The Honorable Harold Brown
The Secretary of Defense


Dear Mr. Secretary:


      This report discusses our review of thetmilitary
 services' accountability and management controls over
 fuel supplied                                  in Korea and
 the Philippines   We identified a lack of control and
 accountability for fuels and are makinq recommendations        VV
 which, if properly implemented, should correct these             i3
 conditions.                                              0i

      We tested the controls over selected fuJ s1 i pments
 received by the U.S. Army Petroleum 1:1 -
 Korea; the U.S. Naval Supply       in the Philippines; the
 2nd Infantry Division and Pusan Supply Point, Eighth U.S.
 Army, Korea; and Clark Air Force Base, Naval Air Station,
 and Naval Public Works Center in the Philippines. We
 talked with responsible officials, reviewed regulations
 and documents, and we participated in taking physical
 inventories of fuel. Our review covered the period of
 operations from October 1977 to June 1978.

 OVERVIEW

     We found weaknesses in management controls over trans-\
 actions and documents used to support monthly accountability
 reports at the Naval Supply Depot, Philippines, and at the
 Army Petroleum Distribution System, Korea (PDSK) . At the
 Naval Supply Depot, we identified 465,000 gallons of fuel
 which were not accounted for when we atempted to reconcile
 fuel receipts and issues with inventories. Also, inventory
records did not accurately reflect quantities of fuel onhand
because they were not current. In addition,, personnel (1)
failed to record or improperly measured receipts, (2) used
improper inventory taking procedures, and (3) allowed fuel
control documents to be altered without appropriate
explanation.
