination and management of the NARDAC's. The Investigative Staff found considerable dissatisfaction with the service provided to its customers by the NARDAC's although some said improvements had occurred over time. The service prob- lems and the causes cited were numerous, including hardware failure and inadequate capacity for the workload. Other problems Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 such as inadequate management attention to user problems reflect- ed poorly on the NARDAC's. The general feeling of dissatisfaction on the part of NARDAC customers had led to some aberration of the NARDAC concept including the purchase of service elsewhere, and the establishment, by NAVAIR, of small computer facilities within its depot mainte- nance facilities which do some information processing over and above the service already provided by the NARDAC's. It is believed that an improvement to the NARDAC situation can be brought out through one of several initiatives which include reorienting the NARDAC's as service centers for processing stand- ard systems. Another would be to return the NARDAC's to the major user of ADP services where each is currently located. Suffice it to say, that there are a number of issues to be addressed regard- ing the NARDAC's which could range anywhere from maintaining the status quo (temporarily at least) to essentially doing away with them as currently structured. In actuality, a more appropriate solution will probably represent a number of practical accommoda- tions. One accommodation would be to permit major users to have a single, small or medium scale computer devoted to its processing needs regardless of whether it is user or NARDAC operated. This would preclude chaotic disruptions when large multiple user com- puters are phased out. The Naval Audit Service in a Special Review numbered S30628 dated May 23, 1980, has also recommended that NAVDAC reevalu- ate reliance on multiprogramming and large centralized computer systems, and where appropriate, decentralize work to central site 4 or customer-operated minicomputers. A similar finding is contained in a regular audit (A31059, dated Feburary 26, 1981) of NAVDAC operations. DECENTRALIZED CENTRAL DESIGN ACTIVITIES-A CONTINUING NEED An important question in Navy ADP at this time is the role of central design activities-should they continue to exist with their present organizational and functional relationships; or shoud they be subordinate to a single organization such as NAVDAC. At pres- ent each CDA provides the systems and programming support for its parent (functional) command, e.g., Naval Sea Systems Com- mand. The Investigative Staff concluded that command CDA's such as the Chief of Naval Education and Training's (CNET) CDA, the Management Information and Instructional Systems Activity (MIISA), and NAVSUP's Fleet Material Support Office (FMSO) should remain under the control of the functional Command. There appears to be no substantive reason for doing otherwise, and more importantly, with the CDA under the parent command, responsive- ness to the function being served is more likely to be achieved if for no other reason than it is directly in the user's chain of com- mand. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS, NAVDAC/NARDAC In view of the fact that NAVDAC was established to correct a number of long standing deficiencies in Navy ADP and has been unable to do so, more decisive action appears necessary. The fact that the Surveys and Investigations Staff found conclu- sively that NAVDAC has been unable to gain control of, and effectively direct and manage ADP in the Navy after more than four years indicates that the Navy must alter its views on how it will manage this resource which relates so strongly to the efficient management and control of other Navy assets and functions. The Committee believes the recommendations in the April 1981 report of its Surveys and Investigations Staff entitled, "Effective- ness and Operations of the Naval Data Automation Command" to be reasonable and well-founded and that they merit most serious consideration as a means of improving the Navy ADP program. This is particularly true regarding the relocation of various func- tions of ADP management at a higher level within CNO as this appears to be the keystone to the acceptance of other actions throughout the Navy. The Committee, therefore, directs the Secretary of the Navy to evaluate the recommendations contained in the April 1981 report, and to report back to the Committee by March 30, 1982, on its action to implement the policies and recommendations contained therein, or, as to the reasons why the recommended action has not been taken. Under the circumstances, the Committee sees no need to increase the level of funding provided NAVDAC/NARDAC's in FY 1982, and recommends that the $9.1 million budgeted for "pro- gram growth" be deleted. The Committee also recommends, pend- ing further justification from the Navy, that the existing customer payback or charge-back system be retained. This will require that $6.5 million currently budgeted in the NARDAC "line" be reallo- cated to the user organization. Finally, the Committee directs that 40 to 50 positions assigned to NAVDAC code 30, 40, and 50 be financed via the NARDAC charge-back system since their duties are primarily related to NARDAC operation and use of a charge- back procedure as required by OMB Circular A-121. WASHINGTON NAVY YARD Over the past several years the Appropriations Committee (in- cluding both the Military Construction and Defense Subcommit- has been concerned over the growing amount of leased space tees) used by the Navy in the greater Washington, D.C. area. One option which has been proposed to reduce the requirement for leasing is to convert vacant and unused space at the Washington Navy Yard. The Navy has testified that over 720,000 square feet of existing industrial type facilities in the Navy Yard could be rennovated and used as administrative space. The Committee encourages this ap- proach especially in view of the exorbitant reimbursements re- quired by the General Services Administration. NAVY HEADQUARTERS ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMS The Secretary of the Navy staff support offices have requested an increase of $600,000 for what sounds like an overly ambitious Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 program to tie together all Navy headquarters administrative sys- tems into one large interactive system. While the Committee fully supports the increase in productivity that is possible with advances in word processing, the Navy request states the new system will be used for appointment scheduling, "to do" lists, calendars, directo- ries, calculators, etc. The Navy has also suggested that this in- crease for state of the art administrative systems is necessary because "the Navy's office workers, principals, and their support staffs have become paper bound to the point that the movement of paper has set the pace for decision and policy making." The Com- mittee is deleting the full $600,000 requested and suggests that the Navy focus its efforts on reducing the paper work required to conduct its business. NAVY OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS The Navy is requesting an increase of $300,000 to support what is called Overeaters Anonymous. This additional funding is for conferences, - counselors, vans to transport personnel to meetings, pamphlets, media material, etc. In response to the Committee's inquiry the Navy stated that the current program has resulted in significant variation from one commanding officer to another as to the time and attention devoted to physical conditioning and fitness. As a result of this lack of uniformity the Navy has budgeted a total of $500,000 in fiscal year 1982 for this Overeaters Anonymous effort where weight loss will be done through "positive control" of the individuals at all times. The Committee questions the wisdom of spending half a million dollars in fiscal year 1982 on this effort and suggests the Navy concentrate instead on proper command emphasis of physical conditioning and fitness. A reduction of $500,000 is therefore included in the budget request. CIVILIAN "SCARCE SKILLS" SURVEY The Navy is requesting $100,000 to collect information on the benefits offered by the private sector for "scarce skill" civilian employees. The Committee believes that there is no requirement for this funding since such information is available from the De- partment of Labor and the Office of Personnel Management. Fur- thermore, the Navy is not in a position to offer "improved benefits and changes to the leave system" as stated because civil servants in DoD are necessarily bound by the same rules and regulations that apply government wide to civil service. The Committee is therefore deleting the entire $100,000. NAVY SEVERANCE PAY Last year the justification material provided by the Navy indicat- ed that a one time increase in fiscal year 1981 of $1.5 million was required for severance pay. The fiscal year 1982 request reflects no such offsetting reduction. Therefore, the Committee is recommend- ing deletion of the entire $1.5 million. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 MANPOWER STANDARDS TRAVEL AND MOVE The Navy Manpower and Material Analysis Center (NAVM- MAC) is charged with the responsibility of developing shore Navy manpower standards. Although the Committee continues to urge the Navy to expedite this process, the current budget request ap- pears to be overstated. For example, the request reflects an aver- It age cost for travel and per diem of $2,000 per employee per week for travel outside the continental United States and $420 per em- ployee per week inside the continental United States. The Navy has also requested an increase of $1 million to move the entire .0 NAVMMAC to new quarters because of an increase of only 22 personnel. The Committee believes that this move is unnecessary since the 22 personnel are temporary only for the period of devel- oping the additional standards. A total reduction is therefore rec- ommended of $1.5 million.

These increases are offset by decreases of $6.0 million for logistics support activities, $32.0 mil- lion related to the fuel price adjustment. Other reductions include: $350,000 for audio visual activities, $2.7 million because projects which were at one time deferred in 1981 to finance the pay raise did not have to be deferred, $1.5 million related to OSHA/EPA requirements, $3.2 million primarily related to the takeover of Rickenbacher Air Force Base, and a reduction of $3.4 million for camouflage nets because they cannot be produced by FY 1982. TRAINING AND READINESS, AIR NATIONAL GUARD The bill as reported by the Committee includes certain adjust- ments to improve the readiness of the Air National Guard. Includ- ed in this category is $7.6 million to modify the J-79 engine used on Guard F-4 aircraft so that this engine will no longer leave a visible smoke trail. Another $30.4 million has been added to the Other Procurement, Air Force appropriation to buy communica- tions equipment for Air National Guard units supporting the Rapid Deployment Force. Finally, $10.0 million was added to the bill for purchase of war reserve spares for high priority Air Guard units. It was also necessary to delete the request of $3.4 million of camou- flage nets because of a production backlog. During the September amendment the Army found it necessary to delete $16.9 million of the $53.1 million requested for camouflage screens because availa- bile production capacity could not provide all of the camouflage nets budgeted for FY 1982.

This amount is an increase of $401,000 from the budget estimate of $444,000. The amount recommended herein for fiscal year 1982 is the same as made available for fiscal year 1981. Pay raise costs are not included in the fiscal year 1982 estimate.

This amount is a decrease of $39,800,000 from the budget estimate of $195,500,000. The amount recommended herein for fiscal year 1982 is an increase of $13,850,000 over the fiscal year 1981 appro- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 priation of $141,850,000. Earlier this year, the Department of De- fense requested in the fiscal year 1981 supplemental the amount of $41,000,000 to be paid to the Federal Republic of Germany for maneuver damages. The conferees on the fiscal year 1981 Supple- mental appropriation did not approve any funds for maneuver damage claims due to the Department of Defense's failure to un- dertake negotiations with the NATO allies concerning peacetime host nations support and related status of forces matters. The fiscal year 1982 revised request for Claims shows that the Department of the Army portion of the request is $129,995,000. Fifty-three percent of the request, or $69.1 million, is being used to pay maneuver damage claims in the Federal Republic of Germany. The Committee is recommending an appropriation of $29,300,000 of the $69.1 million being requested for maneuver damages. The $29,300,000 being recommended for appropriation is a 15 percent increase to the 1980 base of $25,468,000 to cover inflation. The fiscal year 1981 program hasn't been finalized. In past years, the Committee has conducted hearings concerning claims, particularly damage claims. In the report accompanying the Defense Appropriation Bill for fiscal year 1980, the Committee suggested that the time had arrived for the Administration to start renegotiating claim procedures with foreign governments, particu- larly the Federal Republic of Germany. These agreements were written in 1951, when, of course, the dollar was a lot stronger versus the foreign currencies and the Federal Republic of Germany was not the economic power it is today. In the fiscal year 1981 Defense Bill, the Congress deleted from the requested $146.8 mil- lion a total of $21.9 million to pay for maneuver damage claims incurred by U.S. forces in the Federal Republic of Germany. This continued the Committee's policy of withholding maneuver damage claims in order to obtain some leverage in negotiating revised host nation support agreements for real property maintenance and troop support in Germany. The recommended reduction of $39.8 million in the fiscal year 1982 request is made for the same rea- sons. To date, these reductions have not had an impact on local gov- ernment jurisdictions in West Germany where most of the pay- ments eventually go, because the FRG has continued to pay the claims pending receipt from the U.S. The shortfall in funds has also not been as large as expected because of the dollars' strength versus the mark during the past year. COURT OF MILITARY APPEALS, DEFENSE Appropriations, fiscal year 1981 ........................................................................ $2,310,000 Estimate, fiscal year 1982 ................................................................................... 2,607,000 Recommended in the bill .................................................................................... 2,607,000 The Committee recommends.an appropriation of $2,607,000 for the Court of Military Appeals. The amount appropriated for fiscal year 1981 to date is $2,310,000. The amount recommended herein for fiscal year 1982 is an increase of $297,000 over the prior year. Pay raise costs are not included in the fiscal year 1982 estimate.

The objective of this assignment was to coordinate the ammunition programs of all the services, and improve efficiency and effectiveness. The Single Manager program was to be implemented in two phases. The second phase was to begin in October 1979, but as of the present time no Phase II directive has been issued. The objec- tive of Phase II is to strengthen the organization so that further economies and efficiencies may be achieved. The General Account- ing Office issued a report in November, 1979 suggesting numerous approaches to strengthening the Single Manager program. The Committee has been exhorting the Department of Defense for three years to move quickly and aggressively to implement Phase II. Yet, our hearings reveal that all efforts to move forward seem to be characterized by bureaucratic infighting and rivalry between ele- ments of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), between OSD and the services, and among the services themselves. Last year, Department witnesses testified that a Phase II directive would be issued by September, 1980. On July 14 of this year, the Committee was told that a Phase II directive was in the final review process and was working its way to the Secretary of Defense for signature. Yet the directive has still not been issued. After years of delay, the Committee's patience has come to an end. For this reason, the Committee has included a provision in the bill which requires that operation of the Single Manager program shall be only under a reissued Department of Defense directive for Phase II after January 1, 1982. THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF CONVENTIONAL AMMUNITION The fiscal year 1982 budget proposed significant increases for the procurement of ammunition. The Air Force budget goes from $344 million to $1.1 billion, the Marine Corps goes from $81 million to $326 million, and the Army goes from $1.6 billion to $2.3 billion. The Committee supports these efforts to enhance our ammunition asset posture and has made only small adjustments to the budget in fiscal year 1982. But the procurement of new ammunition items is only a part of what needs to be done to enhance our ammunition readiness. We also need to assure that ammunition which is in the inventory is properly accounted for and maintained. At the request of this Committee, the General Accounting Office has been review- ing various aspects of the care and maintenance of conventional ammunition by the Department of Defense. The Committee used preliminary results of this review in hearings this year. Based on these hearings, it is clear that added attention needs to be given by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, as well as the services, to this aspect of the ammunition program. For example: -There are about 500,000 short tons of ammunition which are considered unserviceable, about 25 percent of the entire inven- tory. -The program under which the Army budgets for the care and maintenance of ammunition has only been about 30 percent funded in the past. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 -A round a ammunition which we are currently buying at a cost of about $100 million per year has been suspended from use because manufacturing defects have caused premature det- onations. Additional manufacturing inspections will add 13 percent to the cost. The cost of inspecting and reworking the current stockpile of 1.1 million rounds will exceed $20 million. -The Army consistently miscodes the condition of its ammuni- tion inventory so that the number of rounds requiring major rennovation or rework is significantly understated. -Long delays-amounting to several years-occur between the time that ammunition is declared for disposal and it is actually disposed. Navy ammunition awaiting disposal occupies 2.5 mil- lion square feet of storage space which could be used for other purposes. The budget for demilitarization and disposal of am- munition has been consistently underfunded. -At a time when we are sending more ammunition to Europe for war reserves, many storage facilities are deteriorating and inadequate. There are also inadequate facilities in Europe for renovating and reworking defective ammunition. Efforts to redress the inattention of the past appear to be ade- quately funded in fiscal year 1982. The Committee believes that budgeted funds for care and maintenance of ammunition should not be drained off during the year to fund other programs. In addition, the Department of Defense should be prepared to demon- strate to the Committee that these programs are fully funded in fiscal year 1983 and future years. MULTIYEAR CONTRACTING BACKGROUND What is Multiyear Contracting? Multiyear contracting (MYC) is a management device that has potential for saving money and for improving the defense industri- al base. The following sources have been cited for achieving lower unit costs compared to annual contracting: 1) improved economies and efficiencies in the production process, 2) economy-of-scale lot buying, 3) decreased financial costs of borrowing, 4) better utiliza- tion of industrial facilities, and 5) reduction in the burden of plac- ing and administering contracts. MYC also offers opportunities to enhance the industrial base through the often intangible benefits of firm long term planning. It clearly offers opportunities to shore up the defense industrial base by attracting subcontractors, ven- dors, and small suppliers, who under current procurement prac- tices are leaving the defense field. Full Funding is a Separate Issue From MYC This year has seen an unfortunate confusion between MYC and the full funding policy. Full funding is a separate issue from MYC. MYC is under consideration now becasue it was virtually "limita- tioned" out of existence ten years ago after some glaring failures. Full funding is a fundamental government financing policy that has been proven since the early 1950's. OMB Circular A-11 pro- vides that requests for major procurement and construction will provide for full funding of the entire cost. Exceptions to that provi- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 sion must be submitted to OMB in writing and be approved in writing. In fiscal year 1979 the Executive sought to expand applica- tion of the full funding principal through the Federal Government. Department of Defense witnesses testified before Congress at that time supporting the President's proposal with a record of positive experience with full-funding in the Department of Defense. Under the circumstances any movement from the full funding policy should involve a full review by both the Executive and the Congress, something that has not been proposed to the Committee. Especially with regard to-the MYC the Committee continues to follow the full funding policy. One Congress Should Not Bind Another. MYC itself passes on to future Congresses the responsibility to complete funding to the conclusion of a MYC in order to achieve the anticipated savings- costs are pushed forward to the early years of MYC, so that savings are not accrued till the last stages of the contract. It would be unfair and unwise to pass on to a future Congress, in addition, the responsibility to pay for end items which an earlier Congress deter- mined were necessary for national security. Incremental funding of MYC would do just that. Full Funding Adds Discipline to Congressional Decision Making. Incremental funding would permit massive future year program funding commitments with no additional cost in the budget year. Some of the funding proposals made in connection with MYC even failed to match budget year commitments. Full funding keeps disci- pline in the process by requiring funding up front at least to match the real level of commitment for the budget year. Appropriations recommended by the Committee for MYC cover the costs of end items ordered for fiscal year 1982 plus the termination liability of advanced procurement purchases. Reporting requirements for the MYC justification materials discussed later in this section will assist congressional decision making on MYC by providing better information on the true magnitude of future year commitments. Full Funding Enhances the Benefits of Multiyear Contracting to the Industrial Base. Incremental funding would cause contractors some uncertainty about the likelihood of the government following through on its "commitments" into future years. In this sense incremental funding would strike at the most attractive quality of MYC for strengthening the industrial base-and that is its promise of stability for selected programs. Full funding nails down the Federal commitment clearly, ensuring better program stability and a healthier industrial base. Proposals to Expand Use of Multiyear Contracting During the early Spring of 1981 a review of the Department of Defense acquisition policies resulted in thirty-one recommended changes in procurement policies and practices. On May 1 the Deputy Secretary of Defense issued a policy memorandum to imple- ment one of these recommendations, the expanded use of multiyear contracting for supplies and services in general, and to initiate its use for major weapons systems. The Fiscal Year 1982 Defense Authorization Bill contains provisions that will facilitate the imple- mentation of the Secretary's policy. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Department according to its testimony expects the first really significant uses of MYC in connection with the fiscal year 1983 budget. It intends to integrate MYC into the normal planning and budgetary process and submit candidates for MYC to Congress in the normal budget request channels. For the near term the Department announced it would handle MYC candidates on an exception basis. The Chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, in an August 5, 1981 letter to the Secretary of Defense, noting the importance of the pending proposals for MYC and the rapidly approaching start of the new fiscal year, urged the Department to make its selections and submit them to the Committee with com- plete justifications to facilitate a formal hearing on the subject. On August 27 the Secretary replied that final proposals would be submitted to the Committee shortly. The Committee conducted its last hearing on the Fiscal Year 1982 Budget on October 7, 1981 and began preparation for mark-up. The third formal version of the Defense "September" Budget Revision and the justifications for the MYC proposals were delivered to the Committee on October 9, 1981. The Committee expects a far more systematic approach to MYC in the fiscal year 1983 budget cycle. The MYC candidates should be incorporated in the President's budget proposal for fiscal year 1983, and MYC justification materials should be delivered to the Com- mittee concurrently with other procurement justification materials. THE COMMITTEE URGES CAREFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF MULTIYEAR CONTRACTING Nothing is automatic about projected savings by whatever means and the defense industrial base will be improved only if multiyear contracts are administered with that purpose. Especially as MYC applies to major weapons systems, the risks of losing anticipated savings due to bad estimating, and the real costs due to the long term loss of flexibility for defense planners implied by the system, are as real as the possible benefits. On balance the Committee concurs with the Department's assessment of these positive and negative factors and encourages the Department to move ahead with its proposed expansion of MYC. The Committee, however, urges careful planning and caution especially in the early stages of the implementation of MYC, especially as it applies to major weap- ons systems. Some of the reasons for exercising caution are as follows: Savings Are Not Automatic The costs of multiyear contracts are generally relatively higher in the early stages because anticipated savings frequently result from economic order purchases made at that time. Savings general- ly do not accrue until the later stages of the contract as end items are finally delivered. Substantial savings that might be associated with a particular MYC then would generally be dependent on its successful conclusion through all the years for which it was origi- nally made. Put another way, cancellation of a MYC half way through its planned duration could easily result in increased costs rather than Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 savings. Further, savings or cost avoidances. associated with MYC are based on estimates of program costs in future years. The insti- tutional capability of accurately projecting such costs in the past has been notoriously lacking. Achievement of the projected savings now associated with MYC will require that these estimates be accurate. Benefits of Multiyear Contracting Have Their Own Price Tag-Loss of Flexibility and Greater Instability for Remaining Discretion- (try Defense Programs MYC necessarily will reduce the flexibility of defense planners and Congress to capitalize on changing technologies, to accommo- date understated estimates of inflation in future years, to meet changing military threats, and to meet future requirements for deficit reduction in any administration. Routine additions of tech- nological advancements determined necessary for the improvement of defense capabilities, which now are routinely made, must be measured under MYC against the loss in anticipated savings associ- ated with the contract that would be acceptable under the circum- stances. The time honored method of handling understated inflation rates for future years will have to change. The current practice is to include a lower number of purchases at higher prices in the budget request. Under MYC however, the number of items commited to in the contract would be constant. The extra dollars necessary to make up the understated inflation rates projected in earlier years would have to be taken from other systems also included in the overall five year plan. Overall the discretionary defense dollar grows smaller as MYC commitments rise. The effect of this phenomenon on program sta- bility, an important criteria for selecting candidates for MYC, is ironic. Placing certain programs under-MYC itself has the effect of stabilizing those programs. Instability for the remaining discretion- ary defense programs, however, must rise by the same degree. For the overall Federal budget about three-quarters of the out- lays for any given year are mandated under law and can be changed only with great difficulty. Over half of this discretionary money remaining now goes for defense. MYC has the effect of increasing the relatively uncontrollable portion of the budget and making more difficult short term overall budget retrenchment ef- forts by any administration for whatever purpose. Experience With Multiyear Contracting for Major Weapons Systems Is Lacking There has been some experience with MYC for relatively small procurements of standard items and services for which unit price savings have been realized. But when it comes to major weapons systems recent experience has been limited to recommendations by various commissions and institutions-in fact there has been no real experience over the last decade with multiyear contracts for procurement of major weapons systems. In the early 1970's such experience as there was with longer range contracts for major weapons systems had such bad results that Congress placed a $5 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 million cancellation ceiling on MYC-which in effect, prevented its use for major weapons systems. The Committee notes the General Accounting Office distinction that the proposed MYC as it applies to major weapons systems is a totally different type of multiyear planning and contracting, and that savings will only result from sophisticated planning and im- plementation of such plans with skill. Its successful implementa- tion involves resolution of management problems as much as it does contracting techniques. The Committee urges that the new type of MYC initiative be implemented carefully so that once again the government is not faced with a credibility problem in defense spending and once again loses the use of a promising management tool.

