You mentioned that this cost could be reduced if all agencies followed the movino procedures em- ployed by the Department of Defense (DOD). One of your con- stituents has suggested that savings could be achieved by having the agency, rather than employees, contract for moving services. A limited test by our Poency showed that employee- arranged roves generally result in lower overall costs to the Government comnared to costs computed using the Standard Government pate Tenders applicable on egency-zrranoed moves. Fowever, DD and civilian agencies are sometimes able to nego- tiate for lower than standard rates. The possibility of and conditions influencinq lower rates depend on locality, time of yer, carrers' workloa, and other variables that make generzl conclusions about the most cost favorable method impossile. We have found existing procedures to be sufficiently fleible to permit use of the method which is in the best financial inte-est :f the Government. trScF4P lCN CF MICVWCM N I 'here are enerally two methods of shipping the house- hold gods of 7ederal employees within the continental nited States--the actual-expense method and the comuted-rate sys- tem.
