     DOD's Real Property Maintenance RELEASED

     And Repair Backlog




                                                                110323
     The Department of Defense and the military
     services have not been able to cut the
     growth of the backlog of real property main-
     tenance and repair work. The backlog has
     more than doubled to over $2 billion from
     fiscal year 1973 to the end of fiscal year
     1978. This amount exceeds the actual ex-
     penditures reported by the services. DOD
     cites the following reasons as the chief
     causes of the growth:

        --Budget constraints.

        --Inflation.

        --Continued deterioration of work iden-
        tified but not corrected.

        --Increased emphasis on identifying the
        backlog.

        --Redefinition of what work should be
        included.

J'   At the request of the Senate Committee on
     Appropriations, GAO is providing a histori-
     cal view and recent trends of the backlog.
