        The Honorable
        The Secretary of Defense

        Dear Mr. Secretary:

             At the requtst of a congress.onal subcommittee, we made
        a limited examination into the Air Force and Navy practices-
        and procedures for selling fuel to commercial air carrters
        for use in providing contract airlift services for the
        LOGAIR and QUICUkTRANS operations, The subcommittee had been
        informed that commercial air carriers in the Detroit, Mich-
        igan, area may 1>e using the military fuel in their conunor-
        cial operations.

              Our analyliis of pertinent contracts showed that air
        carriers are authorizod to purchase fuel for use in per-
        forming the cc.ntracted services,   However, we identifiud
        weaknesses in the procedures established to control these
        sales which would make 3it possible for the carriers to ob-
        tain fuel at ,,ubstantiaY savings for use in their commer.
        cial operations.

              At the time we reported our findings, we advised the
        subcommittee that we would bring this matter to your atten-
        tion to ensure that appropriate action is taken.
