B-169268


Dear Mrs. Mink:


       In further response to your letter of May 26, 1970, and as indicated in
  our letter of December 17, 1970, we are reporting on the proposed transfer
  of the operations of the Hickam Air Force Base clothing sales store to the
  Hawaii Regional Exchange.

        The earlier interim reply advised you of our intention to continue
I monitoring actions taken by the Air Force on the proposed transfer and of
  our intention to provide you, when sufficient data was available, with a
  final report dealing with the legal questions, cost determinations, treat-
  ment of employees, and the other matters cited in your request.

       On June 8, 1971, we were notified by Air Force Headquarters that a
   letter had been sent to the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) informing them that,
   as a result of an objection by the Judge Advocate General (JAG), a decision
   was made not to approve the implementation of the PACAF and Pacific Exchange
   System proposal to service test the Hickam Air Force Base clothing sales
   store operations by the Exchange Service.

       The JAG's objection was twofold.

          --The 20 percent management fee, that was to be levied
            by the Pacific Exchange System against the clothing
            sales store (chartered as an Air Force Stock Fund),
            exceeded the scope of the stock     -caehii     -
            violated Air Force regulations, which limit charges
            made against stock funds.

          --The proposal would result in the replacement of the
            management function of a military service with the
            management function of a nonappropriated fund activity
            without express Congressional permission.
