The Honorable David Pryor
Chairman, Subcommittee on Civil Service
  and General Services
Committee on Governmental Affairs
United States Senate                                  120213

Dear Mr. Chairman:

     This is in response to your January 26, 1979, letter
requesting us to evaluate the procedures used to estimate
the value of Air Force Plant No. 3, located at Tulsa, Okla-
homa. The reason for your request was the large difference
between the values of the plant determined by the General
Services Administration and the Tulsa Airport Authority.
The Airport Authority is interested in the plant because
the plant is located next to the airport.

     The plant consists of over 300 acres of land and 79
structures totaling more than 2.7 million square feet. The
McDonnell-Douglas Corporation currently operates the plant
as a Government-owned, contractor-operated facility under
a lease from the Air Force.

     The Air Force reported the plant excess in October 1972,
with the condition that General Services negotiate a sale
to McDonnell-Douglas for continued use as an aircraft fabri-
cation and assembly facility. In accordance with the
National Industrial Reserve Act of 1948, the Air Force
specified that, as a condition of sale, the plant's existing
capability for defense production be preserved for 5 years
from the date title to the property is transferred to the
contractor. A further condition was that utilization of the
property by the purchaser not jeopardize the capability of
the facility to meet defense production requirements during
that period.

     In February 1973 General Services contracted with an
independent appraisal firm to provide a valuation of the
plant and all related Government-owned personal property.
The firm valued the property as of May 1, 1973; December 1,
1974; and September 1, 1977. The firm stated that as of
