       The Honorable                                       LMo9s938
       The Secretary of Defense Z

       Dear Mr. Secretary:

           This letter summarizes the results of our review of the
      Department of Defense                            1Zeferra lr rami
   EULgp and the actions DOD has taken or planned on our rec-
      ommendations for improving Housing Referral Office (HRO) op-
      erations. In June of last year we reported to the Congress
      on HRO activities in the United States (B-133102, June 12,
      1973).

           The European review was made at Army HROs in Frankfurt,
      Wuerzburg, Schwabish-Hall, and Kaiserslautern, Germany; Navy
      HROs in Naples, Italy, and Rota, Spain; and Air Force HROs
      in Alconbury, England, and Ramstein, Germany, and Torrejon,
      Spain. We also held discussions with officials of the
      European headquarters of the Army, Navy, and Air Force and
      some intermediate commands.

           The housing referral program was established to insure
      that military personnel are quickly, adequately, and economi-
      cally housed in off-base housing near their duty stations.
      Additionally, HROs were made responsible for a number of re-
      lated activities, including administration of the anti-
      discrimination policy.

           In Europe the housing referral program was started in
      July 1970 by the Air Force, January 1971 by the Army, and
      February 1972 by the Navy. The number and estimated costs
      of HROs in the area for fiscal year 1972 are shown below:
