Nedzi Chairman, Subcommittee on Military Installations and Facilities Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives ME00S 1993 109935 Dear Mr. Chairman: In accordance with your April 10, 1979, request, as supplemented by a meeting with your office, we have reviewed the proposed closure of Fort Monroe, Virginia. Support for the proposal is contained in a Case Study and Justification Folder, dated February 6, 1979, which was prepared by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Fort Monroe. (The Army provided for transfer of the Command Headquarters from Fort Monroe o Fort Eustis, Virginia, in 1984, and inactivation of other Army units at Fort Monroe. An Air Force and a Navy unit would remain.) * We found that the estimated annual savings were slightly understated. But we cannot determine the reasonableness of the estimates for several cost items until additional infor- mation is obtained and decisions are made by the Army, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and, possibly, other Government agencies. ((The decision to close Fort Monroe should be deferred until the Army has made a comprehensive estimate of all costs involved. We selectively reviewed support for cost data justifying the closure and considered other matters which could affect the proposal, but the costs of these matters were not computed by the Army. We reviewed the Army Audit Agency's report and workpapers, visited Fort Monroe and Fort Eustis, and discussed the proposed closure with Army personnel at both installations. We also interviewed archeologists of the Virginia Research Center for Archeology and members of the Navy's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group II. Details of savings and cost items used by the Army and our differences where estimates can currently be made are shown in the enclosure. (Before the Army can excess the Fort, it must determine whether and how it can comply with Army and other regulations, at what cost, and who will take control The factors which make several cost items difficult, if not impossible to accurately estimate are discussed in the following sections. j/ -f - LCD-79-318 4r' 938