Total ................................................................... 2,653.8 (380.2) 2,467.0 (254.2) -186.8 The budget proposed to initiate four MYC in FY 1982. The total request for these programs was $2,653.8 million which included a total of $380.2 million to initiate the MYC. For the F-16 aircraft the budget proposed $1,878.4 million, of which $249.2 million was added to the original budget request to initiate a four year contract for 480 units with an estimated cost avoidance of $246 million. For the Black Hawk helicopter the budget proposed $671.2 million, of which $126 million was included over the original budget request to initiate a three year contract for 276 units with an estimated cost avoidance of $65.9 million. For the C-2A aircraft the budget proposed $37.0 million, of which $5.0 million was included over the original budget request to initiate a five year contract for 39 units with an estimated cost avoidance of $58.4 million. For the AN/ TRC-170 Troposcatter Radio and related support the budget pro- posed $67.2 million for the purchase of 110 units under a four year contract, with an estimated cost avoidance of $18.7 million. No additional funds were necessary to implement the MYC. In all cases the estimated cost avoidance was based on comparisons with purchases OF annual basis of the same number of units as the MYC and over the same period of years as the MYC. In all cases the Department used inflation adjustments in the out years consist- ent with those provided by the Office of Management and Budget. The Committee recommends a total of $2,467.0 million for these programs, reflecting the following adjustments. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Black Hawk Helicopter The Committee recommends $545.2 million for the Black Hawk, $484.6 million for end item procurement and $60.6 million for advanced procurement, a deletion of $126 million requested to initi- ate the MYC for Black Hawk procurement. This action conforms with the FY 1982 authorization conference levels for the Black Hawk. The Committee notes, however, that the funding history for the Black Hawk has been turbulent, principally due to a record of significantly understated unit cost estimates. Based on its five year production record the Black Hawk would not appear to meet two of the criteria established for selecting MYC candidates, Stability of Funding, and Confidence in Cost Estimates. The production schedule for the Black Hawk is scheduled to run for a number of years, however, leaving ample opportunity to implement a MYC in a future year if additional production experi- ence proves to be positive. F-16 Aircraft The Committee recommends $1,817.6 million for procurement of F-16 aircraft under a multiyear contract, $1,270.8 million for end item procurement and $546.8 million for advanced procurement. The Committee's recommendation is consistent with authorized levels for FY 1982, but it is a reduction in the budget request of $60.8 million. It is assumed by both the authorizing legislation and the Committee recommendation that a proposed FY 1982 rescission of funds appropriated in FY 1981 for the F-16 will not be enacted, and that these funds will be used to entirely off-set. the $60.8 million reduction in new budget authority. TRC-170 Radio The Committee recommends $67.2 million for procurement of the TRC-170 radio under MYC. This amount approves the budget re- quest, but includes an additional $3.5 million for related support that the Department indicates is necessary for the radio to be mission capable. Explanation of Bill Language on Multiyear Contracting The Committee earmarks mission capable cost amounts in each relevant appropriation account to cover those programs for which purchases are to be made in part by MYC. This language has two purposes. First, it is intended to prevent the use of funds appropri- ated for the purpose of initiating a MYC for any other use except 40- by transfer action in an appropriation act. The "up front" money associated with MYC will become relatively large over the years- the Department requested close to $400 million for this purpose for FY 1982. It is important to establish that failure to., conclude a MYC or delays in its conclusion cannot result ! ';vindfall of funds available to the Department for other purposes. The second purpose is to ensure that deficit reduction and other budget pres- sures do not impinge on the long range commitments made under the MYC. MYC commitments must be insulated, from the annual scramble for budget year funds, because the savings from MYC do not occur Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 till the last stages of the contract. Subjecting ongoing MYC com- mitments to the annual budget pressures would therefore defeat a major purpose of this management initiative, and that is to achieve budget savings. The Committee also includes general provision language that emphasizes the need for full involvement of the Congress to initiate a MYC for procurement of a major weapons system. This bill language applies only to major weapons systems, and not to MYC for general operations and maintenance. A "major procurement program" for the purpose of this section means a program desig- nated "major" in the major systems list for the Defense System Acquisition Review Council as maintained by the Executive Secre- tary of that Council, or a program which breaches the cancellation ceiling provisions of S-815, the Defense Authorization Act of 1982. Justification Materials for Multiyear Contracting The Department listed the following criteria in its justification materials for selecting MYC candidates: Benefit to the Government; Stability of Requirement; Stability of Funding; Stable configuration; Degree of Cost Confidence; Degree of Contractor Capability. The Committee feels that these materials can be improved for its use in, at least, the following ways. First, the materials submitted made no reference at all to the defense industrial base. The Com- mittee directs that a full presentation of the benefits that will accrue to the government be fully addressed, especially as they affect vendors, small suppliers, and subcontractors, by all accounts the weakest link in the defense industrial base. These materials should address efforts made to enhance competition through dual sourcing and other means. The record should also show how con- tractors have improved production facilities or instituted training programs for short supply, highly skilled trades, and the extent to which the prime contractor will flow down to subcontractors the benefits of MYC, such as timing of progress payments. A once a year snapshot of the total levels of future year com- mitments under MYC is also needed. The following table indicates how misleading the increased budget year costs necessary to initi- ate a MYC are as a measure of the total future year commitment implied by MYC. FUTURE YEAR COMMITMENT [In millions of dollars] Fiscal year Span of MYC 1982 bud et Total MYC (years) request or request MYC F-16 ........................................................................................................ 4 249.2 2,938.0 7,778.0 Blackhawk ................................................................................................ 3 126.0 998.2 1,606.5 C-2A ........................................................................................................ 5 5.0 686.9 985.2 TRC-170 radio ......................................................................................... 4 ........................ 225.5 236.8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 To have such a complete picture of future year commitments implied by the MYC, the Committee directs that these materials include, at least, budget authority and outlays estimated by year for each candidate for the terms of the respective contracts, and in addition, the same information for whatever other procurement is necessary to make the item in question mission capable. The same information should be presented in an overall presentation for ongoing MYC for major weapons systems and for all other MYC proposed or ongoing at that time. The Committee is also concerned about the quality of cost and savings estimates used for the development of MYC materials. Use of 0MB inflation estimates generally results in understated future year costs. In the case of MYC this fact is particularly disturbing because these future year cost figures are not being built into budget plans or projections, but into contracts for procurement of specific numbers of units. Furthermore, it is used not only in the MYC itself, but for all the remaining procurement items that make it mission capable. The Committee therefore directs that the justifi- cation materials clearly display how changes by degree of 1% in inflation would impact the cost and savings estimates both for the MYC and for the items that would make it mission capable. The Committee also directs that a full statement of cost and savings estimating methodology be incorporated into the justification mate- rials. In this regard, some standardized indication of the source of cost avoidances is necessary, as well as an indication of the kind of contract on which the estimates are based. With regard to the criteria for selection the Committee directs that some explanation of the Department's evaluation of risk be presented. Merely ranking risk as "high, medium, or low" for these categories informs nobody of any merits of any candidate for MYC. The Committee intends with its special treatment of the successful MYC candidates in appropriations account language to ensure stable funding. It then must have information that justifies that level of commitment. Finally, the Committee directs that a draft outline of justification materials for MYC be submitted by the Department by the close of calendar year 1981.

The budget included no funding for this program. As noted earlier in this report, the Committee is concerned about the age and condition of equipment in the inventory of Army reserve components. Greater priority and attention needs to be given to bringing reserve component equipment up to Army stand- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ards. In this regard, the fixed wing aircraft inventory in the Army National Guard is in need of modernization. For this reason, the Committee directs that the additional C-12D aircraft funded in this bill be assigned to Army National Guard. AH-64 APACHE ADVANCED ATTACK HELICOPTER The Committee recommends $438.4 million for the AH-64 Apache Advanced Attack Helicopter, an increase of $73.4 million over the budget of $365.0 million. The total amount recommended is the amount. included in conference action on the authorization bill. AH-1S COBRA-TOW ATTACK HELICOPTER The Committee recommends $55 million for procurement of 12 AH-1S Cobra-Tow helicopters. These helicopters were not budgeted by the Army but were included in the final conference action on the authorization bill. Testimony before the Committee has shown that there is a shortage of attack helicopters in Army National Guard. It is the Committee's intention that the additional helicop- ters go to the Army National Guard. In addition, the recommenda- tion will assure an active production line for attack helicopters until the new Apache advanced attack helicopter reaches rate pro- duction sometime in 1984. The September amendments to the budget included an additional $126,000,000 to initiate multi-year procurement of the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter. The justification material to support this proposal has only recently been transmitted to the Committee. Based on an initial review of this material, it appears that many important questions are not answered. In addition, the Blackhawk program has had a history of procurement fluctuation and cost instability. It would appear prudent at this time to postpone multi- year procurement, without prejudice. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $126,000,000. This recommendation is consistent with authorization conference action and will not affect the total of 96 helicopters budgeted for procurement in fiscal year. 1982 and funded in the bill. Further comments on multiyear con- tracting appear earlier in this title of the report. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $2,700,000 in this appropriation to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equip- ment Transfer which is described earlier in this report. FOREIGN MILITARY SALES ADJUSTMENTS The Committee recommends a general reduction of $4,000,000 in this appropriation based on changes in the foreign military sales program. These changes are discussed earlier in this report.

In order to obtain some useful capabilities from the hard- ware funded to date, the Army has proposed to field that hardware in a configuration compatible with the RDF mission. The Commit- tee understands that the total cost of this effort will be $110,000,000, over two years. For funding this specific RDF-related purpose only, the Committee recommends providing $50,000,000 above the budget. STINGER The Army budgeted $223,900,000 for Stinger missile procure- ment. Army documentation provided to the Committee's Surveys and Investigations Staff shows that $31,800,000 of the sum was for the Passive Optical Seeker Technique (POST) version of the mis- sile. Development of Stinger POST has experienced technical diffi- culties, causing a 20 month slip in the schedule. This has precluded a production start in fiscal year 1982, and funds for that purpose can, therefore, be deferred. The Committee recommends a reduc- tion of $31,800,000 resulting in a recommended total for Stinger of $192,100,000.

The authorization conference agreement includes Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 $800,000,000 for this program. The Committee recommends a re- duction of $9,800,000. The Committee is concerned with the ability of the Army to fund its wide range of procurement programs within anticipated bud- gets. Therefore the Committee believes that we should continually review potential lower cost alternatives to fulfill critical Army 4 missions. An item of particular interest is the Fighting Vehicle System program. The program has experienced considerable cost growth. The Selected Acquisition Reports between June 1977 and June 1981 show a program cost increase from $1.3 billion to $11.8 billion. While the Committee recognizes the FVS is designed to fulfill critical Army missions, it notes that no cost effectiveness analysis of the program has been conducted since 1977, and no major field comparison of the FVS with potential options has ever been con- ducted. Therefore the Committee directs the Army to conduct side by side field tests of the FVS with a wide range of vehicles that could wholly or in conjunction with other systems perform the FVS mission. These systems should include the modified M113 as recom- mended by the Army Materiel Development and Readiness Com- mand, the Improved TOW vehicle, the AIFV and commercial light armored vehicles being developed by the Army and Marine Corps, as well as any other systems considered appropriate. These tests should focus on both performance and cost factors and consider limitations on any system performing more than one function si- multaneously. The Army _ will notify the Committee of its planned structure for the field test and provide test results in time for the Committee's deliberations on the fiscal year 1983 budget request. M88A1 RECOVERY VEHICLES The budget included $148,000,000 for procurement of 180 M88A1 recovery vehicles. The authorization conference action includes $123,700,000 for procurement of 150 vehicles. In conformance with this action, the Committee recommends an appropriation of $123,700,000, a reduction of $24,300,000. FIELD ARTILLERY AMMUNITION SUPPORT VEHICLE The budget included $4,000,000 for initial procurement of long lead items for the Field Artillery Ammunition Support Vehicle. The authorization conference agreement denies this request. The Committee, therefore, recommends a reduction of $4,000,000. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $5,400,000 in this appropriation to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equip- ment Transfer which is described earlier in this report. FOREIGN MILITARY SALES ADJUSTMENTS The Committee recommends a general reduction of $7,000,000 in this appropriation based on changes in the foreign military sales program. These changes are discussed earlier in this report. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 STANDARDIZATION OF HANDGUNS Since 1978, the Committee has been urging the Department of Defense to standardize handguns and handgun ammunition. A study by the Committee's Surveys and Investigations staff that year found that there were more than 25 different makes, models and types of handguns in the U.S. military inventories. The number of different types of ammunition is far greater. This prolif- eration causes many problems with regard to stocking of spare parts, maintenance of specifications for each weapon, training of handgun repair personnel and inventory control. After years of delay, the Department of Defense has now em- barked on a program to test and procure 9mm handguns and ammunition to be used as a standard for all services and the Coast Guard. Testing of candidate weapons is now under way and a source selection could be made as early as January, 1982. Procure- ment of the new standard handgun for the Department of Defense will begin in fiscal year 1983. The Committee, of course, desires that sufficient testing be con- ducted prior to source selection. It does not believe, however, that there should be any more unnecessary delays in moving forward with this program. In order to make the intentions of the Commit- tee and Congress quite clear, the Committee has inserted bill lan- guage in this appropriation which provides that $1,900,000 shall be available only for continuation of testing and evaluation of 9mm handguns without delay.

The Committee believes that most of these changes are short-sighted in light of our overall readiness posture and training requirements. The Commit- tee, therefore, recommends that the following items be restored to the level funded in the March amendment to the budget. 5.56 mm Cartridge, Blank... .......................... ...................................................... 7.62 mm Cartridge, All types .............................................................................. 25 mm Cartridge ................................................................................................. 4.2 inch, Ilium cartridge ...................................................................................... 105 mm Cartridge, HEAT-T ................................................................................. 105 mm Cartridge, TP-T ..................................................................................... 105 mm Cartridge, DS-TP .................................................................................. 105 mm Cartridge, APFSDS T ............................................................................. 155 mm Projectile, ADAM ................................................................................... 155 mm Projectile, RAAMS .................................................................................

The General Accounting Office found Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 the economic justification for this project to be questionable and the Army agreed with this finding. The Committee recommends an increase of $9,500,000 to cover increased cost estimates incurred in the construction of the Missis- sippi Army Ammunition Plant. When combined with the $10,500,000 in the budget, a total of $20,000,000 is included in the bill for this project. FIRST DESTINATION TRANSPORTATION (AMMUNITION) The Army included in the procurement of ammunition budget $37,800,000 for first destination transportation. This was done on the assumption that a stock fund would be established for ammuni- tion procurement in fiscal year 1982. With the creation of the Conventional Ammunition Working Capital Fund, funding for first destination transportation in the procurement appropriation is not appropriate. A reduction of $37,800,000 is therefore recommended in the procurement appropriation, as well as a partially offsetting increase of $25,000,000 in the operation and maintenance appropri- ation, where greater efficiency will prevail. ARMY GUARD AND EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $3,200,000 in this appropriation to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equip- ment Transfer which is described earlier in this report. OTHER PROCUREMENT, ARMY Appropriations, 1981 ................................................................................ $2,822,408,000 New obligational authority, 1982: Estimate .............................................................................................. 3,683,800,000 Recommended .................................................................................... 3,804,300,000 Increase ............................................................................................... 120,500,000 This appropriation finances the acquisition of. (a) tactical and commercial vehicles including trucks, semi-trailers, and trailers of all types to provide mobility and utility support to field forces and the worldwide logistical system; (b) communications and electronics equipment of all types to provide fixed, semifixed, and mobile strategic and tactical communications equipment; (c) other support equipment such as chemical defensive equipment, tactical bridging, shop sets, construction equipment, floating and rail equipment, generators and power units, material handling equipment, medical support equipment, special equipment for user testing, and nonsys- tem training devices. In each of these activities funds are also included for modification of in-service equipment, investment spares and repair parts, and production base support. PROGRAM RECOMMENDED The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the fol- lowing program for fiscal year 1982: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 FISCAL YEAR 1982 OTHER PROCUREMENT, ARMY Committee recommendation Tactical and Support Vehicles ............................................................ $1,029,300,000 $1,019,300,000 Communications and Electronics Equipment ....................................... 1,611,700,000 1,577,100,000 Other Support Equipment ......................................... ............:............. 1,046,800,000 1 077 600 000 Guard and Reserve Readiness Equipment ............................................................................. , , , 139,500,000 Army Guard and Reserve Equipment Transfer ...................................................................... -5 200 000 Reduction/Offsets, Inflation ................................................................ -4,000,000 , , -4,000,000 Total ..................................................................................... 3,683,800,000 3,804,300,000 -$10,000,000 -34,600,000 +30,800,000 +139,500,000 -5,200,000 ................................ + 120,500,000 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TACTICAL AND SUPPORT VEHICLES FIVE- AND TEN-TON TRUCKS A reduction of $10,000,000 in the $502,300,000 budgeted for pro- curement of five- and ten-ton trucks is recommended. Multiyear contracts for these vehicles were signed after the budget was for- mulated, yielding unit costs below those estimated. SPECIAL SECURITY VEHICLES The Committee has included a provision in the appropriation language which allows the procurement of no more than fourteen passenger carrying motor vehicles required for security of person- nel. The cost of these vehicles is limited to a ceiling of $100,000 each. The legislative provision is required because current law imposes lower limits on the unit cost of passenger carrying motor vehicles. COMMUNICATIONS AND ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT POSITION LOCATION REPORTING SYSTEM The Army budgeted $30,500,000 for the initial procurement of the Position Location Reporting System (PLRS), and $3,100,000 for initial spares. PLRS is a computer based system which provides near real time position location, identification, and navigation in- formation for personnel, aircraft, and vehicles. The Committee believes that this procurement is premature, and recommends denial of procurement funding for the following rea- sons: 1. There is still $35,400,000 in research and development to be accomplished between 1982 and 1984. 2. There was a six month slip in the start of testing with no change in the production contract award date or the initial operational capability. Instead, the development and operation- al testing program was compressed. 3. The required reliability for user units is 500 hours mean time between failure. The average that has been achieved in testing to date is 164. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 4. There are still some technical risks in the programs, such as ability to track 370 active users, time required to provide service to 370 users, performance in non-line-of-sight environ- ment, and performance in EW environment. 5. Major changes are proposed for PLRS, including the PLRS/JTIDS hybrid. This change is required to make the system interact with the multitude of other communications systems on the battlefield. In addition to the above points, the Committee notes that pro- curement cost estimates for this program have doubled since last year. The Army total is now estimated to be $246,000,000. A simi- lar amount is estimated for the Marine Corps. A Cost and Oper- ational Effectiveness Analysis in 1978-79 showed that the Global Positioning System (GPS), was a more cost effective position navi- gation candidate than PLRS. Another study showed PLRS to be slightly more cost effective, but it did not use the most recent cost estimates for PLRS. The Army and the Marine Corps should seriously re-consider the cost effectiveness of PLRS in light of the most recent cost increases and the potential for GPS to satisfy the requirement. The Committee recommends a reduction of $1,000,000 in the $5,300,000 budgeted for the Intelligence Data Handling System for reasons discussed in the classified annex to this report. NIGHT VISION IMAGE INTENSIFYING DEVICES In the Fiscal Year 1981 Department of Defense Appropriations Act (PL 96-527) Congress provided additional funds for the procure- ment of image intensifying night vision devices. This addition ex- pressed the deep concern of the Committee with the preserving of a crucial industrial capability necessary to improve and maintain a proper state of readiness. The Committee is now concerned that the Army has revised its night vision programs and has not placed a sufficient priority on these programs to provide enough funding in fiscal year 1983 and fiscal year 1984 programs to maintain the industrial base. In addition to a serious impact on prime tube and equipment manufacturers, this will also result in serious, perhaps irreversible, curtailment of the supply of essential electro-optical components. Some of the suppliers are small businesses unable to, withstand further volume reductions. These key vendors are few in number and their technology, in some cases, is unique in the free world. Once again, the Committee states to the Army that maintaining the industrial base in this crucial high technology area is vital to improved readiness and the country's ability to fight a convention- al war. Night vision devices provide a critical twenty-four hour fighting capability to the Army and the means of production must be maintained. STANDARD TELEPHONE UNIT II (STU II) The Committee directs that the funds requested for upgrading the AUTOSEVOCOM secure voice system be used instead to pro- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 cure Standard Telephone Unit II (STU II) secure telephones. The Committee has fully funded continued RDT&E of the STU IIM (Standard Telephone Unit II Modified). OTHER SUPPORT EQUIPMENT TRAILER MOUNTED FIELD KITCHENS The Army budgeted no funds for the procurement of mobile, trailer mounted field kitchens. The fiscal year 1981 supplemental included $2,800,000 for procurement of 200 units. The Army has long sought a rapidly deployable kitchen capability for field troops. The Army strongly supported this program when procurement was first budgeted in fiscal year 1978. But now with only a small portion of its total requirement procured, the support has dimin- ished. The Committee believes that this procurement should con- tinue in order to get maximum value out of a current production line and to enhance the readiness of our troops. An increase of $3,500,000 is recommended to procure 200 kitchens. The recommen- dation will fully fund the kitchen units, including the trailers which have previously been funded as advance procurement. LIGHTER, AIR CUSHION VEHICLE (LACV-30) The Army budgeted no funds for procurement of Lighter, Air Cushion Vehicle (LACV-30). Twelve LACV-30's have been funded to date, enough to complete the requirements for fielding one LACV-30 company. A recent Logistics-Over-The Shore (LOTS) review supported the requirement for a second LACV-30 company. The Committee recommends an increase of $27,300,000 for procure- ment of four LACV-30 craft. The recommendation will support the initial procurement for the second company. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $5,200,000 in this appropriation to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equip- ment Transfer which is described earlier in this report. GUARD AND RESERVE READINESS EQUIPMENT The Committee recommends an increase of $139,500,000 for equipment to enhance the readiness posture of Army reserve com- ponents. The explanation for this increase, and the criteria for the use of the recommended funding are found earlier in the report.

