   Commander
   Headquarters, United States Army
     Armament Command
   Rock Island, Illinois  61201

   Dear Commander:

        The General Accounting Office recently completed a review of pension
   costs at the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant  (JAAP), Joliet, Illinois, a
   Government-owned installation operated by Uniroyal, Inc., under a Cost-
   Plus-Award-Fee contract DAAA 09-71-C-0305.  The review was made to deter-
   mine the reasonableness of JAAP pension costs primarily for calendar
   years 1969 through 1973.

        Currently, there are three trusteed pension plans for locally hired
   employees and one for Uniroyal personnel transferred to JAAP  (see appendix
   I).  Uniroyal uses the services of a consulting actuary, Marsh and McLennan
   in New York, for determining annual pension payments and contributions to
   the trust funds.

        The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) at JAAP is responsible
   for approving payment of pension costs billed by Uniroyal.  Approvals are
   generally based on the results of Defense Contract Audit Agency  (DCAA)
   audit.

                                  BACKGROUND

        In 1960, Uniroyal and the United States Army Ordnance Ammunition
   Command, Joliet, Illinois, a predecessor of the Army Armament Command
   (ARMCOM), agreed to establish two funded pension plans for contractor
   employees at JAAP.  One plan covered locally hired employees and the
   other plan, which is part of a company-wide plan, covered personnel
   transferred from other Uniroyal locations.  The agreement provided for
   a 10-year delay in recognition of the Army's liability for pension pay-
   ments and 100 percent funding in the year of recognition for the plan
   covering locally hired employees.  For the plan covering transferees,
