Congressional Relevance: House Comiittee on District of

Congress.
Because the District of Cclumbia does not have an
economical and effective supply zqstem, vital city services such
as health care and educ tior sometimes were hindered.
Simultaneously, the departments accumulated much unneeded stock.
A central management group is needed to establish and direct a
citywi e supply management prog-am if the District is to improve
its supply system. Findings/Conclusions: Althcugh the District
has been told several times over tbe years to establish central
management and contrcls over its supply activities, little or no
progress has been made. Unneeded or overstocked items, vwlued at
$6.9 millicn in current inventories, could be sold, returned, or
used to reduce the i.ventory to the necessary minimum level.
City services should not be disrupted due to this reduction, and
the city could possibly save $7.1 lillion each year.
Recommendations: The Mayor should irplement the City Council's
resolution concerning the establishment of an effective supply
system. In establishing such a system, the Mayor should give
authority and responsibility for formulating atrd implementing
the system tc a central management group; include i.n the design
for the city's new financial management system financial and
other information needed to manage the system: and justify fully
to the Congress the positicns and operating furds used to
implement the syttem. (Author/SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaawcx0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