This represents a reduction of $12,000,000 from the budget request. F-14A FIGHTER AIRCRAFT (TOMCAT) The Committee recommends $180,600,000 for F-14 advance pro- curement to support the procurement of 27 F-14A aircraft in fiscal year 1983. This represents an increase of $21,500,000 to the budget request. F/A-18 FIGHTER/ATTACK AIRCRAFT (HORNET) The Navy requested $236,400,000 for F/A-18 advance procure- ment funds. The Navy's request anticipated a larger fiscal year 1983 procurement than was included in the President's Five-Year Defense Plan. The Committee, accordingly, recommends $189,200,000, which represents a reduction of $47,200,000 from the budget request. CH-53E HELICOPTER (SUPER STALLION) The Navy requested $270,600,000 for the procurement of 14 CH- 53E helicopters. The September budget amendment included a re- quest of $20,300,000 which was to be used primarily for support items. This request lacks adequate justification. Additionally, the budget request does not fully reflect the savings associated with major productivity improvements that are now being evidenced. Consequently, the Committee recommends $240,300,000 for 14 CH- 53E helicopters which represents a reduction of $30,300,000 from the budget request. SH-60B ANTISUBMARINE WARFARE HELICOPTER (SEAHAWK) . The Navy requested $585,600,000 for the procurement of 18 SH- 60B LAMPS MARK III helicopters. Since the budget i equest does not fully reflect major savings that will be realized from contractor productivity improvements, the Committee recommends Appro e tFov-I leastu 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061 OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 $558,600,000 for 18 SH-60B helicopters which represents a reduc= tion of $27,000,000 from the budget request. The Navy also requested $155.300,000 for SH-60B advance pro- curement. The Committee in reviewing both the Navy's and the Army's airframe advance procurement request found that the Army's advance procurement request for a similar airframe was substantially lower in unit cost. Accordingly, the Committee recom- mends $118,100,000 for SH-60B advance procurement which repre- sents a reduction of $37,200,000 from the budget request. In conformance with the fiscal year 1982 authorization confer- ence action, the Committee recommends $54,300,000 for P-3C ad- vance procurement. This represents a reduction of $30,000,000 from the budget request. The Committee is directing that the Department of the Navy begin a program of phased KC-130 procurements to complete the squadron at Glenview, Illinois and begin a second squadron which the Marine Corps has indicated would be placed at Stewart Air- field. The Committee directs the Marine Corps to work with the Air National Guard to insure maximum utilization of existing space, maximum utilization of shared space and to the extent possible minimum new construction costs which will be required in fiscal 1983 and 1984 at Steward. The Committee believes that the pro- curement of the KC-130's for the Marine Corps Reserves should be expedited. The Navy requested $71,000,000 for the F-14 TF30-P-414A engine modification program. This request would begin the initial .phase of a major engine modification program which is designed to improve long term service life, increase reliability/durability, and address stall reduction problems. The Navy, as a result of this modification effort, expected to derive significant savings in life cycle costs. The program, despite the fact that it is in the initial phase of procurement, has experienced dramatic cost increases. For example, the original program cost was estimated to be $568,000,000. The Navy has since advised the Committee that the current program costs are now estimated to be $850,000,000. Addi- tionally, the unit cost of the modification kit has doubled. Original- ly, the unit cost was estimated to be $300,000 as compared to the current estimate of $600,000. The Committee is now quite concerned that the Navy may embark on this very costly modification program, and then subse- quently decide that performance requirements for the F-14 will necessitate the reengining of this aircraft with the F-101 engine. Consequently, the Committee directs the Navy to delay the initi- ation of the TF-30-P-414A engine modification program, and pro- ceed with normal depot level overhaul to include installation of Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 long-life parts developed from previous engine modification efforts. With this additional time, the Navy should develop additional per- formance and cost analyses to determine a specific course of action to follow. A reduction if $71,000,000 is recommended. OTHER MODIFICATION PROGRAMS The following table reflects additional reductions which totals $33,200,000, to aircraft modification programs recommended by the Committee because of either schedule slippages or requirements for additional tests and evaluations. The Committee also notes that this account has frequently been used as a source of funds for reprogrammings, thus indicating that in the Navy's view, some modification programs are of marginal priority.

This program has recently experi- enced technical difficulties, leading to suspension of OPEVAL test- ing, and direction from the Secretary of the Navy to hold produc- tion rates to a lower level than previously planned. Since fewer missiles will be produced in fiscal year 1982, the Committee recom- mends a reduction of $20,000,000. The recommended total for AIM/ RIM-7 F/M Sparrow is $124,700,000. AIM-54 A/C PHOENIX The Navy requested $26,200,000 for advanced procurement of AIM-54 A/C Phoenix missile. The Committee finds this requests to be overstated by $5,200,000, and recommends a total of $21,000,000 for AIM-54 A/C Phoenix (Advanced Procurement). AGM-84A HARPOON The Navy, contrary to previous practice, budgeted advanced pro- curement funds for AGM-84A Harpoon in the amount of $18,000,000. Given a history of no requirement for advanced pro- curement for this missile, the Committee finds this request lacks adequate justification, and recommends no funds be provided for AGM-84A Harpoon (Advanced Procurement). Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Committee is concerned over the rising costs of the AGM- 84A Harpoon missile, and directs that a "Should Cost" study be conducted to determine whether economies can be effected in pro- curement. TORPEDOES AND RELATED EQUIPMENT The Navy requested $133,500,000 for MK-48 torpedoes. The Navy in formulating its budget request included $13,000,000 for accept- ance test and evaluation for fiscal years 1981 and 1982 MK-48 procurements. In light of the fact that these torpedoes will not be delivered during this fiscal year, the request is considered prema- ture. The Committee directs that funds for this purpose should be requested the fiscal year in which the torpedoes will be delivered. The Committee, therefore, recommends a total of $120,500,000 for 144 MK-48 torpedoes, which represents a decrease of $13,000,000 from the budget request. The Committee recommends $57,600,000 for 288 MK-46 Neartip torpedoes, based on the fact that the budget does not fully reflect the following: -Major productivity improvements have been evidenced to date. -The Navy intends to begin "super" proofing. -There will be reduced costs associated with the large volume procurement of both the MK-46 torpedoes and Neartip modifi- cation kits. The Committee recommendations represent a decrease of $7,400,000 from the budget request. MODIFICATION OF TORPEDOES AND RELATED EQUIPMENT The Navy requested $113,600,000 for 872 Neartip modification kits. Since the budget request does not fully reflect the improve- ments in productivity, use of super-proofing techniques, and sav- ings associated with large volume procurements, the Committee recommends $95,700,000 for 872 Neartip modification kits. This represents a reduction of $17,900,000 from the budget request. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $4,600,000 in this appropriation to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equip- ment Transfer which is described earlier in this report. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 214 CONSULTANTS, STUDIES AND ANALYSES The Committee recommends a reduction of $600,000 for Consult- ants, Studies and Analyses.

The September budget amendment reflected authorization action which deleted the full funding request for the tenth TRI- DENT while adding an additional increment of $100,000,000 for long lead funding. The Committee has strongly supported full fund- ing practices in the past and, therefore, recommends that the addi- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 tional increment of $100,000,000 be denied. Accordingly, the Com- mittee recommends $230,700,000 for TRIDENT advance procure- ment. The Navy requested $658,000,000 for CVN Aircraft Carrier ad- vance procurement. The budget request which included funds for both nuclear and non-nuclear long lead components was based on the full funding of CVN Aircraft Carrier in fiscal year 1983. Since the President's Five Year Defense Plan delayed the request for this aircraft carrier until fiscal year 1984, the Committee denies the funding request for non-nuclear components and directs that the funds for these components be requested in fiscal year 1983. There- fore, the Committee recommends $475,000,000 for CVN Aircraft Carrier advance procurement, which represents a reduction of $183,000,000 from the budget request. The Navy requested $100,800,000 for CV-SLEP advance procure- ment. Based upon historical first year obligations, the Committee recommends $81,000,000 for CV-SLEP advance procurement which represents a reduction of $19,800,000 from the budget request. The Navy requested $2,925,600,000 for the AEGIS Cruiser pro- gram. Included in this request is $17,000,000 for the SPS-49 radar system. Since the AEGIS SPY-1 radar system does not require the SPS-49 as a back-up system, the Committee denies the funds re- quested for this system. The Committee, therefore, recommends $2,908,600,000, which represents a reduction of $17,000,000 from the budget request. The Committee recommends $301,000,000 for an LSD-41. This represents an increase of $301,000,000 to the budget request. The budget did not request funds for this program. In conformance with the fiscal year 1982 authorization confer- ence action, the Committee denies funding advance procurement for the LSD-41. This reduction represents a decrease of $34,000,000 from the budget request. The Navy requested $747,900,000 for the FFG-7 Guided Missile Frigate program. Funds were included in the budget request to cover increased costs expected to be incurred in association with end of production for the FFG-7 class of ships. Since the Presi- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 dent's Five Year Defense Plan includes both FFG-7 and FFG var- iants, the Committee denies this portion of the request which totals $45,800,000. Additionally, the Committee recommends $224,000,000 for a third FFG-7. The Committee, therefore, recommends a total of $926,100,000, which represents an increase of $178,200,000 to the budget request. AUXILIARIES, CRAFT AND PRIOR YEAR PROGRAMS y} TALS (SEABEE BARGE CARRIER) In conformance with the fiscal year 1982 authorization confer- ence action, the Committee denies funding for the TALS Seabee Barge Carrier. This reduction represents a decrease of $54,000,000 from the budget request. The Navy requested $160,500,000 for Salvage Ships (ARS). In light of the fact that the budget request does not fully reflect the option prices set forth in the recently negotiated contract for the fiscal year 1981 funded salvage ship, the Committee recommends $135,500,000 for salvage ships. This represents a reduction of $25,000,000 from the budget request. The Navy requested $668,400,000 for the T-AKRX program. In conformance with the fiscal year 1982 authorization conference funding action, the Committee recommends $184,000,000 for this program. This reduced level of authorized funding will, of course, severely impact the timely attainment of a properly configured rapid logis- tic ship capability. The Committee is extremely concerned that the Department's continued delays in following this Committee's direc- tion not only fails to address the immediate requirements for rapid sealift, but now delays the overall conversion program. The Committee, accordingly, directs that the Navy, within the authorization funding limitation, proceed immediately, with the acquisition of the remaining two ships; the mini-modification of four T-AKRX ships (SL-7's), which would provide an interim fast logistic ship capability, and the partial roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) conversion of one ship. Any remaining funds are to be used for procuring long lead items future SL-7 conversions to the T-AKRX partial RO/RO con- figuration. To reiterate, the Committee is deeply concerned about the con- tinual delay in obtaining this vitally needed capability, and directs that the Navy proceed forthwith with the aforementioned direc- tion. The Committee's reduction reflects a decrease of $484,400,000 from the budget request. The Committee notes that unobligated fiscal year 1981 T-AKRX funds remain available and should be used to attain the Committee's directive. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Navy requested $42,400,000 for Service Craft. Included in this request is $8,700,000 for LCM Class Craft. The Committee denies that portion of the request relating to the LCM Class of Craft, in light of the Maritime Prepositioning Ship Program's schedule slippage. The Committee, therefore, recommends $33,700,000 for Service Craft, which represents a reduction of $8,700,000 from the budget request. The Navy requested $122,300,000 for Post Delivery. In light of the fact that the budget request does not fully reflect changes in shipbuilding delivery schedules, the Committee recommends $117,200,000 which represents a reduction of $5,100,000 from the budget request. The Navy requested $448,000,000 for cost growth. Included in the request was $40,000,000 to cover cost growth for a SSN-688 class submarine which has yet :to be awarded. The Committee believes the request is premature and thus recommends a total of $408,000,000 for cost growth which represents a reduction of $40,000,000 from the budget request. The Committee recommends a general reduction of $143,000,000 in the fiscal year 1982 request for program managers growth re- serves which is one of the primary elements comprising individual shipbuilding line item budget requests. The Committee's reduction is based upon both historical obligation experience and the Navy's current estimated obligation rate. The Committee directs that the Navy closely reexamine its request for growth reserves and allo- cate this redubtion to budget lines where past experience has shown these requests to be overstated. The Committee also recommends a general reduction of $73,100,000 for auxiliaries, craft, and prior year program costs. Language has been provided in the bill transferring $58,000,000 in fiscal year 1981 unobligated balances in the Maritime Pre-position- ing Ship Program, and $15,100,000 in fiscal year 1979 unobligated balances in the TRIDENT program to fiscal year 1982 to offset the reduction. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $11,900,000 in this appropriation to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equipment Transfer which is described earlier in this report. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 CONSULTANTS, STUDIES AND ANALYSES The Committee recommends a reduction of $6,700,000 in addition to the requested reduction of $7,000,000 for Consultants, Studies and Analyses for a total reduction of $13,700,000 for this purpose. PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SHIPBUILDING AND CONVERSION, NAVY (SCN) APPROPRIATION The budget request proposes a lump-sum appropriation for the SCN appropriation in lieu of the individual program breakout as provided in prior years. Also, the budget proposes to extend the availability of this appropriation from five to seven years. The Committee again denies both of these requests. PAYMENT OF INSURANCE CLAIMS The fiscal year 1981 Supplemental Appropriations Bill included language prohibiting the payment of insurance premiums that would cover defective workmanship, defective material, and mis- management, delay and disruption. The Committee has since been advised by the General Accounting Office that the impact of the Act's prohibition is somewhat limited. Consequently, the Commit- tee has included new language in the bill.

The reduction is based on contract savings. The total rec- ommended for this program is $14,665,000 for procurement of 9 systems. COMMUNICATIONS AND ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT ELECTRONIC WARFARE EQUIPMENT-NAVY RESERVE The Committee recommends an increase of $20,000,000 for pro- curement of electronic warfare equipment for the Navy Reserve. This recommendation is discussed earlier in this report. AVIATION SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AN/SSQ-47 SONOBUOY The Navy budgeted $3,237,000 for procurement of 4,900 AN/ SSQ-47 Sonobuoys. In previous years the limited procurement quantities have necessitated opening and closing the production line each year, resulting in production inefficiencies and unneces- sarily high costs. For an additional $4,900,000 in fiscal year 1982, the Navy can acquire an additional 9,578 sonobuoys and can com- plete its total procurement requirement for this sonobuoy. Signifi- cant savings will occur in future years. For this reason, the Com- mittee recommends an increase of $4,900,000. The total recom- mended is $8,137,000. CONTRACT SAVINGS The Committee recommends the following reductions based on contract savings: AN/SSQ-57 sonobuoy ........................................................................ $2,686,000 $2,186,000 -$500,000 AN/SSQ-77 sonobuoy ........................................................................ 33,255,000 20,055,000 -13,200,000 General purpose bombs ...................................................................... 36,864,000 30,864,000 -6,000,000 Practice bombs .................................................................................. 30,664,000 27,364,000 -3,300,000 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Navy budgeted $40,067,000 for LAMPS Mark III shipboard equipment to initiate the backfitting of 2 destroyers and 2 FFG-7 class frigates, thus making these ships LAMPS Mark III capable. The Committee has expressed concern with the dramatic increases in the overall cost of the LAMPS Mark III program. In particular, the cost of backfitting each of the 68 ships with the LAMPS Mark III system has risen over 125 percent, and at the same time the cost to procure and install the shipboard equipment has nearly doubled. Consequently, the Committee recommends a reduction of $20,000,000, and directs that the Navy cancel the backfitting of 31 FFG-7's, 4 DD-993's, and 2 CG-47's and the procurement of LAMPS Mark III shipboard equipment for these ships. ORDNANCE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT 5"/54 GUN AMMUNITION The Committee recommends a reduction of $5,000,000 from the $62,669,000 budgeted for 5"/54 gun ammunition, based on contract savings. The total recommended for this line is $57,669,000. CIVIL ENGINEERING AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT FLEET HOSPITAL PROGRAM As discussed earlier in this report under Medical Operations, the Committee recommends denial of the $87,800,000 budgeted for the Fleet Hospital program. The recommendation is made in the belief that a more consistent and unified program needs to be developed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense which addresses the needs of all services for field hospitals in the communications zone. Re- ductions totalling $64,200,000 from the Civil Engineering and Sup- port Equipment budget activity are as follows: 49 Passenger vehicles ............................................................................................................................... 18 -$2,200,000 Trucks .................................................................................................................................................. 130 -1,600,000 Trailers ................................................................................................................................................. 54 -500,000 Lighting and power generating equipment ........................................................................................... 33 -13,200,000 Fire trucks ........................................................................................................................................... 6 -400,000 Combat construction equipment ............................................................................................................................. -45,800,000 Telephone equipment ............................................................................................................................ 6 -500,000 COMMAND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT MEDICAL SUPPORT EQUIPMENT The Committee recommends a reduction of $23,600,000 from the $48,959,000 budgeted for medical support equipment. The reduction is for equipment designated for the Fleet Hospital program. The reasons for the reduction are explained elsewhere in this report. The total recommended for medical support equipment is $25,359,000. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT The Committee recommends a reduction of $1,400,000 from the $17,687,000 budgeted for intelligence support equipment. The rea- sons for this reduction are included in the classified annex to this report. PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT The Navy budgeted $3,323,000 for productivity enhancement equipment. A recent report by the General Accounting Office, ("In- centive Programs to Improve Productivity Through Capital Invest- ments Can Work"), concluded that the Navy had given insufficient management attention to this program and was failing to adhere to Congressional guidelines concerning the use of these funds. The Committee recommends denial of the. $3,323,000 budgeted for this program. The Committee expects the Navy to support any addition- al funding for this program with conclusive evidence that it is in compliance with Congressional direction. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $5,400,000 in this appropriation to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equip- ment Transfer which is described earlier in this report. . CONSULTANTS, STUDIES, AND ANALYSES The September budget amendment included a general reduction of $3,000,000 for consultants, studies, and analyses. The Committee recommends a total reduction of $4,300,000 for this purpose, an additional reduction of $1,300,000 below the budget. FIRST DESTINATION TRANSPORTATION The Committee recommends a reduction of $3,800,000 which the Navy budgeted for first destination transportation for ammunition. Funding for this purpose should be budgeted in operation and maintenance, and these requirements can be performed within available funds in fiscal year 1982. AUDIO VISUAL EQUIPMENT The Committee recommends a reduction of $1,800,000 for audio visual equipment for reasons explained earlier in this report.

This is improperly funded in the procurement appropri- ation and the Committee recommends a reduction of $500,000. ITEMS LESS THAN $900,000 The Marine Corps budgeted $500,000 in this line for procurement of electronic time fuze setters. Since the electronic time fuze pro- gram has been cancelled, the Committee recommends a reduction of $500,000. GENERAL REDUCTION The Marine Corps has cancelled its participation in the Cutlass Spirit program, and the September budget amendment deleted the $2,916,000 budgeted in fiscal year 1982 for this purpose. However, $8,500,000 was provided in fiscal year 1981 for this program. The Committee, therefore, recommends a general reduction of $8,500,000 in budget authority, which is offset by the use of the unobligated funds from fiscal year 1981. POSITION LOCATION AND REPORTING SYSTEM The Marine Corps budgeted $40,460,000 for initial procurement of the Position Location Reporting System (PLRS). The Committee recommends denial of this funding for reasons contained in the Other Procurement, Army section of this report. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $2,400,000 to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equipment Transfer which is discussed earlier in this report. AIRCRAFT PROCUREMENT, AIR FORCE Appropriations, 1981 ................................................................................ $10,427,428,000 New obligational authority, 1982: Estimate .............................................................................................. 13,843,898,000 Recommended .................................................................................... 13,957,598,000 Increase ............................................................................................... + 113,700,000 This appropriation provides for procurement of aircraft, and for modification of inservice aircraft to improve safety and enhance operational effectiveness. It also provides for investment spares and repair parts including spare engines, replenishment spares, and other support equipment to include aerospace ground equipment and industrial facilities. In addition, funds are provided for the procurement of flight training simulators to increase combat readi- ness and to provide for more economical training. The Committee has approved all authorized requests for a wide variety of RDT & E and procurement upgrades to tactical aircraft in areas such as communications, electronic warfare, positioning sys- tems, etc. However, the Committee notes that the price tag for these systems is extremely high, and thus the Committee remains open minded about the 'proper mix" for the future funding of these many upgrades.

This request is divided into four categories. The following table outlines the request in each category, and the Committee's recommendations for each. Fiscal year 1982 Committee r2 an9P Weapon System .............................................................................................. $1,674,000,000 $1,574,000,000 -$100,000,000 Advance Procurement ..................................................................................... 227,000,000 227,000,000 ............................

