       COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     At your request,w appear before you today to present the informa-

tion that the General Accounting Office has developed in the course of

its review of the/development and production of the Sheridan Weapon

System and the M6OAIEl/E2 tank systemj7

Why review was made

     We reviewed the development and production of the Sheridan Weapon

System because of delays incurred in making this important Army combat

item available to the operational forces and because of the significant

amount of funds involved in this program. We reviewed the M6OAlEl/E2

tank systems (which I will refer to as the El and E2) because of Army

expenditures to apply the Shillelagh missile, ammunition, and combina-

tion gun-missile launcher, which are the Sheridan's main armament, to

the M60 tank. Our review was directed primarily to an evaluation of

management effectiveness during the development process of these weapon

systems.

     The total program cost for development and procurement of the

Sheridan Weapon System, through fiscal year 1972, including missiles
