Septenber 27, 1977. 24 pp. Testimony before the House Committee on Armed Services: Investigations Subcommittee; by Clifford I. Gould, Deputy Director, Federal Personnel and Compcnsation Div. Issue Arza: Accounting and Financial Reporting (2800). Contact: Federal Personnel and Com;ensati,-n Div. Budget Function: National Defense: Department cf Defense - Military (except procurement & contracts) (051). Organizaticn Concerned: Department of Defense. Congressional Relevance: House Committee on Armed Services: Investigations Subcommittoe. Autho)rity: Army Appropriation Act of 1893. DOD Instruction 7000.12. DOD Directive 1315.10. DOD Directive 1330.2. Military departmental regulations on Froviding appropriated fund support for worale, welfare, aM recreation activities (MWR) ai>a not consistent among the services or with the DOD guidelines. Historically 8.!E operations such as exchanges have been considered not to be funded activities, legally, but have been funded anyway. Military personnel have been used too such, even though regulations generally limit the number allowed and specify the use of civilian parsonnel. Congress itself has been inconsistent in its attitude towards funding these activities. She major justificaticn for RWR activities is the monetary savings that they offer their patrons. The true costs of the operations should be identified, giving Congress the opportunity to decide how such money will be appropriated for this function. Two alt.cnative funding guidelines are: (1) appropriated fun4s should be provided at all locations, but only for the operation of cosunity-type activities on the same basis as they are provided in the nearest urbanized area; and (2) appropriated fund suppert of NWR shoald be eliminated at installations in cr adjacent to urban arers in the United States when adequate community facilities exist. Congress should continue appropriated fund support for common base services whose MWR costs are xot feasible to identify, and prohibit the use of funds for milita-y staffing of MWV4 programs unless civilian emplcyees are not available.