It is also planned that this aircraft will have the capability to launch Air Launched Cruise Missiles (ALCM's). The Air Force testimony stated that their inven- tory objective for the B-1B is 100 aircraft. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The $1,574,000,000 approved for the "weapon system" category is to initiate procurement of the first two B-1B's. Items to be pro- cured with these funds include tooling, aircraft parts, vendor piece- part manufacturing, purchase of rivets and fasteners, etc. In con- formance with the fiscal year 1982 authorization conference action, the Committee reduced the request for the "weapon system" cate- gory by $100,000,000. The $227,000,000 requested for advanced procurement consists of raw materials, castings and forgings, major subcontracts for struc- tures and systems and vendor parts. The Committee has approved the full amount requested for advanced buys. $51,000,000 was requested for initial spares. The Committee con- curs with the authorization conference which felt that this request was premature, and no funds are included for initial spares for this aircraft. A reduction of $51,000,000 was recommended in the "spares and repair parts" line. Testimony indicated that an additional $2.4 billion of Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation (RDT&E) remains to be done on the B-1B. Comments on the request for $471,000,000 for RDT&E in fiscal year 1982 appear in the RDT&E section of this report. Details on the Committee's recommendation for the Advanced Technology Bomber (ATB) appear in a classified letter to the Secre- tary of Defense. A total of $1,801,000,000 is approved for procurement of the B-lB bomber. This figure includes $1,574,000,000 for Weapon System and $227,000,000 for Advance Procurement. The A-7K is a two-seat aircraft used by the Air National Guard for training. The Committee recommends an increase of $114,700,000 over the budget for six A-7K aircraft, if these funds are authorized by law. The Committee also recommends an in- crease of $7,000,000 in the spares and repair parts account, for initial spares for these six aircraft, if the $7,000,000 is authorized by law. A-10 ATTACK AIRCRAFT The A-10 is a twin turbofan aircraft designed for the close air support mission. The revised Air Force budget requested $249,700,000 for 20 A-10 aircraft in fiscal year 1982 and advanced procurement of $20,000,000 for 20 additional A-10 aircraft to be funded in fiscal year 1983. The Committee recommends a total of $229,700,000 for the A-10 program. These funds are to be used for the procurement of 20 aircraft in fiscal year 1982 and advance procurement for 20 aircraft in fiscal year 1983. The reduction of $40,000,000 will still provide sufficient funds for the restructured production rate of 20 aircraft in fiscal year 1982 and 20 aircraft in fiscal year 1983. The reduction consists of savings realized through the decision to produce one-seat A-10's rather than 14 two-seat A-10's and the fact that excess funds are available from the advance procurement Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 funds provided in the fiscal year 1981 Defense Appropriation Bill. The Committee recommends that the Air Force allocate these excess funds to meet its objective of 20 aircraft in fiscal year.1982 and 20 aircraft in fiscal year 1983. After negotiations are complet- ed, if additional appropriations are required, a request for repro- gramming should be submitted. F-15 ATTACK FIGHTER The F-15 is a twin engine, single crew, fixed swept wing aircraft designed specifically for high maneuverability in air-to-air combat. The budget request included $1,091,800,000 for 42 F-15 fighter aircraft, and $100,400,000 for advance procurement of 30 additional F-15's in fiscal year 1983. In conformance with the fiscal year 1982 authorization conference action, the Committee recommends $980,200,000, a decrease of $111,600,000 for 36 F-15's and $3,000,000 for initial spares for these aircraft. Since the Air Force plans on revising the production rate of the F-15 downward from 42 in fiscal year 1982 to 30 aircraft in fiscal year 1983, the adjustment to 36 aircraft in fiscal year 1982 will not have a major impact on the production plans for this aircraft. The Committee has fully funded the request of $100,400,000 for advance procurement of 30 F-15's in fiscal year 1983. F-16 MULTIMISSION FIGHTER The F-16 Multimission Fighter is a single seat, fixed wing, high performance fighter aircraft with excellent close-in air-to-air combat capabilities and effective air-to-surface capability. The budget request included $1,878,400,000 for procurment of F- 16 aircraft under a multiyear contract, at a rate of 120 aircraft per year for four years. The fiscal year 1982 request includes $1,331,600,000 for 120 F-16 aircraft and $546,800,000 for advance procurement. The Committee recommends a total of $1,817,600,000,. a reduction of $60,800,000 from the budget request but consistent with the authorization conference level for fiscal year 1982. The Committee's recommendation will not require any changes in this program as proposed in the budget request. Both the authorizing legislation and the Committee recommendation assume that the $60,800,000 reduction will be completely offset by the denial of a proposed fiscal year 1982 rescission of funds included in the fiscal year 1981 supplemental for the F-16. Of the total buy of 120 F-16 aircraft, the Committee directs that 20 are to be transferred to Air National Guard. Further comments on multiyear contracting appear under a sep- arate heading by that title earlier in this report. OTHER COMBAT AIRCRAFT The KC-10A advanced tanker/cargo aircraft is a DC-10 modified to provide long range air refueling capability and airlift support. The Administration's March Amendment to the defense budget included a request of $437,000,000 for eight KC-10A aircraft. How- ever, the September Amendment deleted these funds. Considering Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 the capability and versatility of these aircraft, and their potential important role in the Rapid Deployment Force, the Committee recommends an increase of $220,200,000 for four KC-10A aircraft and $17,200,000 for initial spares, the authorized amounts. The MC-130H is a specially configured C-130H transport aircraft designed to support Air Force special missions. Funds for these aircraft were included in the Administration's first revision of the defense budget, but were excluded from the most recent revision. Given the importance of this program, the Committee recommends an increase of $27,000,000 to the budget request for four MC-130H aircraft. AIRLIFT AIRCRAFT TACTICAL AIRLIFT C-130H The C-130H is a medium size tactical transport aircraft which has a number of missions including deployment and redeployment of troops and/or supplies within and between command areas in a theater of operation, aeromedical evauation, air logistic support and augmentation of strategic airlift requirements. No funds were requested for C-130H aircraft. The Committee recommends an in- crease of $109,500,000 for eight C-130H aircraft and $4,100,000 for initial spares for these aircraft. MARINE CORPS RESERVE TANKER REQUIREMENT The Marine Corps Reserve has documented a requirement for two KC-130 tanker squadrons (a total of 28 aircraft) but currently has only one-half of a squardron (seven aircraft) at Glenview, Illi- nois, as noted, the Committee has funded eight additional C-130 aircraft above the budget request and is specifically directing that four of the eight be built as KC-130 tankers and delivered to the Marine Corps Reserve. Additional comments on this matter appear in the Aircraft Procurement, Navy section of this report. WIDE-BODIED CARGO AIRLIFT AIRCRAFT The Committee included no funds in the RDT&E account for the CX aircraft, which the Air Force had planned on being a future strategic wide-bodied airlift aircraft. The authorizing legislation includes $50,000,000 for procurement of wide-bodied aircraft. Con- sidering the present shortfall of airlift capability for the Rapid Deployment Force, the Committee has included $50,000,000 for the immediate procurement of the best existing wide-bodied aircraft for the strategic airlift mission. Examples of aircraft in this category include C5's, KC-10's, 747's and other wide-bodied aircraft. The Committee believes that the acquisition of airlift aircraft is an urgent requirement and that more aircraft will be placed in the force earlier through this procedure. In view of the position of Congress this year and in previous years, the Committee expects Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 the Air Force to proceed immediately with the procurement of wide-bodied cargo aircraft and to abandon the C-X program as a substitute. Enough studies have been done. Too much time has already been wasted. Further delay on the part of the Air Force in this important area is unacceptable. MODIFICATION OF IN-SERVICE AIRCRAFT B-52D RETIREMENT The September amendment included a recommendation to begin retirement of B-52D aircraft. The amendment included a recom- mendation to delete $62,100,000 from the B52-D modification pro- gram. Considering that these aircraft have recently been reskinned and recently received modifications to update their inertial guid- ance systems, and considering the capability of these aircraft to deliver significant numbers of conventional bombs, the Committee believes that the retirement of these aircraft is imprudent and recommends an increase of $62,100,000 to keep them in the active force. An increase of $18,900,000 is also included in the "operation and maintenance" account, for the continued operation of these aircraft. F-106 MODIFICATIONS A total of $35,600,000 was requested for modification of the F-106 aircraft. In conformance with the action taken by the authorization conference, the Committee recommends a reduction of $15,300,000 for this program. A total of $20,300,000 is approved for this pro- gram. F/B F-4 MODIFICATION A total of $118,400,000 was requested for modification of F/B F-4 aircraft. The Committee recommends an increase of $7,100,000 for procurement of smoke modification kits for F/B F-4 aircraft. KC-135 REENGINING In order to meet its global aerial refueling responsibilities, which have doubled and continue to grow since the introduction of the Boeing KC-135 aerial tanker, the Air Force intends to retain its 23- year-old KC-135 fleet beyond the year 2000. Powered by a first generation turbojet engine the KC-135 is performance limited, fuel inefficient, unreliable, and difficult to maintain. Currently, the 645 KC-135's utilize one-eighth of all Air Force fuel consumed and their J-57 engines have been reworked and overhauled so many times that they can no longer be economically repaired. The pri- mary performance limitation is that a J-57 powered KC-135 is restricted below its maximum designed takeoff gross weight about 80 percent of the time. This limitation greatly effects the aircraft's range, endurance, and altitude capabilities which further impacts Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 the amount of fuel which it can carry and offload to receiver aircraft. The performance deficiencies and high maintenance costs relate to the J-57 and not to the airframe, which in itself poses little limitation to continued use. The Air Force is currently pursuing at least four separate pro- grams that in one way or another, are all designed to address these problems. The first, called Pacer Grade, involves "extensive component replacement in order to halt any further decline in the J-57's already degraded performance and to improve its reliability. This modification would insure that the engine could be maintained through the turn of the century. Pacer Grade would improve J-57 reliability and ease of maintenance, but it would only improve fuel efficiency by 2 percent and aircraft performance not at all. This option is estimated to cost $1.4 million per aircraft. The second engine option involves the replacement of the KC- 135's present J-57's with the CFM-56, a high technology, high bypass ratio turbofan engine. The CFM-56 would provide the air- craft with a substantial increase in performance and improved fuel efficiency. For a mission over 2,500 nautical miles radius the CFM- 56 powered tanker could offload 67 percent more fuel than its J-57 counterpart, while incorporating improved takeoff performance as well as a 25 percent reduction in fuel consumption. Each CFM-56 powered aircraft would save about 180,000 gallons of fuel a year. The third and newest option is to re-engine the KC-135 with commercially proven JT-3D turbofan engines. This reliable and well-matured civilian engine provides the Air Force with a cost- effective alternative to re-engining the entire fleet with the expen- sive CFM-56 and/or performing Pacer Grade modifications. This option recently came to light as a result of the large number of JT- 3D powered Boeing 707 airliners being forced into retirement by Federal Aviation Administration and Environmental Protection Agency stringent noise and smoke requirements. Air Force use of the JT-3D is exempt from these Federal environmental regulatory requirements and in fact, the JT-3D is more environmentally ac- ceptable than the present J-57. The JT-3D is similar to the Air Force's well-proven TF-33 turbofan engines with about 80 percent of its parts already Federal stock listed. Air Force evaluation. of the JT-3D indicated that the engine would allow continued use of the KC-135 through the turn of the century. Air Force officials feel that at least 200 Boeing 707 JT-3D powered aircraft-enough to re- engine about one-third of the KC-135's-could be obtained out of the estimated 400 due to be retired worldwide by 1985. The fourth option is to continue to relieve the mission of KC-135 and at the same time expand the capability to support growing TAC or Rapid Deployment Force requirements by continuing the purchase of the KC-10-most modern of the aerial tankers. While this portion of the effort received less than enthusiastic support from the Air Force, the Committee continues to believe it repre- sents a cost effective investment that will provide a unique tanker/ cargo capability well into the 21st Century. The Committee also supports both of the efforts to re-engine. Rapidly increasing tanker requirements, plus the high cost of fuel make these re-engining efforts essential. In view of the ability to Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 re-engine with the JT-3D this year, the Committee recommends that the Air Force not pursue the Pacer Grade effort. The JT-3D alternative is seen in some quarters as a threat to the CFM-56 re-engining program although it need not be because the number of 707 JT-3D powered aircraft available is not adquate to re-engine the entire fleet even if the Air Force could obtain nearly all of the 400 707's due to be retired worldwide by 1985. The re-engining with JT-3D's could be done now while the KC- 135's are undergoing a "reskinning". This will help to reduce costs and reduce the period of time that aircraft are not available. The Committee believes that the Air Force should continue to pursue the JT-3D effort as well as the CFM-56. Accordingly, the Committee has set aside in the bill $103.5 million from Aircraft Procurement, Air Force for KC-135 re-engining. All or a portion of this amount can come from within the funds requested for KC-135 re-engining. This amount should purchase 40 to 46 kits (used 707 aircraft). An addition of $46.8 million to the operation and mainte- nance appropriation is made to install up to 36 kits during FY 1982. This equates to 6 per month for the last half of FY 1982 which is .the rate at which the KC-135 is being reskinned. Installa- tion of some JT-3D engines now will help to insure that eventually all 625 KC-135's get re-engined. Without this approach many of the Reserve Component aircraft would not receive replacement engines until well into the 1990's, if ever. The Air Force should vigorously pursue the development of the CFM-56 and commence re-engining the KC-135 with the CFM-56 when that engine is available. To that end the Air Force will promptly submit to the Commit- tee an appropriate funding schedule covering the JT-3D re-engin- ing plan and the long range plan for re-engining with the CFM-56. THRUST COMPUTING The Air Force has recently experienced major problems in at- tempting to deal with the thrust management problem on its high- est technology aircraft engine (the F-100) installed in F-15 aircraft. Engine durability has been much lower than expected. Unfortu- nately, the Air Force has no simple way to measure the thrust of installed engines. Although the Air Force has decided to implement the thrust computing system for its J85-5 engines, no funds for this effort were requested in the FY 82 budget. The Committee recommends an increase of $9,000,000 to the aircraft modification program for this effort. Additional comments on this program appear in the "Operation and Maintenance" section of this report. SPARES AND REPAIR PARTS The total Air Force request for "spares and repair parts" is $4,002,500,000. During hearings in the past few years the Commit- tee has heard extensive testimony concerning the severe impact on Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 readiness because of the lack of spares and repair parts and thus has recommended substantial increases for this account in recent years. The Committee continues to strongly support an adequate funding level for these items as evidenced by its approval of the full authorized funding level for spares and repair parts. However, the Committee notes three items of caution with regard to this account. First, hearings and studies on the adequacy of the industrial base to produce the military hardware projected for procurement in the expanded defense budget of this and future years, have raised the point that potential "bottle necks" in the production would most likely occur at the so-called "subcontractor" level or among the smaller manufacturing companies. These are the same corpora- tions which produce the vast majority of spares and repair parts. Considering the rapid increase in the funding level for Air Force Spares and Repair Parts-from a level of $1,500,000,000 in fiscal year 1981 to approximately $4,000,000,000 in fiscal year 1982-the Committee is concerned that the Air Force may start "tapping" the spares and repair parts account as a source of funds for reprogram- ming because of a potentially slow spendout rate of the appropri- ated funds due to a shortage of industrial capacity. The Committee would "take issue" if this account was recommended as a source of funds for reprogramming. Secondly, the Committee notes that according to DOD's own audit report, substantial savings could be made-up to 25%-if spares and repair parts were procured directly from subcontractors rather than through the "prime" contractors. The Committee be- lieves that, considering the very large sums involved in the pro- curement of spares and repair parts, the direct purchase of these items from the subcontractors should be vigorously pursued. Third, the Committee notes that having an adequate supply of spares and repair parts in not simply a matter of funds. For example, the General Accounting Office, at the Committee's direc- tion, is conducting an analysis of the spares and repair parts prob- lems of the F-15 at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. The GAO auditors' preliminary conclusions of 45 of the most common spares and repair parts revealed a wide variety of problems not related to inadequate funding. Examples of the problems of some of these 45 parts follows: Description of'the problems affecting some of the 45 parts analyzed Part and stock number Converter programmer 1280-01-042-3952 Strap assembly 1560-01-070-5016 Rudder actuator 1650-01-065-7768 Servocylinder 1650-00-477-4043 Problem(s) Extensive modification of this item has removed items from the repair pipe- line. The contractor did not have sufficient capacity to meet requirements for both new production aircraft and replenish- ment spares. The manufacturer of this item went out of business and there has been a delay in finding a new manufacturer. This item began failing faster than ex- pected. At the same time, the produc- tion lead time increased significantly and a modification program began. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061 OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Limit switch 5930-01-038-3875 Flaired tube sleeve 4730-00-427-8692 PT Turbine case assembly 2840-01-045-3879 PT Exhaust nozzle ' 2915-01-035-0276 PT Hydromechanical sensor 2915-01-081-9055 PT Lubricating tank assembly 2840-01-022-5422 PT Demand for this item unexpectedly jumped from 20 per month to about 50 per month. Also, the depot experi- enced a shortage of subcomponent repair parts needed to repair the item. A subcomponent part unexpectedly began to fail. As a result, too few of these subcomponents were in the in- ventory to meet the demand. A harness assembly for the camera body originally coded repairable was found to be unrepairable. Also, more items are failing than anticipated. The manufacturer of this item did not renew its contract and there has been difficulty in finding another suitable manufacturer. Records showed assets were available. However, the depot lost the assets and a special inventory failed to locate them. The item failure rate is greater than forecasted and the item manager did not buy enough assets ' to support the higher demand for this long lead time item. The item is experiencing high failure and malfunction problems. Also the item contains cobalt which the manu- facturer cannot get in a timely manner to support production of this item. Item manager records showed sufficient assets on hand. However, the depot could not find any assets in its inven- tory.. Item contains waspaloy (an alloy , con- taining cobalt). Manufacturer cannot get timely delivery of this material from suppliers and therefore has diffi- culty in meeting production schedules. Demand was higher than initially antici- pated by the item manager. Also, this is a long lead time item (27 months). Demand was higher than anticipated on this long lead time item (25 months). The item manager had not bought suf- ficient assets initially to supply the ex- perienced demand. Technical order inspections of this item resulted in extensive condemnations. The item manager had not bought enough assets to cover the unpredicted high demand. Premature failure of this item signifi- cantly increased demand. This is a long lead time item (23 months). Also, due to a design deficiency, the item is under going a redesign/modification. The depot and some field activities misi- dentified some assets. Therefore even though assets were available, the depot's records incorrectly showed that no assets were available. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Support arm Item experienced a design deficiency re- 2840-00-365-2026 PT sulting in premature failures with de- mands increasing from 61 to about 364 per year. The item is undergoing modi- fication to fix the problem. Thus, there has been only limited procurement of old item. Exhaust bracket Item experienced premature failure with 2840-01-056-2695 PT resulting significant increase in demand. Also, item contains titanium which is in short supply and lengthens production lead time. Straight pin Design deficiency caused high failure 5315-01-003-9753 rate. Item was modified and produc- tion of a new item was affected by difficulty in getting material for the modified item. The Committee has made the following adjustments in the ."spares and repair parts" account: Initial spares: Bl-B ..................................................................................................... -$51,000,000 C-130H ................................................................................................ +4,100,000 F-15 ...................................................................................................... -3,000,000 A7-K .................................................................................................... +7,000,000 KC-10 .................................................................................................. +17,200,000 Undistributed Reduction ......................................................................... -80,000,000 Total ................................................................................................. -105,700,000 The increase of $7,000,000 for initial spares for the A7-K, be- comes available only if these funds are authorized by law. The undistributed reduction of $80,000,000 is in conformance with the action taken by the authorization conference. A total of $3,896,800,000 is recommended for spares and repair parts. Addi- tional comments on spares and repair parts appears in the oper- ation and maintenance section of this report. AIRCRAFT SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES OTHER PRODUCTION CHARGES The Committee recommends a reduction of $10,900,000 for "Other Production Charges". The recommended reduction is a net number consisting of changes in three classified programs. (1) Tactical improvements (classified) ................................................... -$27,700,000 (2) Classified program ............................................................................... -8,100,000 (3) Classified program ............................................................................... +24,900,000 Net subtotal .................................................................................... -10,900,000 These programs are discussed in the classified annex to this report and in a classified letter to the Secretary of Defense. NATO AEW/C The budget included a request of $358,200,000 for the United States' contribution to the NATO Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) for fiscal year 1982. The Committee recommends a reduction of $13,900,000 for this program, in conformance with the action taken by the authorization conference. Because of the strength of the dollar, and the impact of that strength on exchange Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 rates, the reduction will have no impact on the level of effort planned for this program. GENERAL REDUCTIONS ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $19,400,000 in the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force account to finance the Army Guard and Reserve Equipment Transfer as described earlier in this report. FOREIGN MILITARY SALES ADJUSTMENTS The Committee recommends a general reduction of $8,000,000 in this appropriation based on changes in the foreign military sales program. These changes are discussed earlier in the report.

The. Committee believes that this is an impor- tant program for the continual upgrade of the Minuteman Missile system and has provided $44,600,000 for continued procurement of MK-12A reentry vehicles. AIM-7M SPARROW For reasons explained in the Weapons Procurement, Navy sec- tion of this report, the Committee recommends a reduction of $31,500,000. The recommended total for AIM-7M Sparrow is $195,541,000. RAPIER AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM Last year, the Air Force entered into an agreement with the United Kingdom to procure the RAPIER Air Defense System. The program was structured to allow procurement at the best economi- cal rate. The Air Force has proposed to reduce the funding origi- nally planned for FY 1982, thereby stretching the program and increasing its cost. The Committee concludes that this approach is wasteful, and directs the Air Force proceed as originally planned. The Committee recommends adding $38,200,000 for RAPIER. Of this sum: $23,000,000 restores the reduction proposed by the Air Force from the Missile Procurement account; $6,200,000 restores the proposed reduction from the Other Procurement account in the September budget amendment and places it in the Missile Procure- ment account; and $9,000,000 restores the proposed reduction in the Missile Spares and Repair Parts account. The net result of these actions is a recommended total amount for RAPIER of $139,286,000, and $9,000,000 for RAPIER spares and repair parts. OTHER SUPPORT SPACE PROGRAMS GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) The Global Positioning System (GPS) program has as its objec- s tive the development and deployment of an 18 satellite "constella- tion" which would provide users with continuous positioning and navigation information, thus increasing force effectiveness through enhancement of accuracy and capabilities of weapons delivery. The majority of the funds requested for this program are in RDT&E, and comments on this request appear in the RDT&E section of the report. In conformance with the action taken by the authorization conference, the Committee has included no procurement funds for this program, and recommends a reduction of $73,596,000. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 A total of $230,254,000 was budgeted for the Defense Support Program under a multi-year incrementally-funded concept. The Committee does not support the program as budgeted in fiscal year 1982 because (a) production is not based on a fully-funded basis; (b) there is significant research and development required between fiscal years 1982 and 1986; (c) there is some technical and schedule risk in the development portion of the program; (d) there is no urgency that production be initiated during fiscal year 1982; (e) there is too much concurrency in the program as budgeted by the Air Force; (f) the proposed contract is fixed-price incentive, rather than firm fixed-price, thereby providing no assurance the total estimated savings can be achieved; (g) there are already cost in- creases recently identified on other phases of the program with a similar degree of concurrency; and (h) the proposed production program does not meet the DOD criteria for a multi-year procure- ment program. Consequently, the Committee recommends $242,000,000, an increase of $12,000,000 above the budget, to pro- cure long leadtime items for the total proposed production pro- gram. The Committee will consider a restructured production pro- gram under a fully-funded multi-year procurement concept begin- ning in fiscal year 1983. Of the total funds approved in this bill for the Defense Satellite Communications System III program, $15,000,000 may be expended on the development of multi-channel transponders for the Defense Satellite Communications System III program. SPECIAL UPDATE PROGRAM The Committee recommends an increase of $350,000,000 for a classified program. Details on this program are discussed in a classified letter to the Secretary of Defense. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $5,900,000 in the Missile Procurement, Air Force account to finance Army Guard and Reserve Equipment Transfer as described earlier in the report. $60,916,000 was requested for Modification of In-Service Missiles (CLASS IV). The Committee recommends a reduction of $26,900,000 for this program. The recommendation consists of a reduction of $4,400,000 for modifications, not related to safety, of Titan missiles, and a reduction of $22,500,000 derived from unobligated funds from fiscal year 1981 for the MESP program. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Committee recommends an increase of $35,000,000 for the Minuteman Extended Survivable Power program. Considering the central role that the Minuteman missile force will continue to fulfill in maintaining a viable strategic nuclear deterrent force, the Committee believes it would be imprudent not to proceed with this -z program and thus has recommended the increase. As mentioned in the previous comments on the Rapier missile, $9,000,000 has been added to the budget request for spare parts for the missile. OTHER PROCUREMENT, AIR FORCE Appropriations, 1981 ................................................................................ $3,149,578,000 New obligational authority, 1982: Estimate .............................................................................................. 5,174,144, 000 Recommended .................................................................................... 5,379,288,000 Increase ............................................................................................... 205,144,000 Recommended in the bill ......................................................................... 15,380,088,000 ' Includes $5,379,288,000 in new obligational authority and in addition $800,000 in prior year unobligated balances to be derived by transfer from "Other Procurement, Air Force, 1981/1983". This appropriation provides for the procurement of weapon sys- tems and equipment other than aircraft and missiles. Included are munitions, other weapons, vehicles, electronic and telecommunica- tions systems for command and control of operational forces, and ground support equipment for weapons systems and supporting structure.

