Clarific- --ion wos offered in respc .se to a
constituent's rebuttal to a GAO report on the Department of
Defense's (DOD's) Carrier Evaluation and Reportin3 Systev. The
constituent's aain concert, was that GIO haa erred in statin*g
that the financial information for detirmining whether or not
rates are compensatory is not arailatle at the interstate
Commerce Cosaissio- (ICC). Officials tit ICC's Cost and Valuation
Branch confirmed that there is no way at present to make Auch
determinations A formula is being established to acco-ijah
this. Other concerns and arguments exzressed bi the constituent
were that: GAO had spent more time with the military thar with
him 3P stu4yina the household goods inustry; agents, not
carrier,* should be rated; and GAOP suggestion that ecooomic
conditions -aay have triggered rates to drop below a ccvpen;-_tory
level was questionable. In resFonse to each of these points, GAO
had given the industry ample opportunity to oifer its views;
DOD's contractual relationship is wit the carzier, not the
agent; and factors other tbi)n ,ronoic were cited in GAC's
report. (HTV)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaxwe0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
