Dear Sir:

     The General Accounting Office has reviewed selected aspects
of the military supply systems in the Far East.  This review
included an examination into the effectiveness and economy of
certain aspects of the Marine Corps supply system.  The review
was performed during the period February to May 1969 at the 3rd
Force Service Regiment (FSR), Okinawa; the Force Logistics
Command  (FIL), Vietnam; and the Marine Corps Supply Activity (MCSA),
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

     The overall results of our Far East supply review are presented
 in a draft of a proposed report to the Congress which was forwarded
 to the Secretary of Defense on July 3, 1969. Copies of this draft
 report were previously sent to you.

      In addition to the areas warranting improvement within the
 Marine Corps supply system which are identified in that draft
 report, we believe that an additional matter which we observed
 during our review at theForce  Logistics Command (FLC) warrants
 increased management attention by your command. This matter  is
 discussed in detail below.

 NEED FOR REEVALUATING CONTROLS FOR
 REVIEWING THE VALIDITY OF SUPPLY
 REQUIREMENTS

      Our review of a selected number of backordered FLC requisitions
 disclosed that more than half of these requisitions did not represent.,-
 valid customer requirements.  Our test showed the need for an
 expansion of PLC s requisition deview procedures and increased
 Command attention to encourage FLC customers to validate their
 requisitioned requirements.