It will be replaced as early as 1983 by a joint Navy/Air Force FMU-139 common bomb fuze. The FMU-139 fuze will be competitively procured and is estimated to cost less than half the FMU-112. The Air Force has given only lukewarm support to the FMU-139 program, for which the Navy is the lead agency. It is expected that this situation will continue as long as the FMU- 112 is available as an alternative. There are adequate supplies of other fuzes which can be used until the FMU-139 is available. In addition, there are 1,254 FMU-112 fuzes already on order which will be delivered beginning in February 1982. A $9,422,000 reduc- tion is recommended and the Air Force is directed to give its full support to the FMU-139 fuze development and procurement pro- gram. .38 CALIBER AMMUNITION The Committee recommends a reduction of $1,900,000 in the $7,195,000 budgeted for .38 caliber ammunition. The reduction is based on contract savings resulting from a different procurement strategy than originally planned. The reduction was identified in a report from the General Accounting Office. FIRST DESTINATION TRANSPORTATION The Air Force improperly budgeted $2,100,000 for first destina- tion transportation for ammunition in the procurement appropri- ation rather than Operation and Maintenance. A reduction of $2,100,000 is recommended. 25K AIRCRAFT LOADER The Committee recommends a reduction of $1,100,000 in the $8,462,000 budgeted for 25K aircraft loader vehicles. The reduction is based on contract savings. ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT STRATEGIC AIR COMMAND INFORMATION NETWORK (SACDIN) SACDIN (Strategic Air Command Information Network) will pro- vide SAC with an improved data communications capability. The budget includes $54,268,000 for SACDIN including $29,500,000 in RDT&E and $24,768,000 in procurement. The Committee recom- mends fully funding RDT&E for the program, but recommends a small reduction of $2,500,000 in the procurement account for the program. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 SACDIN is scheduled to utilize the AUTODIN II common user network. In light of the misgivings, expresed by various DoD offi- cials with regard to the future of the AUTODIN II system, the Committee believes a small reduction in this program is warranted, pending the outcome of the future of AUTODIN II. In past agreements the Air Force had assured the Committee that program costs would be $146,000,000 in 1977 dollars. The Air Force now states that costs will be $178,000,000 in 1977 dollars-an overrun of 22% in constant dollars. The Committee is dismayed that, following frequent assurances from the Air Force that the program could be developed and procured within cost, significant cost overruns are occurring in yet another Air Force program. RDF, AIR GUARD, COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT The Committee recommends an increase of $30,400,000 above the budget for RDF, Air Guard, communications equipment. This rec- ommendation is explained elsewhere in this report. The Committee directs that the funds requested for upgrading the AUTOSEVOCOM secure voice system be used instead to pro- cure Standard Telephone Unit II (STU II) secure telephones. The Committee has fully funded continued RDT&E of the STU IIM (Standard Telephone Unit II Modified). OTHER BASE MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT BASE MECHANIZATION EQUIPMENT The Air Force budgeted $13,330,000 for base mechanization equipment. Last year a similar amount was provided, but the Air Force cancelled or postponed requirements for projects totalling $6,700,000. This appears to indicate that the Air Force is not pro- viding sufficient management attention to this program. A $5,000,000 reduction is recommended, which will provide a total program of $8,330,000 in fiscal year 1982. DEPOT PLANT AND MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT The Air Force budgeted $23,025,000 for procurement of depot plant and materials handling equipment costing less than $900,000, an increase of $4,220,000 over the $18,805,000 provided last year. A reduction of $3,000,000 is recommended, based on the belief that the Air Force should make greater efforts to use excess govern- ment-owned equipment at contractor facilities and equipment available through DIPEC. Furthermore, the Committee has learned that the Department is giving consideration to a different funding mechanism for procurement of this equipment, involving the use of surcharges on depot repair work. MEDICAL!DENTAL EQUIPMENT Included in the $46,794,000 budgeted by the Air Force for medi- cal/dental equipment was $19,500,000 for field hospitals. As men- tioned previously under Other Procurement, Navy there is poten- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 tial for overlap and duplication as all three services begin major procurement programs for field hospitals. Therefore, the $19,500,000 is denied. The Committee exhorts the Department of Defense to move quickly to develop a unified and coherent program to procure this essential capability. The total recommended for medical/dental equipment is $27,294,000. The Committee recommends a reduction of $19,254,000 from the amount budgeted for selected activities for reasons discussed in the classified annex to this report. The Committee recommends an increase of $250,000,000 in the amount budgeted for the special update program for reasons dis- cussed in a classified letter to the Secretary of Defense. FOREIGN MILITARY SALES ADJUSTMENTS The Committee recommends a general reduction of $1,000,000 in this appropriation based on changes in the foreign military sales program. These changes are discussed earlier in this report. AUDIO VISUAL EQUIPMENT The Committee recommends a general reduction of $3,280,000 for audio visual equipment for reasons discussed earlier in this report under Operation and Maintenance. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $7,200,000 in this appropriation to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equip- ment Transfer which is discussed elsewhere in this report. PROCUREMENT, DEFENSE AGENCIES Appropriations, 1981 ................................................................................ $321,464,000 New obligational authority, 1982: Estimate .............................................................................................. 512,200,000 Recommended .................................................................................... 511,500,000 Decrease ................................................................:............................. 700,000 This appropriation provides for procurement of capital equip- ment for the Defense Communications Agency, the Defense Logis- tics Agency, and other agencies of the Department of Defense. The 1982 program includes procurement of automatic data processing equipment, mechanized materials handling systems, general and special purpose vehicular equipment, communications equipment, and many other things. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 244 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS CLASSIFIED PROGRAMS The Committee recommends a reduction of $5,000,000 in classi- fied programs for reasons discussed in the classified annex to this report. REALLOCATION OF WWMCCS RESOURCES The Committee recommends an increase of $5,500,000 for World Wide Military Command and Control System equipment. This rec- ommendation is discussed earlier in this report. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFER The Committee recommends a general reduction of $1,200,000 in this appropriation to support the Army Guard and Reserve Equip- ment Transfer for reasons discussed earlier in this report.

The ac- companying bill recommends a total program of $19,262,204,000 in new obligational authority. The total amount recommended is $2,731,540,000 above the total program provided in fiscal year 1981. The table below summarizes the budget estimates and the Commit- tee's recommendations: Research, development, test and evaluation, Army ............................ $3,768,500,000 Research, development, test and evaluation, Navy ............................. 5,885,488,000 Research, development, test and evaluation, Air Force ...................... 8,823,400,000 Research, development, test and evaluation, Defense Agencies......... 1,789,000,000 Director of Test and Evaluation, Defense ........................................... 53,000,000 Total, title V, new budget (obligational) authority, research, development, test and evaluation ................. 20,319,388,000 $3,577,119,000 -$191,381,000 5,517,671,000 -367,817,000 8,501,210,000 -322,190,000 1,613,204,000 -175,796,000 53,000,000 ................................ REMOTELY PILOTED VEHICLES Both the Army and the Air Force have been pursuing develop- ment of remotely piloted vehicles (RPV's). This technology holds promise to provide low cost platforms able to perform a variety of missions, including air defense suppression, ground target acquisi- tion and designation, and surveillance. An April 1981 report by GAO holds that RPV technology, despite opportunities for saving lives and money, has been given only limited use by DoD and has not been adequately funded. Despite this promise, both services have proposed taking actions which the Committee finds unjusti- fied. The Army wishes to cut in half its original FY 1982 request for funding of RPV technology. The Air Force, following withdraw- al by West Germany from the joint USAF/German LOCUST pro- gram because of funding constraints, proposes not to fund LOCUST beyond FY 1982. The Committee believes that RPV technology should be vigorously pursued, and adequately funded, to ensure that opportunities for early fielding can be provided. JOINT TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM (TRI-TAC) . The TRI-TAC program provides tactical communications equip- ment for all branches of the Armed Services. Eventually, a "family" of equipment, consisting of a wide variety of types of equipment, will be deployed in the TRI-TAC program. A total of (245) Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 $352,851,000 is requested for the TRI-TAC program. These funds are requested in various accounts-Procurement, RDT&E, Military Personnel-for the program. Over the years the Committee has supported the program, but has voiced its misgivings about the soaring costs, the long delay in actual deployment of equipment, and the emphasis on high tech- nology within the program. This program has been under develop- ment since 1971. The so-called "Tick-39" switches which are the "heart" of the TRI-TAC system are reportedly performing well. However, the Committee notes that they are very expensive. The Committee has made a number of relatively minor reduc- tions in various RDT&E accounts for this program. The Committee encourages DoD and the TRI-TAC program officials to consider alternative capabilities available or soon to be available, to satisfy the requirements that would assure a more timely fielding of the system as RDT&E continues on this program. It has been and remains the Committee's position that only joint trainer aircraft will be developed in the future. The services are reminded that Air Force requirements must be specifically consid- ered and addressed in the Navy's VTXTS program. Active involve- ment, not simply written MOU's, are necessary to carry out the intent of this Committee directive. The conduct of medical research and development by the mili- tary departments is a vital activity, and one which the Committee fully supports. In the past, the Committee has several times ex- pressed concern that certain aspects of the program appear dupli- cative or unrelated to operational problems. In order to address these concerns, the Committee took three actions: DoD was direct- ed to study and report on the possible consolidation of medical R&D activities; the Surveys and Investigations Staff conducted a separate review of these activities; hearings were held on medical activities. The results of these efforts have been carefully reviewed. They show that defense medical researchers are an extraordinarily talented and devoted group of persons whose individual efforts are a source of national strength, and that their individual contribu- tions could have even greater collective impact if top level adminis- tration were improved. The Committee desires that Defense coritin- ue to receive the medical research efforts it needs to solve oper- ational problems, and that those efforts be managed as efficiently as possible to assure stability and continued high. productivity of this important program. The DoD report concludes that consolidation of all Defense medi- cal R&D into a single DoD agency is unwarranted, that designation of lead agencies for the various areas of medical research would be difficult and that a new management committee, the ASBREM, will resolve all issues of consolidation, coordination and program integration between the Services. The Committee agrees that the ASBREM is a useful approach, one whose time has long since come. However, while the ASBREM will be useful in providing Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 additional centralized management guidance to the medical R&D program, it does not go far enough, soon enough. The ASBREM should be seen as an interim device leading to broader consolida- tion of those Defense medical research efforts, where such consoli- dation is logical and constructive. There appear to be more similarities than differences in the Services' needs for medical research and development, especially in the areas of infectious disease, combat casualty care and dental health. This is attested to by the Air Force's long dependence on its sister services for research in these areas. The Committee believes that Defense will benefit from a greater degree of consolidation in these areas than is represented by the ASBREM approach, and that such consolidation can be accomplished gradually so as to be non-disruptive of ongoing programs. Service concerns with main- taining a cadre of scientists in consolidated areas can be met by assigning members of one Service to the laboratories of the lead Service as appropriate. Defense should proceed as rapidly as possi- ble to institute the lead agency concept in medical research man- agement. This concept has worked in chemical and biological de- fense research, DoD food research and munitions research. It is applicable to medical R&D as well. Infectious disease is an area with which the Committee has previously expressed concern, and one which DoD has asked ASBREM to explore. The Committee believes no further explora- tion is necessary. The requirements for infectious disease research are common among all three Services. The Army program is pre- dominant and highly productive, having world-wide recognition in drug and vaccine development. The Committee directs that the Army be designated lead agency for infectious disease research, in parallel with its designation in medical biological warfare defense, a closely related area. Army and Navy should begin immediately to transfer management of Navy infectious disease research resources to the Army. To assist this transfer, certain small funding adjust- ments have been recommended at appropriate places in the budget. A report on this matter should be submitted with the FY 1983 budget. The Committee also believes that further study of Defense dental research is unwarranted. At present, the entire Army dental re- search program, and a portion of the Navy's, is directed at repair of combat maxillofacial injury. This work is clearly part of the larger combat casualty care program. The Committee directs that the Army be designated the lead agency for combat dentistry re- search and development; the Army and Navy should begin immedi- ately to transfer associated resources to Army control. Conversely, the Navy program contains a substantial proportion of research devoted to dental disease and dental emergency. The Navy should be made responsible for all Defense research in this area. To assist these transfers, certain small funding adjustments have been rec- ommended at appropriate places in the budget. A DoD report on dental research should be submitted with the FY 1983 budget presenting Service plans for these two areas. Completion of consolidation actions in infectious disease research and dental research by the end of FY 1984 is directed. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Naval Biosciences Laboratory (NBL) appears to the Commit- tee to be a facility in search of a mission. The Surveys and Investi- gations Staff reports that neither OSD nor the Navy have exercised decisive management of this laboratory, and that its value to the DoD effort is questionable. The Committee is informed that the Navy recently began the process of reorienting and restaffing the facility with the intention of making NBL responsive to operation- al needs. Accordingly, the Committee is recommending no adverse action at this time, but will carefully review the status of NBL during examination of the FY 1983 budget. As in past years, the Departments and Agencies requested funds for Defense Research Sciences which represent unreasonably large increases over the amounts provided for the previous year. The Committee has recommended reductions at the appropriate places in the budget. In addition, a total of $8,000,000 is recommended for transfer to Defense Research Sciences, Army from several Navy accounts, as follows: Defense Research Sciences, Navy ...................................................................... $4,400,000 Biomedical Technology ........................................................................................ 900,000 Medical Development (Adv) ................................................................................ 2,600,000 Medical Development (Eng) ................................................................................ 100,000 The transferred sum will allow implementation of the consolida- tion actions discussed above in Medical Research and Development. For reasons explained in the Operations and Maintenance sec- tion of this report, the Committee recommends reductions of $3,000,000 each in the RDT&E budgets of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. For reasons explained in the Operations and Maintenance sec- tion of this report, the Committee recommends reductions of $1,200,000 in the Navy RDT&E budget, and $4,190,000 in the Air Force RDT&E budget. ARMY GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT TRANSFERS For reasons explained in the Military Personnel section of this report, the Committee recommends the following reduction in RDT&E budgets: Army ....................................................................................................................... -$5,300,000 Navy ........................................................................................................................ -8,200,000 Air Force ................................................................................................................ -12,400,000 Defense Agencies .................................................................................................. -2,500,000 RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, ARMY Appropriation, 1981 .................................................................................. $3,127,774,000 New Obligation Authority, 1982: Estimate .............................................................................................. 3,768,500,000 Recommended .................................................................................... 3,577,119,000 Reduction ............................................................................................ 191,381,000 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,577,119,000 for the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation activities of the Army in fiscal year 1982. The recommendation is a reduction of $191,381,000 below the budget estimate, and is $449,345,000 more than the appropriation provided in fiscal year 1981. The Committee recommends the following changes in the budget estimate, in accordance with changes recommended by the authori- zation conference: BudNet Couittee Change from Reouest Recommended Reouest --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY TECH ............................ 8.481 7,500 -981 HOE AVIATION AND NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT ................. 5,092 2,348 -2,744 TERMINALLY GUIDED PROJECTILES ......................... --- 2,000 +2,000 DEMILITARIZATION CONCEPTS ............................. 11,921 9,500 -2.421 BALLISTIC MSL DEF SYS TECH ............................ 353,685 336,685 -17,000 JOINT SERVICE SMALL ARMS PROGRAM (JSSAF) .............. 3,529 5,500 41,971 ADVANCED MULTI-PURPOSE ARMORED SYSTEM ................. 20,805 8,000 -12,805 TACTICAL AUTOMATION ................................... 22,008 21,000 -1,008 DIV AIR DEFENSE COMD/CNTRL ............................ 10,134 9,200 -934 STANDOFF TARGET ACQUISITION SYSTEM .................... 69,776 --- -69,7761 NAVSTAR GLOBAL POS SYS (USER EQ) ...................... 21,002 --- -21,002 The budget request included amounts for a number of programs which exceeded by unjustifiably large percentages the amounts provided for fiscal year 1981.

The Committee supports the modernization of chemical and biological warfare capabilities, both offensive and defensive. There is some concern that very large funding increases may not be able to be absorbed in these programs as effectively and efficiently as is desirable. The Committee recommends a reduc- tion of $2,000,000, resulting in a recommended total of $18,528,000. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Army request included $130,000 for work on ring laser gyros, which is duplicative of research already conducted, and which the Committee therefore denies. The recommended total for Aircraft Avionics Technology is $5,977,000. The Committee recommends adding $2,500,000 above the budget for research and development in small arms. The recommended total for Small Caliber and Fire Control Technology is $11,016,000. The Committee denies $167,000 requested for research on a food system for ground mode of the MX, and recommends a total of $5,569,000 for Joint Service Food Systems Technology. The Army requests of $7,773,000 for Synthetic Flight Simulators, and $8,333,000 for Training Systems included funds to accelerate development of a simulator for the AH-64. This work is clearly premature. The Committee recommends a reduction of $4,027,000, leaving a total of $3,746,000 for Synthetic Flight Simulators and a reduction of $5,253,000, leaving a total of $3,080,000 for Synthetic Flight Training Systems. ADVANCED DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATIC TEST EQUIPMENT/SYSTEMS The Army proposed reducing this program $9,000,000 from the original fiscal year 1982 budget submitted in March. The Commit- tee believes that development of automatic test equipment should be a priority effort, given the growing complexity of Army systems, and that the proposed decrease is unwise. The Committee recom- mends providing $14,355,000 for Advanced Development of Auto- matic Test Equipment/Systems, the originally budgeted amount. For Electric Power Sources, the Army budgeted, and the Com- mittee recommends, the authorized amount of $5,085,000. However,, the Committee is concerned that an important new technology, the free piston Stirling engine, has not been funded in this program. This-technology has the potential to provided a quiet, low cost method of producing electric power for the tactical forces in the field. The Committee directs that $2,000,000 of the total amount provided be devoted to work on the free piston Stirling engine, and invites the Army to submit a reprogramming action expeditiously for whatever additional funds are required to adequately support this initiative. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Army requested funds for research in recruiting. It appears that the Army is meeting its recruiting goals, and that less empha- sis is needed on recruiting and more on retention. The Committee recommends a total of $3,614,000 for Manpower and Personnel, a reduction of $1,000,000 from the budget request. The Army continues to pursue two ECCM technologies in the Single Channel Ground/Airborne Radio Sub-System, despite ample evidence that only one of them will meet the threat. The Commit- tee recommends a total of $12,225,000 for SINCGARS, a reduction of $3,000,000 from the budget request. AIRDROP EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT The Army requested $200,000 for a project related to the CX program, which has not been authorized. The Committee recom- mends a total of $2,926,000 for Airdrop Equipment Development, a reduction of $200,000 from the budget request. The Army budgeted $10,312,000 for Aircraft Weapons, the bulk of which was for advanced development of radar and fire control for attack helicopters. The technology being pursued appears to duplicate work in other on-going millimeter wave programs. The Committee suggests that this project be deferred pending transfer of more mature technology from these other programs. The Com- mittee recommends a reduction of $9,800,000, resulting in a recom- mended total for Aircraft Weapons of $512,000. For reasons discussed in the classified annex to this report, the Committee recommends a total of $30,547,000 for Joint Tactical Fusion Program, a reduction of $8,000,000 from the budget request. The budget request included $3,183,000 for a system which the Army has subsequently determined will not be ready to enter engineering development in fiscal year 1982. The Committee rec- ommends a reduction of that amount, providing a total of $4,963,000 for Landmine Warfare. For reasons discussed at the beginning of the RDT&E section of this report, the Committee disagrees with the reductions related to RPV's which the Army proposed in its latest revision to the fiscal year 1982 budget. The Committee recommends that this program be funded at its originally budgeted level. The recommended total for Remotely Piloted Vehicles is $73,348,000. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 AN/MLQ-33 The Army requested funds for continued development of AN/ MLQ-33, a system the Army does not intend to procure, and one which its own internal studies show has no value. The Committee directs immediate termination of AN/MLQ-33, and recommends providing $2,295,000 for termination costs. The Army requested $14,869,000 for Maneuver Control System. The Committee is concerned that the Army is proposing to do more paper studies, and analyses of system architectures. The evidence strongly indicates that solid, practical experience and knowledge are being gained from operational field tests in Europe using the TCT and TCS equipments. It appears to the Committee that more practical experience, and less paper study, is what the Army needs to solve its maneuver control problems. The Committee recom- mends a total of $11,000,000 for Maneuver Control System, and directs that $10,000,000 of that sum be used to purchase additional TCT and TCS equipment so that field testing and data gathering can be expanded, and that $1,000,000 of that sum be used for developing and monitoring these field tests. DARCOM MAJOR RANGE/TEST FACILITIES The Army budgeted $292,109,000 for DARCOM Major Range/ Test Facilities, an increase of 35 percent over the $217,397,000 provided last year. It does not appear that the volume of new work to be done has increased greatly over last year. At the same time, the Committee agrees that the Army should continue to reduce the backlog of unfinished work and to modernize its facilities. For this reason, a substantial increase over fiscal year 1981 funding is rec- ommended. The recommended total for DARCOM Major Range/ Test Facilities is $270,000,000. The Army request included $7,800,000 for laboratory equipment upgrades, which the Committee believes can be effected over a two year period, rather than one. Accordingly, the Committee recom- mends a total of $63,915,000 for Program-Wide Activities, a reduc- tion of $3,900,000 from the budget request. For reasons explained at the beginning of the RDT&E section of this report, the Committee recommends a total of $43,107,000 for Joint Tactical Communications, a reduction of $5,000,000 from the budget request. The Committee denies $180,000 requested for work on a MOUT weapon, and directs the Army to use the SMAW weapon under development by the Marine Corps. The Committee is determined that needless and costly duplication of this sort shall be eliminated. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Committee agrees with concerns expressed by GAO concern- ing development of components for an improved TACFIRE system. The Committee directs the Army to perform cost-benefit studies of using existing equipments, including TCT/TCS and Marine Corps MIFASS components, as alternatives to developing new compo- nents. The Committee directs the Army to make known its plans before any major new efforts are undertaken in the development of nucle- ar warheads. The Committee directs the Army to inform it of further actions it intends to take which have the purpose of ensuring close coordi- nation and joint planning of Army/USDA food and nutrition re- search. Last year the Committee requested a study of the feasibility and requirement for a helicopter escape system. The Army has in- formed the Committee that it has work of higher priority to be done, and will not accomplish the requested study until December 1982. The Committee directs that a final report be issued not later than June 30, 1982. The following schedule shows the budget estimate, the recom- mended appropriation, and the change from the budget estimate (in thousands of dollars) for fiscal year 1982: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Budget Committee Change from Request Recommended Request --------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- IN-HOUSE LAB INDEPENDENT RESEARCH ..................... 21,560 21,560 --- DEFENSE RESEARCH SCIENCES ............................. 161,811 152,405 -9,406 MATERIALS ............................................. 10,482 10,482 --- ATMOSPHERIC INVESTIGATIONS ............................ 5,547 5,547 --- FUZE/NUCLEAR WPNS EFFECTS/FLUIDICS .................... 5,240 5,240 --- AIRCRAFT WEAPONS TECHNOLOGY ........................... 2,290 2,000 -290 AIRCRAFT AVIONICS TECHNOLOGY .......................... 6,107 5,977 -130 AERONAUTICAL TECHNOLOGY ............................... 18,086 18,086 --- AIRDROP TECHNOLOGY .................................... 1,543 1,543 --- MISSILE TECHNOLOGY .................................... 30,134 30,134 --- HIGH ENERGY LASER TECHNOLOGY .......................... 24,956 21,456 -3,500 TANK AND AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY ........................ 14,685 14,685 --- SMALL CAL AND FIRE CNTRL TECHNOLOGY ................... 8,516 11,016 42,500 BALLISTICS TECHNOLOGY ................................. 23,912 21,912 -2,000 CHEMICAL MUNITIONS/CHEMICAL CMBT SPT .................. 20,528 18,528 -2,000 COMMUNICATIONS TECH ................................... 7,567 7,567 --- CMBT SURV TARGET ACO/ID ............................... 2,217 2,217 --- NIL ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA DEV ........................ 2,763 2,763 --- ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES ..................... 15,298 15,298 --- CHEM BIOLOGICAL DEF/GEN INVEST ........................ 22,970 20,000 -2,970 MAPPING - GEODESY ..................................... 5,758 5,758 --- NIGHT VISION INVESTIGATIONS ........................... 13,190 13,190 --- HUMAN FACTORS ENGR IN SYS DEV ......................... 8.568 8.568 HUMAN PERFORMANCE EFFECT/SIMULATION ................... 3,380 3,380 --- MOBILITY AND WEAPONS EFFECTS TECH ..................... 6,275 6,275 --- ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY TECH ............................ 8,481 7.500 -981 MANPOWER/PERSONNEL/TRAINING ........................... 5,937 5,937 CLOTHING EQUIP AND SHELTER TECH ....................... 5,586 5,586 JT SVC FOOD SYS TECH .................................. 5,736 5,569 COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE ...................... 1,797 1,797 NON-SYSTEM TRAINING DEVICES ........................... 2,665 2,665 COLD REGIONS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY ................... 5,451 5,451 MILITARY FACILITIES ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY ............ 3,402 3,402 MOBILITY EQUIPMENT TECHNOLOGY ......................... 10,189 10,189 NED DEFENSE AGAINST CHEM AGENTS ....................... 23,252 23,252 TACTICAL ADP TECH ..................................... 8,053 8,053 MILITARY DISEASE HAZARDS TECH ......................... 17,156 17,156 COMBAT CASUALTY CARE TECH ............................. 6,764 6,764 COMBAT MAXILLOFACIAL INJURY ........................... 1,476 1,476 SYSTEMS HEALTH HAZARD PREVENT TECH .................... 15,529 14,000 ENERGY TECH APPL FOR MILITARY FACIL ................... 1.479 1.479 CLASSIFIED PROGRAMS ................................... 29,726 29,546 -180 ------------ ------------ ------------ MATERIALS SCALE-UP ..................................... 5.426 4,000 -1,426 FUELS AND LUBRICANTS .................................. 1,308 1,308 --- AIRCRAFT POWER PLANTS AND PROPULSION .................. 2,969 2,969 - -- AIRCRAFT WEAPONS ...................................... 10,312 512 -9,800 AIRCRAFT AVIONICS EQUIPMENT ........................... 2,320 2.320 --- AIR MOBILITY SUPPORT .................................. 1,810 1,810 ROTARY WING CONTROLS/ROTORS/STRUCTURES ................ 28,520 28,520 --- SYNTHETIC FLIGHT SIMULATORS ........................... 7,773 3,746 -4,027 AIRDROP EQUIP AND TECHNIQUES .......................... 2,702 2,702 --- HOE AVIATION'AND NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT... .............. 5,092 2,348 -2,744 TERMINALLY GUIDED PROJECTILES ......................... --- 2,000 42,000 MSL/ROCKET COMPONENTS ................................. 311 311 --- ADVANCED LAND MOB SYSTEMS CONCEPTS .................... 9,242 9,242 --- LANDMINE WARFARE/BARRIER DEV .......................... 10,799 10,799 --- COMBAT VEHICLE PROPULSION SYS ......................... 12,935 12,935 --- CMBT VEH TURRET AND CHASSIS SUBSYS ....................

