          September 30, 1994


          The Honorable John D. Dingell
          Chairman, Subcommittee on
            Oversight and Investigations
          Committee on Energy and Commerce
          House of Representatives

          Dear Mr. Chairman:

          On September 26, 1994, we met with members of your staff to
          discuss the cost of recreational activities for contractor
          employees at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge
          facilities in Tennessee. We initially reported on the cost
          of these activities in January 1993 as part of our report
          entitled Energy Management: Types of Allowable and
          Unallowable Costs Incurred Under Two DOE Contracts
          (GAO/RCED-93-76FS, Jan. 29, 1993). Your office requested
          that we update our earlier information by providing you with
          the cost of recreational activities for Martin Marietta
          Energy Systems employees at DOE's Oak Ridge facilities for
          fiscal years 1992-94. Martin Marietta is the principal
          management and operating contractor at DOE's Oak Ridge
          facilities.

          In summary, we found that Martin Marietta has continued to
          charge the cost of a variety of recreational activities to
          the government. In fiscal years 1992 and 1993, over
          $513,000 was spent on these activities, and in fiscal year
          1994 over $181,000 had been spent as of July 24, 1994.' As
          we stated in our January 1993 report, under Martin
          Marietta's contract with DOE, expenses for recreational
          activities are allowable costs as part of the cost of


          'In our 1993 report, information on the cost of recreational
          activities included costs for contractor employees at DOE's
          Portsmouth, Ohio, and Paducah, Kentucky, facilities. These
          facilities were turned over to private industry as of
          July 1, 1993; therefore, we have not included in this
          correspondence any information on such costs for these
          facilities in fiscal years 1992 and 1993.
