Dear Mr. Chairman:

     Subject: 6OD's Implementation of Section 114 of the
                Fiscal Year 1980 Military Construction
                Appropriations Aj(LCD-80-90)

     In your letter of November 29, 1979, you asked us to
monitor the implementation and effect of section 114 of the
fiscal year 1980 Military Construction Appropriations Act.
This section requires that American steel producers, fabri-
cators, and manufacturers be given the opportunity to com-
pete for the sale of steel outside the United States when
U.S. military construction funds are used.

     We focused primarily on the Department of Defense's
(DOD's) use of U.S. military construction funds in the
European theatre for both unilateral I/ and North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO) infrastructure funding. Unilateral
funds flow through service appropriations and are usually
managed for contracting by the European Division of the
Corps of Engineers. U.S. contributions to the NATO infra-
structure system are controlled by the U.S. Mission, NATO,
which has veto authority over infrastructure projects rec-
ommended to the NATO infrastructure committee.



1/Unilateral financing is financing through U.S. military
  construction appropriations, excepting those projects
  which are eligible for NATO infrastructure funding and
  for which reimbursement will be sought.