The Committee accordingly recom- mends the following reductions: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Surf/Aero Target Surv ....................................................................... 35,536 -2,992 32,544 Human Factors/Simulation ................................................................. 7,973 -1,195 6,778 Logistics Technology .......................................................................... 14,603 -1,731 12,872 Adv Marine Bio .................................................................................. 4,089 -300 3,789 Training Device Tech .......................................................................... 8,252 - ;Q0 7,552 Acft Surv/Vuln ................................................................................... 10,825 -1,000 9,825 Studies & Anal (MC) ......................................................................... 4,049 -549 3,500 Civ Trng/Educ .................................................................................... 1,290 -290 1,000 COMMAND/CONTROL TECHNOLOGY The Navy budgeted $1,800,000 for continued development of the S-1 computer. The Committee repeats its guidance of last year that no more funds will be provided for this project. The Committee recommends a reduction of $1,800,000 from Command/Control Technology. DIRECTED ENERGY TECHNOLOGY The Committee agrees with concerns expressed by the House Armed Services Committee that high technology efforts, such as those in the Navy's Directed Energy program, should remain under the cognizance of DARPA. The Committee recommends a total of $3,360,000 for Directed Energy Technology, a reduction of $3,633,000 from the budget request. STRATIFIED CHARGE ROTARY COMBUSTION ENGINE Since 1977, the Marine Corps has been pursuing development of a stratified charge rotary combustion engine. Because this technol- ogy offers promise for improved fuel economy and use of a variety of fuels, the . Committee believes that it should continue to be pursued. The Committee recommends that $9,500,000 be provided above the budget for Marine Corps Stratified Charge Rotary Com- bustion Engine. TACTICAL C3 COUNTERMEASURES This program included $500,000 for a Marine Corps project, the ZUNI Expendable Jammer, which has been cancelled. The Commit- tee recommends a* reduction of $500,000 for Tactical C3 Counter- measures. ARMY/NAVY SAM TECHNOLOGY The Committee recommends this program be funded at the level originally contained in the budget, a figure agreed upon jointly by the Navy and OSD. The Committee recommends a total of $11,000,000 for Army/Navy SAM Technology. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 ADVANCED DATA COMMAND SYSTEMS This program, originally cancelled by the Navy for fiscal year 1981 and beyond, is being reinstated after a year's interruption. The Committee recommends $2,655,000 for Advanced Data Com- mand Systems, one half the requested amount. RETRACT SILVER The Committee recommends that no funds be provided for Re- tract Silver. ATTACK SUBMARINE DEVELOPMENT Of funds requested for Attack Submarine Development, approxi- mately one half were for conceptual work on a new class SSN, an effort which the Navy has abandoned. The Committee recommends a reduction of $5,000,000, which leaves a total of $4,968,000 for continued work on improvements to the SSN-688 class submarine. DIESEL ELECTRIC SUBMARINES The Committee is concerned with the long term prospects for maintaining needed inventories of attack submarines. The Navy testified that it desires an attack submarine inventory of between 130 and 140. However, our current inventory of these critically important weapons is only 90, and in the period between 1989 and 1999, 45 are scheduled for retirement. It appears overly optimistic to project that the Navy could devote sufficient shipbuilding funds to replacing these submarines entirely with nuclear powered craft. Thus the Committee recommends $2,500,000 be added above the budget for examination of using diesel electric submarines as a complement to our nuclear attack force. While the Committee recognizes that for many demanding missions there is no substitute for nuclear submarines, there may well be missions for which lower cost diesel vessels are capable, thus freeing nuclear subma- rines for missions to which they are uniquely suited. The Committee expects the Navy to make a detailed evaluation of the offer from the West German HDW firm to provide a diesel design that could be produced in U.S. shipyards and to examine other potential design options that are available. The Navy is requested to provide a report on its evaluation to the Committee no later than May 1, 1982. MK-48 ADCAP The Committee is deeply concerned over the significant cost increases in the MK-48 ADCAP program. Consequently, the Com- mittee directs that the Navy conduct a "Should Cost Study" of the ADCAP program, and present it to the Committee no later than March 1, 1982. Additionally, the Navy is directed not to obligate or expend funds provided for the MK-48 ADCAP program until 30 days after the Secretary of the Navy states in writing to the Committee the costs and schedules of the restructured program, his satisfaction that these are fixed with reasonable certainty, and his belief that eventual procurement will be affordable. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Concerns have been expressed that reduced funding for the DDGX will cause program officials to reduce or eliminate efforts related to modularized design and to data buss multiplexing. These efforts, of the type embodied in the SSES and Shipboard Multiplex programs, should remain integral to the DDGX and future ship designs, and are key in reducing support and overhaul costs. The Committee desires that the DDGX program maintain these efforts at approximately the same levels as originally planned, and re- quests that progress and funding in these areas be specifically discussed in annual reports on the DDGX. MARINE CORPS INTELLIGENCE/EW (ADVANCED) The Marines requested $357,000 for a new battlefield radar, an effort which should be foregone in favor of pursuing product im- provements of the AN/PPS-15 jointly with the Army. The Marines requested $301,000 for a seismic sensor project which has been delayed two years. The Committee recommends a total of $2,209,000 for Marine Corps Intelligence/EW (Advanced), a reduc- tion of $658,000 from the budget request. MOORED SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM The Rapid Deployable Surveillance System has experienced tech- nical difficulties, schedule slippage, and cost growth. The Navy originally did not fund RDSS in the fiscal year 1982 budget because it appeared to be unaffordable and lacked sufficient priority. The Committee recommends a reduction of $6,000,000. The resulting total of $5,000,000, together with unobligated prior year funds, will adequately fund the program while the Navy reexamines the strength of its commitment to this program. AVIONICS DEVELOPMENT/VAST The Committee finds that an unjustifiably large amount has been requested for continued R&D on the AN/AYK-14 computer, a device which has been operational since 1977. The Committee rec- ommends a total of $10,357,000 for Avionics Development/VAST, a reduction of $4,687,000 from the budget request. The Marines requested $5,229,000 to begin development of a new transport helicopter to replace the CH-46 and CH-53 A/D. The Committee is concerned that this program, which the Marines say could cost as much as $2,400,000,000 to develop, would be unafford- able. Further, a new production program has been announced for building CH-53E's to replace existing assets. That program in- cludes 94 CH-53E's for the Marines, which should provide ade- quately for their needs. The Committee recommends that no funds be provided for HXM Helicopter. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 SHIP DEVELOPMENT (ENGINEERING) The Committee denies the Navy's request of $22,000,000 for survey and estimating work on inactive carriers. The Committee directs that $2,000,000 of the funds provided be used for survey inspection and cost estimating work associated with possible reacti- vation of Des Moines class cruisers now in mothballs at the Phila- delphia Navy Shipyard. SUBMARINE WARFARE TRAINING DEVICES The Navy requested $1,831,000 for evaluation of the Submarine Advanced Reactive Tactical Training System (SMARTTS). The Committee is concerned that the development cost for this system has doubled. The Committee recommends that no funds be pro- vided for SMARTTS, and that any additional evaluation be carried on within existing funds. The recommended total for Submarine Warfare Training Devices is $4,553,000. C2 SURVEILLANCE/RECONN SUPPORT For reasons explained in the classified annex to this report, the Committee recommends a reduction of $2,465,000 for C2 Surveil- lance/Reconn Support. JOINT TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS For reasons discussed at the beginning of the RDT&E section of this report, the Committee recommends reductions of $750,000 in Joint Tactical Communications, Marine Corps and $2,000,000 in Joint Tactical Communications, Navy. SECURITY/ INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES The Committee finds, as it did last year, that this Navy request is for developments which duplicate those pursued by civilian in- vestigative and law enforcement agencies. The Committee recom- mends no funds be provided for Security/Investigative Activities. AIM-7M TEST AND EVALUATION Technical problems with the AIM-7M have necessitated addition- al test and evaluation activities. The Committee recommends pro- viding $5,000,000 above the budget for this purpose. PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT The Navy requested $13,508,000 to begin a new program intend- ed to increase the productivity of its R&D laboratories. This is a worthy goal, and one which the Committee supports. However, until objective criteria are developed and more information is ob- tained on potential paybacks, the Committee believes that a small- er pilot program will be adequate. The Committee recommends a total of $6,508,000 for Productivity Enhancement. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 CONSULTANTS, ANALYSES, AND STUDIES For reasons explained earlier in this report, the Committee rec- ommends a reduction of $48,000,000 from the RDT&E, Navy ac- count to be applied against consultants, analyses and studies. GAS TURBINE FUEL EFFICIENCY - Many Navy vessels are powered by the LM-2500 gas turbine engine. Because increased fuel efficiency would result in substan- tial savings in operating costs, the Committee believes that RDT&E efforts to investigate such a possibility will be a wise investment. The Committee recommends that $7,000,000 be provided above the budget for Gas Turbine Fuel Efficiency. SPECIAL WARFARE CRAFT The Committee concurs with the recommendation of the Author- ization Conference that $2,000,000 be added for Research and De- velopment of a Special Warfare Craft. The Committee agrees that a requirement exists for the development of a small missile boat capability and directs the Navy to evaluate two or more design alternatives. MEDIUM DEPTH MINE The Medium Depth Mine is a mine that could be used at depths between those which current generation shallow and deep water assets are employed by naval forces. The Navy is currently assess- ing development acceleration of a Medium Depth Mine as this capability could enhance the overall ASW environment. The Captor Deep Water Mine is a moored influence activated antisub- marine mine whose operational envelope covers submarine targets at all water depths. The Committee expects the Navy to submit their analysis on the need to employ a Medium Depth Mine, in- cluding an evaluation of developing a Captor Mine variant in par- tially meeting the medium depth requirement. This report should include disclosure of mission characteristics, as well as any cost and schedule advantage in developing a Captor Mine variant. EXTENDING LIFE OF SUBROC SUBROC is a nuclear depth bomb and is presently the only antisubmarine stand off weapon carried by U.S. attack submarines. The new ASW stand off weapon is scheduled to begin replacing SUBROC by the late 1980s. However, the Navy's acquisition pro- gram for the ASW stand off weapon was recently restructured and is currently experiencing cost overruns and anticipated schedule delays. The Committee is concerned the Navy will not meet its planned IOC for the ASW stand off weapon and should carefully consider supplementing the planned service life extension program Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 for SUBROC by ensuring compatibility -of all SSN fire control systems with the SUBROC system and extending the service life of the full inventory of the weapon. This expansion will provide a credible nuclear stand off weapon capability until the new stand off weapon enters the fleet. The SUBROC life extension action would significantly lessen any additional military input as a result of any further delays in the IOC of the new standoff weapon. The Committee expects a full report on the Navy's extended refurbish- ment plan, its impact on lessening the gap caused by any delays in the ASW/SOW program and cost and refurbishment schedule in- formation. ASW STAND OFF WEAPON The ASW Stand Off Weapon SOW System was approved by the Secretary of Defense in 1980 and is intended to develop a long range anti-submarine weapon by the late 1980s. Navy testimony defined an acquisition strategy that implied a competitive identifi- cation and exploration of alternative design concepts including an actual live firing during the development and validation phase. However, the strategy selected by the Navy was not directed at these expanded objectives and a single contractor was selected for the development process. The Committee believes this is an alter- ation in the program's direction and source selection criteria are not sufficiently justifiable in making a single source award. Fur- ther, the Committee believes this program as structured currently has high risk and experience has shown that sole source procure- ment carries a significant cost penalty. The Committee believes procurement rates and inventory objectives for the ASW/SOW pro- gram fully justify. qualification for second source production. The Committee expects a full report on Navy plans for developing second source production, including current and projected program costs, and scheduling data. The Committee restates its strong support for this program, which will provide a substantial increase in the antiair warfare capability of the MK 92 fire control system through the addition of a new four-faced, x-band phased array radar to the system for use on the FFG-7 class frigates. The primary aim in this program's development should be the earliest possible introduction of this system into the fleet. To date, the start of this program has been unacceptably delayed. Therefore, the committee requests that this program be executed without further delay. Special emphasis should be given to the early development of the phased array radar. The committee also requests that the MK 92 upgrade program be assigned a separate program element. FLEET TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS The budget included a request of funds for a program entitled Fleet Tactical Communications R. & D. This program provides a phased approach to provide secure, anti jam voice and data commu- nications in Navy ships and tactical aircraft. The Committee notes Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 that similar anti jam communications programs are underway in the Army and the Air Force. The Committee supports the need for anti jam communications. However, the Committee has concerns regarding the coordination of service goals for these programs. Therefore, the Committee will closely .monitor the Fleet Tactical Communications program and other such DOD programs to assure that a cost-effective and oper- ationally-effective approach is taken in reconciling individual serv- ice goals with joint needs. A-6 SQUADRONS The Navy budgeted $9,978,000 for A-6 Squadrons, to be used to continue development of the All Weather Standoff Attack Control System (AWSACS). The Committee fully supports this important system, and does not agree with recent proposals to fund AWSACS at a lesser amount in fiscal year 1982. The Committee recommends the budget request, and directs the Navy to use the full appropri- ated amount for AWSACS. EXTREMELY LOW FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS The Committee held extensive hearings on strategic communica- tions, including an examination of recent proposals by the Admin- istration to revive the Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Communi- cations System. The most recent configuration is for a system significantly less capable than that originally envisioned. The Com- mittee notes that the Chief of Naval Operations testified earlier in the year that going forward with ELF was not essential at this time because no threat has emerged to cause concern over the survivability of our SSBN force. The Committee also notes testimo- ny that the proposed system is vulnerable, and cannot be expected, to survive in wartime. The Committee concludes that ELF is an outmoded concept in search of a mission and should not be contin- ued. The Committee recommends no funds for Extremely Low Fre- quency Communications. The Committee recommends providing $34,000,000 for 'the NAV- STAR Global Positioning System in Navy RDT&E, the authorized amount. This action is consistent with the Committee's recommen- dation to provide the authorized amount in Air Force RDT&E for NAVSTAR. The following schedule shows the budget estimate, the recom- mended appropriation, and the change from the budget estimate (in thousands of dollars) for fiscal year 1982: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Budget Committee Change from Request Recommended Request ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN-HOUSE LAB INDEPENDENT RESEARCH ..................... 21,363 21,363 --- DEFENSE RESEARCH SCIENCES ............................. 260,611 251,572 -9,039 AIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGY ................................... 30,198 25,000 -5,198 MISSILE PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY ......................... 10,042 10,042 --- STRIKE WARFARE WEAPONRY TECHNOLOGY .................... 21,283 21,283 --- NUCLEAR PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY ......................... 47,633 47,633 --- SHIPS/SUBS/BOATS TECH ................................. 40:953 40,953 --- UNDERSEA WARFARE WEAPONRY TECHNOLOGY................. 23,360 23,360 --- UNDERSEA TARGET SURVEILLANCE .......................... 38,531 38,531 --- SURF/AEROSPACE TARGET SURVEIL TECH .................... 35,536 32,544 -2,992 COMMAND/CONTROL TECHNOLOGY ............................ 30,312 29,299 -1,013 COUNTERMEASURES TECHNOLOGY ............................ 27,438 27,438 --- HIGH ENERGY LASER ..................................... 57,973 57,973 --- HUMAN FACTORS/SIMULATION TECH ......................... 7:973 6:778 -1:195 BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY ................................. 10,846 9,663 -1,183 OCEAN/ATMOSPHERIC SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY .................. 23,594 23,594 --- LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGY .................................. 14,603 12,872 -1,731 MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY .................................. 32,428 32,428 --- ELECTRONIC DEVICE TECHNOLOGY .......................... 25,346 25,346 --- PERSONNEL SPT TECH .................................... 6,507 6,507 --- CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE TECH ...................... 1,541 1,541 --- ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ................... 8,171 8,171 --- LAB INDEPENDENT EXPLORATORY DEV ....................... 10,187 10,187 --- DIRECTED ENERGY TECHNOLOGY ............................ 6,993 3,360 -3,633 ------------ ------------ ------------ TOTAL.

The recommendation is a reduction of $322,190,000 below the budget estimate, and is $1,418,223,000 more than the appropriation pro- vided in fiscal year 1981. AUTHORIZATION CHANGES The Committee recommends the following changes in the budget estimate, in accordance with changes recommended by the authori- zation conference: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Budget Committee Change from Request Recommended Request ------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- COUNTER SUAWACS TECHNOLOGY PROG ....................... 9,000 --- -9,000 ADVANCED WARNING SYSTEMS .............................. 12,400 10,000 -2,400 SPACE SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY ......................... 28,800 23,800 -5,000 B-52 SQUADRONS ........................................ 124,500 96,000 -28,500 ADVANCED TACTICAL FIGHTER ............................. 10,100 --- -10,100 EF-111A ............................................... 14,200 9,200 -5,000 NIGHT PRECISION ATTACK ................................ 59,600 87,600 +28,000 AIR-LAUNCHED ASSAULT BREAKER .......................... 36,100 24,100 -12,000 F-16 SQUADRONS ........................................ 42,200 57,500 +15,300 SIMULATOR VALIDATION (SIMVAL) ......................... 1,400 --- -1,400 NAVSTAR GPS USER EQUIPMENT ............................ 166,100 166,000 -100 DEVELOPMENT PLANNING .................................. 2,200 --- -2,200 ALTERNATE FIGHTER ENGINE .............................. 35,000 35,000 --- ACQUISITION AND COMMAND SUPPORT ....................... 259,400 253,000 -6,400 The budget request included amounts for a number of programs which exceeded by unjustifiably large percentages the amounts provided for fiscal year 1981.

Of the $15,000,000 provided for this program last year, the Air Force reprogrammed $4,200,000 for other higher priority purposes. It ap- pears to the Committee that a lesser amount for this program is required. The Committee recommends a total of $15,000,000 for Advanced Avionics, a reduction of $2,100,000. CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS The Air Force budget request for Conventional Weapons in- creased by 29 percent between the January and March submittals without satisfactory explanation. The Committee recommends a total of $21,300,000 for Conventional Weapons, a reduction of $2,000,000 from the budget request. VERY HIGH SPEED INTEGRATED CIRCUITS The Air Force requested $50,700,000 for Very High Speed Inte- grated Circuits (VHSIC). The Committee is informed that this im- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 271 portant program is underfunded and recommends $5,000,000 above the budget. The Committee is further informed that administrative delay has been encountered in transfer of funds by the Air Force needed to support VHSIC. The Committee expects this matter to be resolved promptly, by reprogramming of existing funds if neces- sary. The funds which have been appropriated for VHSIC are expected to be used for VHSIC. The Committee is growing increasingly concerned over the large sums being spent on laser technology, and -intends to make detailed inquiry into these programs in the future. The Committee recom- mends $70,800,000 for Advanced Radiation Technology, a reduction, of $10,000,000 from the budget request. CIVIL/ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY The Air Force requested $100,000 for a study of the climactic survivability of windmills which could be used to power the MX. The Committee recommends a total of $3,900,000 for Civil/Environ- mental Engineering Technology, a reduction of $100,000 from the budget request. The Committee agrees with concerns expressed over providing a stable. funding profile for the ABRES program. The Committee recommends a total of $100,000,000 for ABRES, an increase of $51,000,000 over the budget request. The Air Force requested $471,000,000 for Long Range Combat Aircraft (B-1). The Committee's Surveys and Investigations Staff reports that of the $260,100,000 provided for this program in fiscal year 1981, $179,100,000 remained unobligated at the end of that fiscal year. Since the Air Force intends to use these funds for tasks to be performed in fiscal year 1982, the budget request can be reduced by a like amount. The Committee recommends a reduction of $179,100,000 from the budget request, resulting in a recommend- ed total for Long Range Combat Aircraft (B-1) of $291,900,000. The Air Force budgeted $1,913,200,000 for MX. Of this amount, $1,349,000,000 was identified for R&D on the missile and $564,200,000 for R&D on basing options. Although the administra- tion has recently announced cancellation of the Multiple Protective Shelter basing mode, the Committee believes that R&D on basing modes should go forward. Work on the missile must proceed re- gardless of the basing mode eventually chosen. Further, funds must be provided if the search for a viable new basing mode is to continue. Accordingly, the Committee recommends providing $1,913,200,000, the budgeted amount. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Committee supports continuing those initiatives intended to improve the Minuteman force, and to begin development of the new Trident D-5 missile. The Air Force requested $14,700,000 for Next Generation Train- er, an aircraft intended to replace the T-37 primary trainer. A report submitted by the Air Force which explains why it cannot use the existing Navy T-34C trainer for this purpose is manifestly unsatisfactory. The Air Force is on the threshold of completely revising its training syllabus, and of requesting funds to begin development of a new Tanker Transport Bomber (TTB) trainer. 9hese considerations were omitted from the T-34C evaluation. The Committee is determined that a full and fair evaluation shall be made. The Committee denies the request for funds for Next Gen- eration Trainer. The Committee directs that an assessment be made, using available funds, of the T-34C within the new Air Force training syllabus, and the T-34C's compatibility not only with the T-38 basic trainer, but also the planned TTB trainer. The Air Force should consider getting advice and counsel from an independ- ent organization, such as Program Analysis and Evaluation in OSD, to avoid future appearances of partiality. OTHER OPERATIONAL EQUIPMENT The Air Force requested funds for a project to develop tactical shelters, although a family of such shelters is already a DoD stand- ard. The Committee recommends a total of $12,200,000 for Other Operational Equipment, a reduction of $1,000,000 from the budget request. The Air Force proposed deleting $5,200,000 for improving the B- 52D flight simulator. Consistent with its decision to deny Air Force proposals to retire B-52D's, the Committee directs that improve- ments to the B-52D flight simulator be continued. The recommend- ed total for Flight Simulator Development is $16,500,000. Last year the Committee directed that $4,500,000 of the funds appropriated for various electronic warfare programs be used to procure and test the RAPPORT III System. Subsequently the House and Senate appropriations conferees agreed that development tests should be made of the RAPPORT III System in order to provide a full and fair evaluation of the sys- tem's ability to meet the requirements of U.S. forces. Funds re- quired to procure test articles and to pay the cost of the tests were to be derived by reprogramming of available funds. To date the Department of Defense has not complied with the directions pro- vided by this Committee and the Senate Appropriations Commit- tee. . The Committee is disturbed and displeased that the direction provided last year has not been undertaken. We reiterate our Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 position of last year and stress that the Department of Defense should proceed without further delay to procure a limited number of test articles and conduct the necessary tests by reprogramming within available funds. TACTICAL COMMAND AND CONTROL MODERNIZATION The Committee is concerned the Air Force has serious deficien- cies in its tactical command and control capability which severely impacts on the tactical command and control mission. These defi- ciencies have been identified by the Air Force and defined within a Required Operational Capability (ROC) and an Air Force State- ment of Need (SON) for an improved Tactical Command and Con- trol System (TACS). The Air Force has requested funds in FY 1982 to support equipment that has evolved over the past twenty-five years. The Committee believes the Air Force should expedite meet- ing the TACS modernization requirement, including full exploita- tion of other existing service programs in order to maximize sav- ings and operational capability. The Committee expects a full report on Air Force TACS modernization plans, including cost and schedule data relating to reducing acquisition costs. For reasons explained at the beginning of the RDT&E section of this report, the Committee recommends a reduction of $3,000,000 for Joint Tactical Communications, resulting in a recommended total of $25,500,000. The Air Force requested $35,000,000 for the Alternate Fighter Engine program. In order to ensure continued competition in high thrust aircraft engines, the Committee directs that $20,000,000 be allocated to continue advanced development of the F-101 Deriva- tive Fighter Engine, and $15,000,000 be allocated for development work on increasing the thrust of the F-100 engine. The Committee reommends that $35,000,000 be provided for Alternate Fighter Engine. For reasons explained in the classified annex to this report and in a classified letter to the Secretary of Defense, the Committee recommends adjustments in the following programs: Air Launched Cruise Missile ............................................................... 69,000 +35,000 104,000 CONUS 0TH Radar ............................................................................. 21,300 -4,000 17,300 Classified, Strategic ............................................................................ 34,000 +32,400 66,400 Adv Tac Air Reconn ........................................................................... 3,000 -3,000 0 Tactical Fusion Center ........................................................................ 8,300 -3,000 5,300 Classified, Tactical .............................................................................. 95,200 +39,900 135,100 Classified, I&C .................................................................................... 918,733 +16,900 935,633 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The following schedule shows the budget estimate, the recom- mended appropriation, and the change from the budget estimate (in thousands of dollars) for fiscal year 1982: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Budget ?

