BY THE U.S, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE



Report To The Honorable Steve Symms

United States Senate





Improved Controls Needed Over Waivers

Of The Armed Services Exchange Regulations


If a base exchange wants to sell items other than those
authorized by the Armed Services Exchange Regu-
lations, a waiver can be approved by the Secretary of
the service concerned on the grounds that the base is
geographically isolated.

The Secretary of the Air Force approved a waiver so
that the base exchange at Mountain Home Air Force
Base could sell certain major home appliances.

It is questionable whether the base should still be
considered isolated and, therefore, whether there is a
continued need for the waiver. Further, GAO found
several areas where the internal controls over the
granting and revalidation of waivers could be improved.

This report makes several recommendations designed
to improve these internal controls. DOD agreed with
GAO recommendations and has instituted actions to
implement them.
