DIVISION B-125087 Dear General Seignious: The General Accounting Office made a study of the U.S. defense comitments and military aid programs for the Republic of China (Taiwan). The results of our work were discussed in March 1971 with representatives from the Military Assistance Advisory Group and te U.S. Embassy in Taiwan. In July 1971 a series of events affecting the nature of U.S.-Taiwan relations began unfolding, including (1) the shift in the longstanding U.S. position on the seating of Communist China in the United Nations, (2) the expulsion of the Republic of China from the United Nations, and (3) a series of high level meetings between U.S. and Communist Chinese officials and representatives of other countries. Because of these developments and the rapidly changing situation, we delayed reporting on the results of our work and decided to reconsider our approach. Meanwhile, the enclosure will serve to bring to your attention certain problems in supply management which were discussed with the Military Assistance Advisory Group during the course of our review. In summary these problems involved: --material excess to the needs of the Chinese Army that was not being identified and made available for further utilization or disposition. --the requisitioning of repair parts over and above the authorized stockage level or need for the items. The Chief, United States Military Assistance Advisory Group, China, advised us that actions were being taken to establish realistic supply levels, and that criteria will be provided to the Chinese for screening excesses to satisfy repair part requirements. We appreciate the time and effort devoted by the Chief, Military Assistance Advisory Group, in going over with us the results of our review and in initiating action on the supply management matters presented in the enclosure.