The recommended amount is a reduction of $175,796,000 below the budget estimate, and is $314,256,000 more than the appropriation provided in fiscal year 1981. The budget request for Experimental Evaluation of Major Inno- vative Technology included $42,000,000 for a Korean Upgrade pro- ject which the Committee denies. The total costs of this project are unknown, its benefits uncertain, and its relationship to DARPA's mission questionable. The budget request also included $23,400,000 for work related to IMAAWS, a program cancelled by the Army. The Committee recommends that $10,000,000 be provided for this project for advanced seeker work. In summary, the Committee recommends a total $216,340,000 for this program. Total funding requested for Defense Nuclear Agency is an in- crease of 43 percent over last year. Between the January and September budget submissions, the request increased by $53,000,000 with little substantiation beyond statements that costs had gone up. The Committee recommends a total of $230,000,000 for Defense Nuclear Agency, a reduction of $58,078,000 from the budget request.

Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The Committee recommends a net reduction of $1,500,000 for Long Haul Communications, Defense Communications Agency. The net reduction includes an increase of $500,000 for Increased Circuit Reliability which is transferred from O&M, Air Force to RDT&E, Defense Agencies. A decrease of $500,000 is recommended for-PD- 53 NCS. The Committee remains open minded about the future of this program, but does not want to start any major initiatives in this area prior to analyzing the recommendations pending a review of the program by the Committee's S&I Staff. A decrease of $1,500,000 should be allocated among the various subprograms in this activity. The recommended total for this program is $18,050,000. The Committee recommends a reduction of $4,418,000 requested for MX surveys, and a recoupment of $583,000 provided in the Fiscal Year 1981 supplemental for MX surveys. Also, an addition of $1,000,000 is recommended for reasons explained in the classified annex to this report. The recommended total for Defense Mapping Agency is $21,905,000. The budget request for this program was 30 percent higher than last year, although the same workload is to be done. The Commit- tee recommends a total of $3,200,000 for Information Analysis Cen- ters, a reduction of $687,000 from the budget request. AUTHORIZATION REDUCTION, OSD AND OASD The Committee recommends a reduction of $7,103,000 to be ap- plied to OSD and OASD activities, in accordance with the authori- zation conference.

Such expenditures are au- thorized by 80 Stat. 990. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 GENERAL PROVISIONS The accompanying bill includes 91 general provisions. Of these provisions, 68 were included in the Department of Defense Appro- priation Bill for fiscal year 1981 and many have been included in the Defense Appropriation Act for a number of years. Of the 76 general provisions contained in the Act for fiscal year 1981, eight have been deleted. Twenty-three new provisions have been added to the bill for fiscal year 1982. The action taken on- the various budget recommended proposals regarding the general provisions carried in the bill and other changes being recommended by the Committee are discussed below: _ The committee agrees to a new subsection (m) in Section 708, as -proposed in the budget, which would allow payments for depot maintenance contracts for 12 months beginning at any time during the fiscal year. The committee recommends a new subsection (n) in Section 708, which allows payment of unusual cost overruns incident to ship overhaul, maintenance, and repair for ships inducted into industri- al fund activities or contracted for in prior fiscal years provided the Secretary of Defense notifies Congress prior to obligation of such payment. The committee recommends a new subsection (o) in Section 708, which allows for payments from annual appropriations to industri- al fund activities and/or under contract for changes in scope of ship overhaul, maintenance, and repair after expiration of such appropriations, for such work either. inducted into the industrial fund activities or contracted for in that fiscal year. The committee agrees to delete subsection (k) in Section 709, as proposed in the budget, because availability of appropriations for expenses of arrangements with foreign governments for cryptologic support is now permanent law. The committee agrees to delete, as proposed in the budget, the section which .provided funds to be.available for operating expenses of messes because it is contained in permanent law. The. budget requested the deletion of the proviso contained in Section 719 which prohibited the conversion of heating plants from coal to oil at defense facilities in Europe. The committee recom- mends restoring the proviso in section 719 and also restores section 737. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 PROCUREMENT LIMITATIONS The committee recommends additional language in Section 723 which prohibited the military clothing sales stores from purchasing option uniform items from foreign manufacturers. The budget requested the deletion of the test program for excep- -i tions of payment of a price differential on contracts hereafter made for the purpose of relieving economic dislocations for certain con- tracts not involving fuel by the Defense Logistics Agency. The committee recommends restoring the above language but changed the cumulative value to $5 billion. LEGISLATIVE LIAISON ACTIVITIES The budget proposed to increase the amount authorized for legis- lative liaison activities from $7.5 million last year to $8 million. The committee did not agree to such change. The Department of Defense Appropriation Act has for a number of years contained a provision allowing for the transfer of funds between the various appropriation accounts. Section 733 of the accompanying bill continues this provision in fiscal year 1982. Prior to 1972, the transfer of funds was restricted to appropri- ations in the Act. Between 1972 and 1978 the provision was changed so that transfers were permitted from any funds available to the Department of Defense. In fiscal year 1979, the Congress reverted to the original language by reinserting the words "in this Act." This was done because the Department had been using this provision to give new life to funds about to expire and initiate development and procurement programs, contrary to the intent of Congress. For the past three years, the budget has proposed that the words "in this Act" be deleted. The Committee recommends again this year that the words "in this Act" be retained in order to maintain discipline in budget execution and avoid the abuses of the past. In fiscal year 1982, the budget also proposed that the ceiling on total transfers be raised from $750,000,000 to $1,000,000,000. The Committee likewise recommends denial of this request. Section 733 of the accompanying bill retains the $750,000,000 limitation. FEDERAL EMPLOYEES COMPENSATION FUND The budget proposed the deletion of this general provision which placed a limitation on the amount of Defense funds that can be paid to the fund. The committee recommends restoring the general provision but increased the amount from $192.8 million to $206.1 million. CIVILIAN HEALTH AND MEDICAL PROGRAM OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES The committee recommends a proviso to section 741 which allows personnel who have separate health insurance coverage covering 75 percent to utilize CHAMPUS benefits in lieu of seeking a waiver Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 from using a military medical facility within a 40-mile radius of the patient's residence. The committee agrees to delete language, as proposed in the budget, which authorized a test program to determine whether it is cost effective to allow direct, independent reimbursement to certi- fied psychiatric nurses, other than certified nurse practitioners, and certified clinical social workers. The committee recommends deleting a section which permitted a test to evaluate a capitation approach to providing medical care because the test has been completed. Since fiscal year 1978, the Department of Defense Appropriation Act has had a general provision requiring the deposit of free assets in the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts. Free assets are receipts received by the Department as a result of sales of military equip- ment (usually to a foreign customer) which does not have to be replaced. The fiscal year 1982 budget proposed that the phrase "unless provided by statute enacted during the First. Session of the Ninety-seventh Congress" be inserted. This was consistent with an Administration proposal to use free assets to buy additional equip- ment for future foreign sales. The Committee has serious reserva- tions about the advisability of such a proposal on the grounds of budget control and backdoor spending. In addition, it is highly doubtful that the proposed legislation will be enacted in the re- maining days of this session. Therefore, the Committee recom- mends denial of the proposed change. The language in Section 748 of the accompanying bill is identical to that included in appropri- ation acts since 1978. SENIOR RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING CORPS The committee agrees to change the wording of section 749, as proposed in the budget, because required standards were revised during fiscal year 1981. The committee agrees to delete, as proposed in the budget, the general provision which prohibited the expansion of the competi- tive rate program to Alaska and Hawaii. The committee recommends amending section 752 to allow funds appropriated for the Reserve to remain available until September 30, 1983. DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT LOAN GUARANTEES The budget proposed the deletion of the general provision which permitted the Department to make guarantees and requested simi- lar language under the new heading "Defense Production Guaran- tees." The committee again sees no reason for this change and recommends the retention of section 755. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 UNDERGRADUATE HELICOPTER PILOT TRAINING The committee agrees to delete, as proposed in the budget, the general provision prohibiting funds for the consolidation or realign- ment of advanced or undergraduate pilot training squadrons of the Navy. There are no proposals pending to consolidate or realign such training. OBLIGATIONS INCURRED IN ANTICIPATION OF APPROPRIATIONS The committee recommends continuation of the general provi- sion, section 756, which states that all obligations incurred in an- ticipation of the appropriations and authorized provided in this Act are hereby ratified and confirmed if otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The budget requested the deletion of this language, but the committee recommends restoring it because the fiscal year 1982 bill did not become law prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. The committee agrees to the more restrictive language which allows abortions only if the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, as proposed in the budget. The committee agreed to the deletion, as proposed in the budget, of this provision which prohibited the payment of a military dis- ability annuity to anyone who retired from both military and civil- ian positions for the same disability because it is now permanent law. The Committee does not agree to the budget proposal to delete the general provision which requires the Department to charge a fair market price for items of insignia purchased by the Depart- ment of Defense for resale. The committee does not agree to the budget proposal to delete the general provision which requires all new audit on expenditures be resolved within six months after completing initial audit report. FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY CLAIMS The committee does not agree to the budget proposal to delete the general provision which prohibits funding of anticipatory pos- session compensation claims between the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany, other than those listed in a 1973 agreement. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The committee does not agree to the budget proposal which instructs the Department to improve collection of overdue debts owed the United States., The committee does not agree to the budget proposal to delete the general provision which prohibits funds for medical care in the United States on an inpatient basis for foreign military and diplo- matic personnel and their dependents. FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS, DEFENSE The committee agrees to delete the general provision, as pro- posed in the budget, which removed the military personnel ac- counts from coverage by the Foreign Currency Fluctuations, De- fense appropriation because it is now permanent law. The committee does not agree to the budget proposal to change the general provision which prohibits funds for second career train- ing of air traffic controllers under Public Law 96-347. The committee does not agree to the budget proposal to. delete the general provision which prohibits funds for the purposes of demilitarization of small firearms. The committee agrees, as proposed in the budget, to add a gener- al provision (Section 769) which would prevent paying for an in- creased salary based upon a teacher having obtained an education level of fifteen additional hours of education beyond a bachelor's degree. The committee agrees, as proposed in the budget, to add a gener- al provision (Section 770) which would impose a 4.8 percent pay cap on the teachers in the school system during the school year 1981- 82. The committee recommends a general provision (Section 771) which would prevent an adjustment in teachers' pay in excess of 4.8 percent for August and September 1981, the first two months of the 1981-82 school year, as proposed in the budget. However, the committee changed the wording to include the months August through December 1981. The committee agrees to delete, as proposed in the budget, a general provision which gave this property to the State of Maine for public purposes because it became permanent law. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The committee agrees to delete, as proposed in the budget, the general provision which allowed cash awards to be paid not with- standing a member's death, separation, or retirement from the Armed Forces because it is now permanent law. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 772) which would insure the committee's full participation in deci- sions to initiate multiyear contracts for major weapons systems. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 773) which would eliminate the loopholes in the language con- tained in the FY 1981 supplemental act which precluded funds appropriated from being available to reimburse defense contractors for the cost of commercial insurance which would cover the cost of correcting the contractors' own defects in materials and workman- ship incident to the normal course of construction. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 774) which would permit full reimbursement of subsistence ex- penses to enlisted personnel in a travel status while prohibiting double payment for the same expenses. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 775) which would round military retirement service credit to the nearest month for any portion of a year in excess of six months. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 776) which would limit rental reimbursement to the General Serv- ices Administration to 50 percent of the Standard Level User Charge. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 777) which would exclude the 5.2 percent active duty catch-up raise from the base for calculating military retired pay. PAY CAP FOR GUARD AND RESERVE TECHNICIANS The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 778) which would limit the pay of Guard and Reserve techni- cians to $50,112 annually. This is the same level at which all other government employees are capped. H.Rept. 97-333 --- 19 Aagroved For Release 2007/0 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Currently some Guard and Reserve full time technician person- nel in GS grades 14 and 15 earn in compensation considerably more than $50,112 annually which is the rate of pay at which most other government employees are capped. These technicians do what is essentially one job, even though the conditions of their emplyment require they be uniformed members of the Unit in which they serve as "full-time" technicians. In order words, they cannot hold the one job without the other. This is also different from the Government employee who is a member of a Reserve or Guard unit. In this case his membership is purely voluntary and this represents a second job. Personnel who support the Navy Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve do not receive two separate pay checks for performing one job. The continuation of th epay cap has led to a situation where high level technicians, serving in GS grades 14 and 15 receive maximum pay or nearly the maximum of $50,112 in pay for a full time job and then receive anywhere from 60 to 100 additional days of pay at the Lt. Colonel or Colonel level. This has the effect of making their total pay level from the Deferal Government more than that provded to high ranking generals and top ranking civil- ian officials of the Department fo Defense. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 779) which would require the Department of Defense to notify the Appropriations Committees before they waive RDT&E or other non-recurring costs related to a foreign military sale. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 780) which would prohibit an employee who has been working in Alaska or Hawaii and who is transferred or reassigned to the United States from continuing to receive the higher Alaska or Hawaii pay rate for two additional years. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 781) which would prohibit giving foreign nationals priority over United States citizens living in a foreign country in filling vacant positions. PREPOSITIONED EQUIPMENT CONFIGURED IN UNIT SETS (POMCUS) The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 782) to insure that the two additional division sets of Army equip- ment will not be placed in storage in Europe. ARMY MEDICAL INTELLIGENCE AND INFORMATION AGENCY The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 783) to prohibit the operation of the Army Medical Intelligence and Information Agency after September 1, 1982. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 784) which would insure the status quo is maintained with respect to the Department of Defense dependents school system pending Congressional action on the proposal to repeal the transfer of the system to the Department of Education. The provision would pro- hibit funding of the activities of the Advisory Council on Depend- ents' Education. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 785) which would insure that the Secretary of Defense is charged to administer the funds provided for operation of section 6 schools. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 786) which would allow wage board employees in the Wichita, Kansas, area to have their wages fully updated after the current wage survey is completed. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 787) which would permit the Department to lease no more than six aircraft as suitable replacements for C-140 aircraft. The committee recommends a new general provision (Section 788) which would prohibit the transfer of any article of military equipment or data related to the manufacture of such equipment to a foreign country prior to the approval in writing by the secretary of the military service involved. SINGLE MANAGER FOR CONVENTIONAL AMMUNITION The Committee has included a- new general provision (Sec. 789) which requires the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition to operate only under a Phase II directive after January 1, 1982. This provision is further discussed at the beginning of the procure- ment section of this report. PROCUREMENT OF FOREIGN ADMINISTRATIVE USE VEHICLES The Committee has included a general provision (Sec. 790) direct- ing the Department of Defense to purchase vehicles for its adminis- trative use fleet by competitive bidding without differential in favor of foreign manufacturers. This provision applies to all pro- curement contracts in excess of $50,000. The provision will give the opportunity to bid for such work to companies who manufacture, assemble and produce such vehicles in the United States or Canada. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 REPORT OF FUNDING TRANSFERS The Committee reconmmends new general provision (Section 791) which would require the Secretary of Defense or the Director of Central Intelligence to specifically notify the House and Senate Appropriations Committees at least 15 days prior to the transfer of funds between the Department of Defense and the Central Intel- lignce Agency for activities different from that previously justified to the Congress. The purpose of this provision is to include the Appropriations Committees in the notification process similar to the notification requirements of the intelligence oversight commit- tees required by Section 103 of the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 1982. Annrnved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061 OR000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 TITLE VIII RELATED AGENCIES INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY STAFF Appropriations, 1981 ............................................................................................ $18,271,000 New Obligational Authority, 1982: 000 13 563 Estimate .......................................................................................................... , , Recommended ................................................................................................ 12,563,000 Decrease .......................................................................................................... The organization of the Intelligence Community Staff (ICS) was approved by the President and the Congress by the process of reprogramming fiscal year 1978 resources and by amending the fiscal year 1979 budget. Final approval came with passage of the fiscal year 1979 Department of Defense Appropriations bill which explicitly provided funds and manpower levels for the Intelligence Community Staff. That bill was signed into law by the President on September 18, 1978. The ICS provides the -Director of Central Intel- ligence with staff assistance to carry out his intelligence communi- ty responsibilities. The amended fiscal year 1982 budget for the Intelligence Com- munity Staff totals $13,563,000 and 230 positions. Congress-subse- quently authorized only 220 positions for fiscal year 1982. The amount appropriated in fiscal year 1981 was $17,824,000 at which time the ICS was authorized 245 positions. During the past year, the Committee's Surveys and Investiga- tions Staff conducted an in-depth review of the ICS organization, its activities and responsibilities. A report was rendered under date of July 1, 1981, at which time a reorganization of the ICS was then taking place. The report was rather critical of the, ICS, and the investigations staff was astonished at the disdain for the ICS held by the rest of the intelligence community. From a personnel standpoint, the ICS has never reached the level of its 245 authorized positions. The highest number of employ- ees was 225 reached in September 1980. At the end of June and July 1981, it had an on-board strength of 201; at the end of August 1981, there were 203 personnel on board. The latest report indicat- ed that at the end of September 1981, the on-board strength was 205 personnel. The reorganization of the ICS was completed October 1, 1981, at which time the Resource Management Staff and National Collec- tion Planning Staff were eliminated. Other organizational changes and consolidations were made, and the authorized level was set at 230 personnel, even though only 220 personnel were authorized for fiscal year 1982 by Congress. The ICS reorganization was completed too late in the year for the Committee to conduct a hearing to determine if the asserted shortcomings of the ICS were corrected by the recent reorganization. One would assume, however, that with the elimination of prior staffs and realignment of others, a reduction of more than 15 positions could be realized if there were (291) Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 any successful efforts made to streamline certain functional organi- zations within the ICS. The Committee has recommended funding for 200 positions in the ICS for fiscal year 1982. This is the approximate level of on- board strength the ICS has experienced since May 1981. To accom- modate this level, the Committee recommends an appropriation of $12,563,000, which includes $7,948,000 for personnel costs, $2,265,000 for external contracts, and $2,350,000 for other costs, a reduction of $1,000,000 from the amended fiscal year 1982 budget. The Committee has directed its Surveys and Investigations Staff to reevaluate the current ICS structure and functions to determine whether or not the deficiencies noted in the July 1, 1981 report have _ been addressed and corrected by the reorganization, and whether or not the ICS does in fact require more than 200 person- nel. CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY SYSTEM FUND Appropriations, 1981 ............................................................................................ $55,300,000 New Obligational Authority, 1982: Estimate .......................................................................................................... 84,600,000 Recommended ................................................................................................ 84,600,000 The Committee recommends $84,600,000, the budget request, for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Retirement and Disability System Fund. The CIA Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employ- ees (P.L. 88-643, October 3, 1964) authorized the establishment of a CIA Retirement and Disability System for a limited number of CIA employees, and authorized the establishment and maintenance of a Fund from which benefits would be paid to qualified beneficiaries. Payments to this Fund in fiscal year 1977 totalled $28,300,000. The current request is $29,300,000 above the fiscal year 1981 appro- priation of $55,300,000. It is estimated that payments to this Fund will total $120,000,000 by fiscal year 1986. These annual payments are mandated by law and are beyond the control of the Committee. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLIGENCE RELATED ACTIVITIES The Committee reviews the intelligence and intelligence related activities budgets with the same degree of intensity as that afford- ed other portions of the Department of Defense (DOD) budget. Because of the highly sensitive nature of these activities, the re- sults of the Committee's budget review are published in a separate classified annex to this report. The classified annex is as detailed and comprehensive as this report which accompanies the fiscal year 1982 DOD Appropriations bill. The intelligence community is expected to comply with the recommendations and direction in the classified annex with the same degree of compliance afforded this report and previous reports accompanying DOD appropriation bills. COMMITTEE'S OVERSIGHT FUNCTION In pursuing its oversight function in the intelligence and intelli- gence related activities areas, the Committee held numerous sepa- rate hearings and briefings which comprised several thousand pages of transcript and written responses for the record relating to those hearings. Also, there were several hundred pages of written responses for the record not related to any specific hearing. Additionally, the Committee has relied heavily on its Surveys and Investigations Staff to augment and complement this oversight responsibility. During 1981 a total of 16 separate study reports and four memoranda were submitted by the Committee's investigative staff. These 16 studies involved 17 investigators and 133 man- months of effort. These reports were utilized extensively during the Committee's review of the fiscal year 1982 intelligence and intelli- gence related activities budgets. Prior to our hearings on the fiscal year 1982 budget, the Committee made available to the intelligence community copies of 13 current study reports, and the three re- maining studies will be released to the intelligence community in the next few weeks. The Committee continues to be convinced that an intensive in- vestigative effort in this overall intelligence area is merited be- cause of the relative isolation of the intelligence community from outside scrutiny. Traditionally, the intelligence agencies generally have been exempt from routine review by the General Accounting Office (GAO) except in a very limited and insignificant number of instances. The GAO effort primarily encompass the intelligence related activities areas. The Committee's investigative study efforts have served a common good over the years, both in furthering and assisting in the Committee's oversight function and in surfacing important issues for the intelligence community as a whole. During the past six years, every intelligence activity has been investigated in depth at least once, and several have been reviewed more than once by the Committee's Surveys and Investigations Staff. These investigative studies will be continued during the forth- coming months. Thus far, the Committee has authorized six new (293) Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 study efforts involving the intelligence community. These studies will permit the Committee to maintain a current data base and ensure that the intelligence agencies are complying with previous Committee directives and recommendations, and to discover new problem areas or issues requiring Committee action. NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM The National Foreign Intelligence Program consists of those in- telligence activities of the Government which provide the Presi- dent, other officers of the Executive Branch, and the Congress with national foreign intelligence on broad strategic concerns bearing on U.S. national security. These concerns are stated by the National Security Council in the form of long-range and short-range require- ments by the principal users of intelligence and include political trends, military balance trends, economic trends, treaty monitoring and support to military theater commanders. The National Foreign Intelligence Program budget funded in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act consists primarily of resources of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Nation- al Security Agency, the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Intelligence Community Staff of the Director of Central Intelligence, and the CIA Retirement and Disability. System Fund. The Committee has recommended reductions totalling $21,096,000 in the fiscal year 1982 National Foreign Intelligence Program budget. The recommended reduction is a net figure con- sisting of both increases and decreases, the details of which are explained in the classified annex to this report. In spite of the reductions, very substantial real growth is provided, and the Com- mittee believes that the funds recommended are more than ade- quate to support the National Foreign Intelligence Program in the forthcoming fiscal year. INTELLIGENCE RELATED ACTIVITIES PROGRAMS The Department of Defense Intelligence Related Activities (IRA) are a diverse array of reconnaissance, surveillance and target ac- quisition programs which are primarily a functional part of the basic tactical military force structure, and provide direct informa- tion support to combat operations. IRA include those activities outside the General Defense Intelligence Program which respond to operational command tasking for time-sensitive information as well as to national command, control and intelligence requirements. The Committee has recommended reductions totalling $192,556,000 in the fiscal year 1982 intelligence related activities budget. Of the total reduction recommended by the Committee, a net total of $119,976,000 failed authorization. The reduction recom- mended by the Committee also is a net figure consisting of both increases and decreases, the details of which are explained in the classified annex. The recommended total for IRA represents sub- stantial real growth, which the Committee feels is more that ade- quate to support these activities in the forthcoming fiscal year. The following table reflects the changes recommended by the Committee in intelligence related activities programs: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 Title I, Military Personnel: Thousands Military personnel, Navy: TENCAP Office ............................................. - $0,070 Military personnel, Air Force: PARCS ..................................................... -0,500 Total change, military personnel ........................................................... -0,570 Title III, Operation and Maintenance: Operation and maintenance, Air Force: PARCS (communications) .................................................................... -0,500 PARCS (support) .................................................................................... -7,100 Classified program ................................................................................ -2,500 Defense support program .................................................................... -2,000 DEW line ................................................................................................ -19,400 Total change, operation and maintenance ................................... -31,500 Title IV, Procurement: Aircraft procurement, Air Force: Classified program ........................... -8,100 Missile procurement, Air Force: Defense support program ................. + 12,000 Total change, procurement ..................................................................... +3,900 Title V, Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E): RDT&E, Army: SOTAS ..................................................................................................... -69,776 Joint tactical fusion program ............................................................. -8,000 Classified programs ............................................................................... -11,719 Subtotal, Army ......................... .,....................................................... -89,495 RDT&E, Navy: Classified program ................................................................................ -2,000 C2 Surveillance/Reconn.

