    The Honorable Ken Kramer
    House of Representatives

    Deaz Mr. Kramer:

         In response to your April 12, 1979, request, we reviewed
   th,. planned realinement of the Aerospace Defense Command.
   This supplements the information which we provided orally to
   your staff on May 18, 1979. As requested in your letter,
   we limited our review to analyzing the adequacy and accuracy
   of the cost savings associated with the planned realinement.

        We made our review at the Aeroepace Defense CommanC,
   Colorado Springs, Colorado; the Strategic Air Command, Offutt
   Air Force Base, Nebraska; the Tactical Air Command, Langley
   Air Force Base, Virginia; Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida;
   the Air Force Communications Service, Scott Air Foce Base,
   Illinois; and the Department of the Air Force, Washington,
   D.C. We discussed with Air Force officials the estimated
   costs and savings resulting from the proposed realinement
   and examined records and documents supporting the Air Force's
   estimates.
        As cited in your request letter, the projected savings
   for the proposed realinement have decreased. In January
   1978 the Air Force projected a net staff reduction of 1,084,
   a recurring net annual savings of $17.5 million, and a one-
   time cost of $2.8 million to implement the realinement.
   Savings were attributed primarily to the projected reduction
   in staff at the Aerospace Defense Command, less the Frojected
   augmentation at other Air Force activities which would assume
   the transferred mission roles. In March 1979, however, the
   Air Force revised its estimates to reflect changes which
   had occurred since its earlier forecasts. The Air Force now
   projects a net staff reduction of approximately 791, a
   recurring net annual savings of $12.7 million, and a one-
   time cost of $4.9 million. Differences in current staff
   reductions from the original estimate are due to a variety
   of adjustments, ii-cluding congressionally Airected reductions
   in the Colorado Springs area.

                                                       LCD-79-119
