Richardson The Secretary of Defense - Attention: Assistant Secretary of Defense (Telecommunications) Dear Mr. Secretary: In August 1972 we submitted our draft report Government Should Seek Compensation for Use of its Facilities in Provid- ing Ser e to certain Government agencies and private industry interests for comment. We have received comments from your office; the Office of Telecommunications Policy (OTP), Executive Office of the President; the Federal Communications Commission (FCC); the General Services Adminis- tration (GSA); the American Telephone and Telegraph Company; and the United States Independent Telephone Association. This is to advise you and the other respondents that we are deferring further consideration of this question pending evaluation and decision on a related matter which is pres- ently undergoing test and evaluation within the Department of Defense (DOD)--the outcome of which could affect any con- clusions or course of action indicated in our draft report. The related matter involves the possible extended use by DOD of the Federa, T-elecommunica-tions Syste-m (FTS), operated by GSA, in lieu of commercial long-distance telephone calls. BACKGROUND DOD provides telephone service by means of Government- owned systems within and in the immediate vicinity of about 160 military installations and also provides interconnection with systems of commercial telephone companies. We made a review to determine whether the Government is compensated in any manner when DOD facilities and services are used to com- plete incoming or outgoing long-distance telephone calls.