This functional approach is required since these activities affect almost every aspect of DOD operations and can meaningfully be reviewed only as a coherent whole rather than as separate pieces. The Committee recommends the following adjustments in communications pro- grams: Appropriations, 1981 ................................................................................ 1$5,828,155,000 New obligational authority, 1982: Estimate .............................................................................................. 16,401,905,000 Recommended .................................................................................... 16,300,821,000 Reduction ............................................................................................ 1101,084,000 ' Includes the GPS program. C3 DOCUMENTS The new Administration has made various changes in the man- .agement structure and the "program mix" of programs which have traditionally been in the Telecommunications and Command, Con- trol Programs (T&CCP) function. In light of this restructuring, the Committee believes that the best approach for providing informa- tion to the Committee on these important programs is to have the office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense C 3 I extract from the regularly printed justification books, i.e., Air Force Procure- ment, Navy RDT&E, etc., the budget request for the programs in the C 3 area. These "extracts" should be compiled in separate books arranged in the major C3 categories and include introductory com- ments giving an OSD perspective to the various C 3 categories and tables or charts which would be useful for the Committee to ana- lyze.

However, a few observations will be made at this point of the report regarding programs in which adjustments have been made in numerous ac- counts. COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT FOR GUARD AND RESERVES As noted elsewhere in the - report, a substantial increase is pro- vided for equipment for the Reserve Component. This increase included communications equipment specifically for the Air Na- tional Guard. The increases for communications equipment for the overall Reserve Component are not included in the above table because most of the overall increase may be expended according to priorities set by the Reserve Component and thus the portion of the total to be expended on communications equipment is not certain at this time. The Committee urges the DoD to submit adequate budgets for communication equipment for the Reserve Component. WORLDWIDE MILITARY COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM-AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING (WWMCCS-ADP) The WWMCCS-ADP system currently consists of 35 medium to large computer systems. The systems are located around the world at 26 major sites. Other sites are served by remote processors and/ or terminals. The role of this system includes providing informa- tion necessary for planning, decision making and force deployment and employment. A total of $196,393,000 is requested in fiscal year 1982 for this program. The Committee notes that O&M costs for this system are project- ed to grow from a level of $66,873,000 in fiscal year 1980 to $120,062,000 in fiscal year 1983. The existing WWMCCS-ADP oper- ational hardware/ software is very old and expensive to maintain. Continued use of this hardware could result in operational deficien- cies before its replacement. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 As the DoD continues to develop the future "architecture" of WWMCCS-ADP it should addre?s the following issues: -Replacement of those computer systems having immediate shortfalls with modern upward compatible computers in the most cost beneficial manner. -Completion of a detailed information requirements analysis that will serve as a basis for specifying a revised WWMCCS- ADP architecture. -Development of an architecture that satisfies and is responsive to detailed information requirements analysis. DoD's response to these observations should be submitted to the Committee in three months. Prior to the submission of DoD's re- sponse to these recommendations, no major initiatives should be begun in the following programs: 32019K-WSE-$3.3 R&D 33152K-Joint Program Management Office-$3.9 R&D 32017K-Joint Technical Support Activity-$7.4 R&D 32018K-National Military Command System ADP Support-$4.1 Procurement. The enhancement of DOD's capabilities for its secure voice tele- phone system has been one of the highest priority program within the communications program of the DOD. Presently, DOD intends to proceed with ALCEP (AUTOSEVOCOM Life Cycle Extension Program) which involves the procurement of various types of equipment to improve the present system until the Standard Tele- phone Unit 11 modified (STU-11M), which would incorporate the latest secure voice technology, is available. No funds in this bill are included for the ALCEP program. How- ever, the Committee has made no dollar reduction since the funds which were requested for ALCEP are to be used instead to procure STU-11 telephones which will provide a high degree of secure voice capability. A number of Federal agencies are planning on using the initial STU-11's. Since the DOD plans a major buy of STU-11M telephones, the prudent course at this time is to begin to buy the STU-11 tele- phone and then transition to the STU-11M as it becomes available. Testimony presented to the Committee strongly supports this ap- proach. The Committee has fully funded the RDT&E request for continued development of the STU-11M. JOINT TACTICAL COMMUNICATION PROGRAM (TRI-TAC) The TRI-TAC program provides tactical communications equip- ment for all branches of the Armed Services. Eventually, a "family" of equipment, consisting of a wide variety of types of equipment, will be deployed in the TRI-TAC program. A total of $352,851,000 is requested for the TRI-TAC program. These funds are requested in various accounts-Procurement, RDT&E, Military Personnel-for the program. Over the years the Committee has supported the program, but has voiced its misgivings about the soaring costs, the long delay in actual deployment of equipment, and the emphasis on high tech- nology within the program. This program has been under develop- ment since 1971. The so-called "Tick-39" switches which are the Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 "heart" of the TRI-TAC system are reportedly performing well. However, the Committee notes that they are very expensive. The Committee has made a number of relatively minor reduction to various RDT&E accounts for this program. The Committee en- courages DoD and the TRI-TAC program officials to consider alter- native, available or soon to be available capabilities to satisfy the requirements that would assure a more timely fielding of the system as RDT&E continues on this program. DoD's cost for leased communications totals approximately $500,000,000. Recent rate changes have significantly increased these costs. The Committee believes that a number of changes, some of which are already underway, can bring savings for this area. Savings can be realized through (a) increased usage of FTS vs commercial toll calls, (b) use of cost saving electronic switching equipment, (c) use of lower cost alternatives, in lieu of AT&T service, as is being done by various civil agencies, (d) consolidation and elimination of dedicated circuits and consolidation of switching in Metropolitan area. The Committee has recommended a reduc- tion of approximately 1 percent in the total request for leased communications. roved For Release 2007/03/03 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 LIMITATIONS AND LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS The following limitations and legislative provisions not hereto- fore carried in connection with any appropriation bill are recom- mended; On page 8, beginning in line 21, in connection with "Operation and maintenance, Navy": : Provided further, That not less than $59,000,000 shall be available only for payments in support of the LEASAT program in accordance with the terms of the Aide Memoire, dated January 5, 1981 On page 9, beginning in line 18, in connection with "Operation and maintenance, Air Force": of which not less than $46,800,000 shall be available only for the installation of modification kits into KC-135 air- craft, and On page 17, beginning in line 1, in connection with "Procure- ment of weapons and tracked combat vehicles, Army": of which $1,900,000 shall be available only for the con- tinued testing and evaluation of 9mm handguns without delay, On page 17, beginning in line 24, in connection with "Other procurement, Army": (including not to exceed 14 vehicles required for physical security of personnel notwithstanding price limitations ap- plicable to passenger carrying vehicles but not to exceed $100,000per vehicle) On page 19, beginning in line 6, in connection with "Aircraft procurement, Navy": of which $37,000,000 shall be available only for purchase of C-2 aircraft under a multiyear contract, On page 23, beginning in line 18, in connection with "Aircraft procurement, Air Force": of which $1,817,600,000 shall be available only for pur- chase of F-16 aircraft under a multiyear contract, $103,500,000 shall be available only for the procurement of B-707 aircraft to provide for engines and parts to re-engine KC-135 aircraft, $121,700,000 shall be available only for the procurement of A-7K aircraft only if such procurement is authorized in the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1982, On page 25, beginning in line 19, in connection with "Other procurment, Air Force": (300) Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 of which $67,200,000 shall be available only for purchase of AN/TRC-170 radios under a multiyear contract and for related support, On page 32, beginning in line 23, in connection with "Section 708 of the General Provisions": ; (m) for payments for depot maintenance contracts for twelve months beginning at any time during the fiscal year; (n) for payment of unusual cost overruns incident to ship overhaul, maintenance, and repair for ships inducted into industrial fund activities or contracted for in prior fiscal years: Provided, That the Secretary of Defense shall notify the Congress promptly prior to obligation of any such pay- ments; and (o) for payments from annual appropriations to industrial fund activities and/or under contract for changes in scope of ship overhaul, maintenance, and repair after expiration of such appropriations, for such work either inducted into the industrial fund activity or con- tracted for in that fiscal year.

ADDABBO The action of the Defense Subcommittee in reducing the Defense budget by $4.2 billion is certainly a step in the right direction but it represents only a portion of wasteful spending found within the budget request that should have been eliminated. After extensive debate the Subcommittee declined to make further cuts in margin- al programs at this time. My belief is that we could have prudently cut $11.2 billion without harming necessary military programs or hindering national security in any way. I will discuss only three such program areas. The first is the Bl-B strategic manned bomber. The budget requests $2.4 billion this year for the B1-B, $1.9 billion for procurement and $500 million for research and development. Almost all of the bad things that can happen to a major procurement program are present in the Bl-B program. There is far too much concurrency between development and production. More than one-half of the aircraft are scheduled to be produced and delivered before the development program has been completed. The Bl-B is obsolete. It is an old design. There are better ways to penetrate enemy defenses than those offered by the Bl-B. The costs are completely out of control. The Air Force offi- cially claims that development and production of 100 aircraft will cost $19.7 billion in FY 1981 dollars. Internal Air Force documents admit to a cost of $29.4 billion in "then-year" dollars. The Congres- sional Budget Office estimates that the then-year dollar cost will be $39.8 billion. The CBO estimate includes the cost of many systems needed for the B1-B which the Air Force conveniently "forgot" to include in its cost estimates, such as cruise missile carrying capa- bility. At a cost of $290 million per copy, the Bl-B would be too expensive. At a cost of $400 million each, it is ridiculous. The spending of such sums for this purpose will take so much money from needed defense programs, it will hurt, not help our national security. Another area in which huge savings could and should be made is in theatre nuclear weapons. Our NATO allies for the most part do not want and will not allow these weapons to be deployed in their countries. There is no other way to usefully deploy them. Yet, we are spending $367.1 million for procurement of the Air Force's Ground-Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM) and $191.8 million for the Army's Pershing II theatre ballistic missile. Until we have signed agreements from the countries where the missiles must be de- ployed, it makes little sense to produce them. The trend appears to be away from obtaining such approval. Yet, the funds for both the GLCM and Pershing II are included in the bill. I strongly disagree with the decision by the Committee, by a vote of 25 to 23, to reverse the decision of the Defense Subcommittee to provide $1.9 billion for the MX. Following cancellation by the Administration of the Multiple Protective Shelter system, we held special hearings on the President's so-called "strategic package". (307) Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 We received testimony from the Secretary of Defense and his depu- ties, and from Air Force personnel. One thing came through very clearly-the basing mode for the MX is now completely unknown. The Air Force admitted that it had no plan for any of the basing modes mentioned as candidates in the President's package. It had no costs. It had no schedules. It had no explanation of what FY 1982 R&D funds would be spent to do. Most certainly, developing cost estimates and schedules and sensible deployment plans will take time. As a first guess, the Air Force says it may have enough information by 1984 on which to decide which basing mode to pursue further. Regarding the Administration's plan to place MX missiles in existing Titan silos, the best that can be said is that the plan is sketchy. The numbers of such silos to be modified is not decided. The efficacy of hardening them is the subject of debate among technical experts. The cost to carry out the plan, variously estimat- ed at $5 billion and $7 billion, appears unequal to the value re- ceived by a long way. The net result is a picture of indecision on the part of the Administration and the Pentagon. I firmly believe that providing funds for MX is both premature and imprudent. My years on the Defense Subcommittee have taught me that the Pentagon always manages to spend every cent it gets. Whether the taxpayers get value in return is often subject to question. Even if the MX pro- gram were sound and well planned, which it is not, the huge sum of $1.9 billion for R&D would not be spent in one year without a great deal of waste. Any money provided for MX will be spent, even though we are several years from knowing where the missiles will be put. Clearly, funding for MX can be deferred until an acceptable basing mode can be found. There is absolutely no doubt of the adverse impact of defense spending on the economy. Money which goes for national defense and which does not produce any marketable goods or services is by definition inflationary. Every year the American people pay a ter- rible toll because of economic inflation. It appears that they will be required to continue to do so at least for as long as the present administration is in office. One of the saddest aspects of the much touted increase in defense spending is that many Americans have been led to believe that an increase in defense spending automatically provides for greater national security; but it does not. When the additional funds are spent for consultants, cost overruns, obsolete weapons, and waste- ful procurement policies and procedures, it is very easy to spend more money but very difficult to obtain any additional real defense capability. As I have tried to point out all year, the huge increase in defense spending we are asked to agree to does not provide for any major increases in military forces. The increase, and it, is a large one, is primarily for the purpose of maintaining the status quo. We are agreeing to pay more for the people we have and to pay more for the equipment we purchase and the supplies we purchase, but we do not get significant additional combat units for the additional money we are spending. As is pointed out elsewhere in the report, even with the $4.2 billion reduction which the Committee proposes, the Defense Ap- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040004-8 propriation Bill for Fiscal Year 1982 is $25.0 billion more than was provided by the Congress for fiscal year 1981 including the FY 1981 supplemental. As a matter of fact, it is really more than $40 billion more than was appropriated in the previous fiscal year because an additional $7 billion was provided at the initiation of the new Administration in a supplemental bill which was enacted into law late in fiscal year 1981. In a very interesting acknowledgement of defense spending un- certainties, the Administration submitted a budget amendment on the second of October which reduced by $7.6 billion the funds for Defense that were requested in the April budget amendment. I applaud the President for his efforts in this instance to try to reduce unnecessary defense spending but it does not give an admin- istration a great deal of credibility when funds are urgently re- quested in April and then deleted in October. The Appropriations Committee has ongoing a study of the pro- curement policies and practices of the Department of Defense. Along with the Chairman of the Full Committee and the ranking minority members of the Full Committee and the Defense Subcom- mittee, I have written to the Secretary of Defense with regard to some of the findings from this study in the hope that these findings would be useful to him in better managing the Defense Depart- ment. Some of the major points discussed are: (1) The over-emphasis on very advanced and uncertain technol- ogy in the development of weapons systems; (2) Excessive numbers of design changes and change orders during development of a weapon system; (3) Excessive and increasingly lengthy time required for develop- ing a weapon system. For example, the first submarine-launched ballistic missile submarine, the Polaris A-1, required 5 years. The successor, the Polaris A-3, required 6 years. The new Poseidon C3 submarine took 9 years, and the now projected Trident C4 will take about 11 years. (4) The practice of contractors of submitting a low estimate to "buy-in" on a contract and subsequently receive price increases under the contract after the award. (5) The lack of competitive procurement. Only about 11 percent of DOD's procurement dollars are spent under the competitive procurement method. (6) The pyramiding of prices for components and parts by prime contractors cost the taxpayers millions of dollars annually. An example is given of a part which was purchased from a prime contractor at the cost of $199,405.00. This part had been obtained V by the prime from a subcontractor at a cost of only $9,770. (7) Defense contractors continue to pass unallowable overhead cost to the Department of Defense. (8) Post initial provisioning reviews are not being conducted as required by regulations and as a result there are severe shortages of spare parts in many major equipments. (9) The military services continue to resist the establishment of a strong, workable challenging procedure for the requisition of non- standard and nonstocked items. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89MOn6IORnrlnlnfnannna-R Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 (10) Inventory losses in the military services run to the tens of millions of dollars, due to inadequate supply of processes, losses in transit and theft. The wastes committed against the American taxpayer in the name of national defense are many. Only constant vigilance on the part of the Department of Defense, the military services and the Congress can hope to cope with this situation. Unfortunately, when an atmosphere is created in which there are constant outcries for more and more defense spending, the atmosphere is created under which the military services are given no incentive to become more efficent. When more money is requested by the Department of Defense than the Department can adequately cope with, we can expect nothing but bad management and waste. Ample evidence of the fact that the Department is having more money thrown at it than it can usefully spend is the sharp increase in unobligated and unexpended balances. The Department's own projections, not mine, show that it is estimated that at the end of fiscal year 1982, $29 billion will remain unobligated. That is, there will not be a binding contractual obligation for the spending of those funds. This com- pares with an estimated unobligated amount of $21.3 billion at the end of fiscal year 1981, $17.8 billion in fiscal 1980, $16.2 billion in fiscal 1979, and $16.7 billion in fiscal 1978. The unbelievably large amount of $134.6 billion is estimated to remain unexpended, unspent, at the end of fiscal year 1982 just for those parts of the Department of Defense funded in this bill. This is an increase of more than $36 billion more than the estimated $97 billion remaining unexpended at the end of fiscal year 1981. The actual figures for fiscal year 1980 are $79.6 billion; for 1979, $72.6 billion; and for 1978, $64.6 billion. So, the unexpended bal- ance for the Department of Defense will have more than doubled in the past five years. Looking at the huge influence Defense spending has on our nation's economy and the huge influence Defense spending has on our law-making bodies, brings to mind the admonition of former President Eisenhower in his farewell address to beware of the undue influence of the military-industrial complex. This nation is much closer to a failure ' of civilian control of the military than most citizens are aware. The present Administration has almost given up trying to manage the military services and has turned over that management almost exclusively to the military them- selves. The influence of the Defense Department and the Defense budget is shown when one looks at some of the other appropriation areas. The $25.0 billion recommended increase over last year-in the Defense bill, as recommended by the Defense Subcommittee, is more than the entire amount appropriated for the Department of Agriculture. It is almost twice the amount appropriated for the Department of the Interior or the Department of Transportation, or the bill for Energy and Water Development. If there was a justified need to sharply increase defense spending or if the military services really proved what was needed or tried to manage effectively, I would support the increases in defense spending. Few of these factors are present. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040004-8 We must use the rule of reason and keep defense spending under control and not sacrifice many genuine needs of our people need- lessly. ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF HONORABLE JULIAN C. DIXON The Committee wishes to express concern over operation of the Department's Private Dining Rooms which serves less than 100 selected senior members of the Secretary's staff, and the dispropor- tionate rate of appropriations needed to maintain meal subsidies. In 1980, subsidy of the five private dining rooms required appro- priations of $1,438,322 according to the Department of Defense. Although meal charges cover the cost of purchasing fodstuffs, ap- propriated funds still cover 8 percent of the cost of lunches served. The inflated meal costs result largely from inefficient operation. The Navy's Executive dining room had a staff of 22 to serve 13,500 meals last year which its Air Force counterpart needed only 20 to serve 28,000 meals, more than twice as many. Consequently the Navy cost-per lunch ranged up to $31, while for the Air Force was $12 per meal. Overstaffing is evident since the ratio is only 4.2 meals per dining service employee daily. At a time when domestic programs are being seriously curtailed, it is difficult to justify such an operation. In contrast, Federal subsidy for the National School Lunch program is 21.5 cents per meal as compared to 32 cents last year. The total average cost per meal is less than $1.50 for the 26 million school lunches served daily. The Committee expects the Department to improve efficiency of this operation, and report its progress in the fiscal 1983 budget submission. It is the Committee's belief that subsidies should not exceed three times the price charged per meal.
