OF THE UNITED STATES


Defense Continues To Subsidize Sales Of

Secondary Items To Foreign Governments

Because Of Poor Pricing Policies



Oer the years, the Congress has made it clear that
D fense appropriations are not to be used to sub-
si ize the foreign sales program. However, according
t GAO estimates, over $8 million of Defense ap-
p opriations were used to subsidize the foreign mil-
itary sales program in fiscal 1979 at four inventory
control points because of inadequacies in estimating
ncplacement costs of secondary items sold from in-
v ntory. GAO believes that additional millions of
d liars in subsidies occurred because all foreign
gvernments were not billed for certain indirect
csts associated with these sales.

AO is recommending actions, including legislative
c anges, necessary to improve Defense's pricing pol-
i ies and procedures for sales of secondary items.
