D.C. 20548 f1ATI0?JAL SECURITY ANU TJ1 EIINATIONAL AFFAIRS DIVISION B-214401 MARCH 5, 1984 The Honorable Joseph P. Addabbo Chairman, Subcommittee on Defense Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: GAO Examination of Alleged Waste and Mismanagement in the Army's Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment Support Group (GAO/NSIAD-84-67) As you requested, we examined the validity of the allegations regarding waste and mismanagement in the Army's Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) Support Group made by an employee of that group in a letter to you, dated August 25, 1983. In summary, we believe the allegations have merit. The Army agrees and is trying to resolve them. A description of the allegations and our analysis is presented in enclosure I. As agreed with your office, we generally limited our examination to assessing the validity of the allegations. Our work was conducted primarily at the TMDE Support Group in Huntsville, Alabama, and the U.S. Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command in Alexandria, Virginia. We relied heavily on Army statements and documentation with limited independent verifications and, therefore, this examination was not performed in accordance with generally accepted government audit stand- ards. Also, as agreed, we did not obtain formal agency comments. The TMDE Support Group and Development and Readiness Command representatives recognize the merits of the allegations and have agreed to --defer fiscal year 1985 and 1986 funding requests for Calibration Standards Sets totaling $7.1 and $8.1 million, respectively, and to cancel requirements for ancillary equipment totaling about $1.7 million; 51111111 9 (393038) 123556
