We have given careful consideration to the actions taken and to be taken as presented in the Army's position statement with reference to our proposals concerning the matters that appeared to need corrective action, and we have decided not j, to submit a formal report on our review to the Congress. We -y-i.9I are, however, sending a copy of this letter to the Chairman, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Senate Committee on Government Operations, because of his expressed interes tin these contracts. The corrective actions proposed by us as set forth in the report draft, the Army's related comments, and our evalu- ation of the Army's comments are summarized in this letter. Our proposals for corrective actions resulted from our review of the operations of AMPAC under cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contracts for management, operation, maintenance, and repair of Government property in Thailand. These AMPAC contracts were awarded and administered by the U.S. Army Procurement Of- fice, Bangkok, Thailand. They aggregated about $35 million in the 4-year period ended June 30, 1970. The Army concurred in principle with our proposals and had taken appropriate corrective actions. The Army stated also that personnel in the field appreciated the technical ad- vice, assistance, and recommendations provided during the course of our audit in Thailand. 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921 - 1971
