                 MANAGEMENT NEEDED TO ELIMINATE
          CONTINUED FOREIGN MILITARY SALES SUBSID


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to be here today to discuss with you our past

and ongoing work on the longstanding accounting and financial

management problems that the Department of Defense has had in

administering its foreign military sales program. Your continu-

ing concern about the need for recovering the full costs incurred

by the U.S. Government, as required by law, in selling goods and

services to foreign customers is warranted by the size of the

program and the continuing nature of these financial management

problems. As you are aware, foreign military sales is big

business within the Department of Defense--the value of unfilled

customer orders was over $53 billion at September 30, 1981.
