This letter responds to your request that I provide answers to posthearing questions from you and Congressman Mike Rogers. The questions and responses follow. Question from Chairman Jim Saxton 1. As noted in both Mr. Hinton's and Mr. Wakefield's statements, the Assembled Chemical Weapons Assessment (ACWA) program is managed separately from the chemical stockpile destruction program, as directed by Congress, and maintenance of a separate program contributes to a complex program management structure. In his statement Mr. Wakefield said that the Department of Defense is looking at further streamlining the management of the chemical demilitarization program and now desires to consolidate the ACWA program manager under the Army's Chemical Materials Agency. How does the current division of the program structure between the Chemical Materials Agency and the Project Manager for the Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternative adversely affect the program and how would consolidation of these two activities as proposed by Mr. Wakefield improve the overall management of the program? What legislative action would be required to make such a change?
