McIntyre C/I Chairman, Research and Development Subcommittee Committee on Armed Services United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: This is in response to your January 28, 1974, letter requesting an investigation of the funding of the Navy's Stable SemisubmergL Platfr (L P You expressed concern that the Navy may have built this experimental craft without having the specific approval and . authorization of funds by the Congress. You stated that the program was not proposed to the Congress as a specific line item or project; instead, it was financed with funds provided for other purposes under Program 65851N, Facilities and In- stallation Support, before fiscal year 1974, and Program 65862N, RDT&E Instrumentation and Material Support, for the current fiscal year. SSP construction costs were paid from the above funds. Navy officials said these funds were used because SSP would fulfill the need for a stable surface platform to support research projects at the Kaneohe, Hawaii, laboratory of the Naval Undersea Center and, therefore, properly came under the broad definition of general support equipment. The Navy did not include estimated SSP construction costs in the budget submitted to the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Congress. Nor was SSP presented to the appropriate committees of the Congress before or during its construction. 9&~4~9~- 72/3
