We agreed with a member of your staff that we would obtain information that is readily available from the agencies concerning the value of all industrial plant equip- ment ow ej by, the Depart en d'(DOD)' ha and type of equipment assigned to the national reserve, and the distinction, if any, between the national reserve and DOD's general reserve. We also agreed to furnish information on the use of national reserve equipment during the Vietnam buildup andin the school loan program. Because of the short time we had to comply with your request, we agreed with a member of your staff to provide this information without conclusions or recommendations as to the need for maintaining a separate national reserve and a general reserve. BACKGROUND The act established a reof machiQ.e.tools .andjindus- triaki-,-manufac turinng,..equipment for-imme-diate--use to supply,, the n ed,.es .Qf..the Armed ,,Force-sin, a_ time of.. national emergency. The act authorizes the Secretary of Defense to determine which excess industrial properties should become part of the reserve and which should be disposed of. The Secretary was also au- thorized to lend property to nonprofit educational institu- tions or training schools when he determined that the programs proposed by these organizations would contribute to national defense and the equipment would be properly maintained and re- turned, if required, without expense to the Government.
