handle is hein.gao/gaobabnkm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: NATIONAL SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIVISION UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 MAY 3 0 1984 B-207 165 RESTRICTED) - Not e C *k The Honorable William Proxmire United States Senate Dear Senator Proxmire: Subject: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Fiscal Year 1985 Budget Requests That Support De- partment of Defense Programs (GAO/NSIAD-84-120) On February 23, 1984, you asked us to update for fiscal year 1985 our report to you entitled Analysis of NASA's Fiscal Year 1983 Budget Request for Research and Development to Determine the Amount That Supports DOD's Programs (MASAD-82-33). Since that report, the space shuttle, which was primarily funded under NASA's Research and Development appropriation at the time of our earlier work, has become operational. As a result, a new appropriation was created entitled Space Flight, Control and Data Communications. To address the Research and Development and the Space Flight, Control and Data Communications appropriations, we requested NASA program offices to prepare a breakout of their fiscal year 1985 budget requests as either DOD or civil supportive based on program requirements and applications. Any funding supporting both civil and DOD programs which could not be allocated separately was to be identified as both civil and DOD supportive. Starting with NASA's allocations, we made further allocations using alternative methods which we believe provide a reasonable measure of civil or DOD support. A comparison of NASA's allocations and our allocations follows. A detailed discussion of the differences is contained in the enclosure. Allocation made by NASA Dollars in millions Percent of total GAO Dollars in millions Percent of total DOD support Civil support $ 2.1 $2,556.1 .04 42.6 $602.3 10.0 $4,859.7 81.0 Civil & DOD support $3,442.2 57.4 $ 538.4 9.0 Total $6,000.4 100.0a $6,000.4 100.0 a This line does not add to 100 percent due to rounding. r~c~og (392055)
