                                                              146618
            The Honorable Mike Synar
            Chairman, Subcommittee on Environment,
               Energy, and Natural Resources
            Committee on Government Operations
            House of Representatives

            Dear Mr. Chairman:

            As you requested, we are reviewing the Army's progress in
            obtaining environmental permits from state regulatory
            agencies for the incineration of chemical weapons. In
            addition, we are monitoring ongoing operational
            verification tests (OVT) at the prototype incineration
            facility on Johnston Island, located in the Pacific Ocean.

            This letter provides an interim report of the progress of
            our current review and the implications of our findings on
            the Department of Defense's fiscal year 1993 budget
            request.

            BACKGROUND

            In addition to the prototype facility on Johnston Island,
            the Army has targeted eight locations in the United States
            for the construction and operation of chemical weapons
            incineration facilities. Before the Army can build a
            chemical weapons incineration facility, it must obtain an
            environmental permit from the appropriate state agency.
