      Committee on Appropriations                     114681
      House of Representatives

      Dear Mr. Chairman:

           Subject: Ytatus and Funding of 4    Department of
                     Defense Energy Conservation Investment
                     Progr 7(EMD-81-55)


           We are pleased to provide the enclosed data on the
      status of the projects and funds of the Department of
      Defense's (DOD) Energy Conservation Investment Program
      (ECIP).

           As requested by your office, this data is being pro-
      vided for use by the Subcommittee in the upcoming hearings
      on DOD's fiscal year 1982 program. We obtained this data
      as part of our follow-up review on what actions have been
      taken by DOD and the military services on the recommen-
      dations of the General Accounting Office (GAO) report
      Improvements Needed in Department of Defense Energy
      Conservation Investment Program EMD-78-15, January 18,
      1978, and the Defense Audit Service (DAS) report on the
      Department of Defense's ECIP, No. 79-054, February 28,
      1979. Our review is planned for completion in May 1981.

           We are aware of the subcommittee's concern that funds
      provided for ECIP projects have been used on non-energy
      conservation projects. We have shared your concern and had
      recommended in another report that funds provided for energy
      conservation should be restricted to such use (EMD-80-11,
      December 12, 1979).

           Our current review of the status of projects in the
     Army, Navy, and Air Force fiscal years 1979 and 1980 ECIP
     indicates that the military services are still using funds
     appropriated for ECIP on other military construction pro-
     jects that do not conserve energy. We found that about
