handle is hein.gao/gaobaafut0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES 09601S WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 B-168700 NOV 2 7 1973 The Honorable Adlai E. Stevenson, III //11/5,/ United States SenateLM905 Dear Senator Stevenson: Your May 14,,1973, letter requested us to review the Department of the Navy's proposed plan to merge its Electronics Supply, Offi.ce (ESQ_, Great Lakes, Illinois, with Pennsylvania. In a subsequent meeting at your office, we agreed to specifically consider the following questions in our review. --Did the Navy consider all pertinent costs, such as severance pay and moving expenses, in its estimate of savings to be realized by the merger? --Did the Navy consider letting ESO absorb the positions to be eliminated? --Can there be savings if, at a later date, the Navy adds at SPCC the positions eliminated at ESO? --Will current efficient interface with suppliers be af- fected? --Are management functions similar enough so that SPCC can absorb items being transferred from ESO? --Will the cost to manage ESO items increase after trans- fer to SPCC? The Navy's decision to consolidate ESO with SPCC was not based on formal cost-savings analysis. The Navy did develop estimates of savings to be realized by the merger which were prepared for planning purposes only. These estimates were based on certain assumptions--the principal one being the elim- inn-.o -3 O-persojnneipositions. Because of the lack ofE documentation to support the Navy's assumptions, we cannot precisely evaluate the overall effect of the proposed merger. ~C16 o I
