handle is hein.gao/gaobaaali0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 20543 UNrrT.V B- 171353 7V 0 JUL 2 7 1976 The Honorable Robert P. Griffin United States Senate and The Honorable William D. Ford The Honorable James G. O'Hara The Honorable Phillip E. Ruppe House of Representatives In your March 2 and 3, 1976, inquiries, you requested us to determine, among other things, what savings would result from closing the Lake Survey Center in Detroit, Michigan, and its marine facility in Monroe, Michigan, and whether the closing will lessen the National Ocean Survey's ability to provide water-level data and nautical charts for the Great Lakes area. To make these determinations, we interviewed officials and employees and reviewed financial records and related data at the Lake Survey Center and its marine facility and at the National Ocean Survey Head- quarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin- istration in Rockville, Maryland. We also visited the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and discussed matters with the Director of the Atlantic Marine Center in Norfolk, Virginia. Our examination showed that, as a result of closing the Lake Survey Center, the National Ocean Survey will save about $428,200 in fiscal year 1977 after deducting estimated costs of $271,100 for moving Lake Survey Center personnel and property to the Atlantic coast. Our examination also showed that the closing should not result in a lessening of water level and charting services on the Great Lakes. Actually, the National Ocean Survey plans to increase its level of activity on the Great Lakes to update charts and other material that the Lake Survey Center has not updated for an extended period of time.
