    The Honorable Wayne Owens

&J( House of Representatives

    Dear Mr. Owens:

         As requested in your letter of June 1, 1973, and as
  -subsequently agreed with your office, we Lreviewed (1) the
    accuracy of the calibration wotL _La4a-ta used as a basis
    for reducing the Metrology Division at Tooele Army Depot,
    Utahj (2) the reasons for shipping certain items from
    Pacific ports to Tooele and then reshipping them to Sharpe
    Army Depot, Lathrop, California, and (3) the rationale for
    not repairing those items at Tooele.

         Regarding the first item, we believe the Sacramento
    Army Depot d    used in the 1973 Metrology cost analysis was
    essentially correct.

         On the second point, the Army routed certain repairable
    items from a Pacific port (Oakland, California) to Tooele
    and then to Sharpe for repair. The Army attributed this to
    workload programing problems and a misunderstanding of
    orders. The Army agreed that some r   uat~earil
    occurred.

         Point three, items were reshipped to Sharpe because
    Tooele was fully workloaded and could not have repaired
    them.

    CALIBRATION DATA

         Army Materiel Command (AMC) officials stated that the
    decision to move the Tooele Area Support Calibration work-
    load to Sacramento was based on an updated 1969 Feasibility
    Study. The savings shown in the updated study for the
    functional transfer were based on a quantity of 15,728 Area
    Support Calibrations for fiscal year 1973. We determined
