The Honorable George H. Mahon
Chairman, Committee on Appropriations
House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:

     We reviewed the factors the Navy considered in sp-l qcting
the Bangor Annex, Naval Torpedo Station at Keyport (near
Bangor) , Washington, as the site for the p)ropro.s.e.d,-TrJient
Sup~poiCr ,Q9Coplex. The enclosures respond to your February 2,
1973, request that we study the Navy's plans to construct
fa ci i 9Lkq which will support the Trident submarine program
and to our subsequent agreement to give you an interim report
on this segment of the request.

     The Navy's decision to deploy the Trident submarines in
the Pacific Ocean was a major factor influencing selection of
a west coast site for the Navy's proposed Trident Support
Complex. Although we are not in a position to evaluate the
Navy's strategic considerations in deploying the submarines
in the Pacific, we found no basis for disagreeing with its
selecting the Bangor site as the appropriate location for the
proposed Support Complex.

     As agreed with your Office, we have not obtained comments
from the Navy on the contents of this interim report. How-
ever, as agreed, information in this report will be included
in our final report responding to your overall request and we
will obtain Navy comments on that report.
