The Honorable John F. Lehman
The Secretary of the Navy
                                                                 1 19458
Dear Mr. Secretary:

      Subject: 'Utilization of Navy Long Supply Aviation Assets*-
                Improved Coordination and Supervision Needed
                (GAO/PLRD-82-121)

      We have completed our followup review of the Navy's program
 for using long supply aviation assets in producing aircraft air-
 frames, engines, and targets.

      In our 1979 report, 1/ we identified weaknesses in the oper-
  tion of this program and recommended specific actions for
,improvement. In commenting on that report, the Department of
Oefense expressed concern about the accumulation of long supply
assets and agreed that such assets shotild be used as Government-
furnished material. Defense agreed with our conclusions and
ecommendations and advised us that it would request the Navy to
take corrective action in utilizing long supply assets.

      Our followup review has disclosed that the Navy's program
 for utilizing long supply aviation assets in new production con-
 tinues to fall short of realizing its optimum effectiveness. We
 found that coordination is inadequate between the Naval Air Sys-
 ems Command and the Aviation Supply Office during the screening
 process and the verification of available items selected by the
 contractors. In addition, available assets were offered to the
 ,ontractors too late for use in the applicable production year
 Dr they were not offered at all. Details of our review are dis-
 ,ussed in the enclosure.
      To improve the effectiveness of the Navy's program for
utilizing long supply aviation assets in new production, we
recommend that you direct the Naval Air Systems Command to:



/Increased Use of Available Aviation Assets In New Production
  Can Save Millions (LCD-79-201, Mar. 5, 1979).
