 REPORT TO THE CONGRESS





 BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
 OF THE UNITED STATES






 Accountability And Control Of

 Warheads In The Custody Of The

 Department Of Defense And

 The Energy Research And

 Development Administration

 The record systems the Defense Nuclear
 Agency and Energy Research and Develop-
 ment Administration use for accountability
 and control of nuclear weapons were found to
 be functioning properly. No discrepancies
 were noted between the active stockpile and
 accountability records.
 However,- Defense Nuclear Agency's inspec-
 i;on function would be more effective if the
 units to be inspected were selected indepen-
 dently rather than taken from lists of units
 nominated by the military services.
GAO recommends that
    --the Defense Nuclear Agency indepen-
    dently select and inspect each unit at
    least once every 5 or 6 years,
    --existing  inventory  procedures  be
    strengthened, and

    --the agencies determine the feasibility of
    relocating serial numbers to a more
    accessible place on the warhead and/or
    designing containers with a window so
    that serial numbers are visible.
