Dear Mr. Secretary:

      Subject: Alternatives For Care of Material Stored
                Outside (LCD-80-35)

      At th reques of the Kentucky congressional delegation,
 we have revi e    rny practices for storing material outside
 at depots. The delegation was concerned that, rather than us-
 ing available warehouse capacity, such as at the Lexington- h46-_?g/O
 Bluegrass Army Depot, Kentucky, the Army is planning to
 construct additional warehouse storage capacity for material
 now inappropriately stored outside where it is subject to ex-
 cessive deterioration.

      Assessing the impact of deterioration of material stored
 outside and alternatives available for caring for such material
 is a lengthy process. Numerous tradeoffs, variables, and un-
 certainties need to be considered. Due to time constraints,
 we limited the scope of our review to examining the raqe__of
 possibilities for caring for the material stored outside. 4e
 did not identify a specific storage action which would be the
 most economical while assuring required material readiness.
 We recognize that a combination of alternatives may be the
 most appropriate action.

      Generally, our review consisted of discussions with key
 Arly logistics officials, examination of studies and reports,
 and observations of depot storage activities at the Red River,
 Letterkenny, Tobyhanna, and Lexington-Bluegrass Army repots.
