II), you asked us to evaluate the U.S. Navy's acquisition and use of an Inter- national Business Machines (IBM).3032 computer installed at the Ships Parts Control Center in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1979, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers leased this computer under the foreign military sales program to support the Saudi Arabian Naval Expansion Program. Later, the Navy acquired the IBM 3032 for its Weapons Systems File Download project. You asked us to evaluate the legality of the Navy's actions in acquiring and using the IBM 3032, focusing on (1) the procurement policies and procedures that governed the acquisition of the IBM 3032; (2) the roles and responsibilities of, and funding arrange- ments between, the U.S. and Saudi navies; (3) the Saudi Navy's re- quirement and what was actually developed during the project; and (4) how the U.S. Navy used the computer for the Saudi project and for its own project. We also evaluated the Army Corps of Engi- neers' compliance with applicable foreign military sales and computer procurement laws, rules, and regulations in leasing the IBM 3032. On November 2 and December 6, 1983, we briefed your office on the progress of our work. This is our report on the matter. Our overall assessment is that the --Army Corps of Engineers followed established laws, rules, and regulations in leasing the IBM 3032 for the Saudi Naval Expansion Program; 1(510022) 124959
