Nelson Commissioner, Immigration and Naturalization Service Department of Justice Dear Mr. Nelson: Subject: Vehicle Fuel: Two Border Patrol Sectors Inadequately Control Fuel (GAO/GGD-86-36) As part of our reviewI of the Department of Justice's 1984 implementation of the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-255), we noted that gasoline was not adequately controlled at two Border Patrol facilities visited. We are bringing this matter to your attention for action because similar weaknesses were identified by Department of Justice reviews during the 1981-84 period but remain uncorrected. The control weaknesses identified apply to gasoline for vehicles supporting the Border Patrol's linewatch function--apprehending illegal aliens shortly after they cross the U.S. border--at the San Diego and El Centro sectors in California. The two sectors had 637 vehicles (sedans, trucks, buses, motorcycles, etc.) in fiscal year 1984--about 18 percent of the Service's vehicles. The two sectors spent about $632,000 that year for vehicle fuel and lubricants. GASOLINE WAS NOT ADEQUATELY CONTROLLED Although the San Diego and El Centro sectors have their own gasoline pumps, neither sector was following procedures which the Service established as controls for bulk fuel operations. The Service's Administration Manual requires each Service location storing bulk fuel to maintain Form G299, Service Facility Motor Vehicle Fuel Record, which is to account for fuel received and issued. Space is provided on this form for listing 1The results-of this review are reported separately. See FINANCIAL INTEGRITY: Justice Made Progress but Further Improvements Needed, GAO/GGD-86-9, dated Oct. 31, 1985.
