             The Honorable Hugh L. Carey
             House of Representatives       BEST DOCUMENT AVAILABLE

             Dez. Mr. Carey:

                  As recuested by your letter of December 13, 1973,
             we have made a study of the energy impact of moving De-
             partment of Defense activities from the Military Ocean
             Terminal, Brooklyn, New York, to Bayonne, New Jersey.
             On May 22, 1974, we discussed with your office the re-
             sults of our work, which showed that the Army estimates
             that the move will result in an overall decrease in
             energy consumption. This reoort summarizes the informa-
             tion we obtained.

                  In 1964 the Secretary of Defense announced the clos-
             irq of the Brooklyn facilities. Terminal operations
             moved to Bayonne in 1966, leaving only administrative
             functions in Brooklyn. On February 8, 1974, the Depart-
             ment ot Defense announced that the remaining administra-
             tive functions at Brooklyn also would move to Bayonne.
             The move, which beoan in June 1974, is scheduled to be com-
             pleted about September 1975 when the final section of ren-
             ovated warehouse space at Bayonne will be ready.

                  The move involves about 1,136 military and civilian
             personnel employed by De-iartment ot Defense activities at
             Brooklyn. These activities inclde Headquarters, Eastern
             Area Military Traffic Manaqement Command; the Military
             Traffic Management Command Information Systems Office,
             Eastern Area; the U.S. Army Communications Command, East-
             emn Area; and the U.S. Navy Military Sealift Commmand,
             Atlartic.

                  Enclosure I shows the energy consumed at Brooklyn and
             Bayonne during fiscal year 1973, the last full year before
             the move. This energy was used before energy conservatio-
             started at Brooklyn and included service to a large tenant,
             the U.S. Postal Service, whose requirements were not mea-
             sured separately. The Postal Service moved from Brooklyn
             about October 1973. Therefore this data appears to have
             only limited value in measuring the change in energy con-
             sumption resulting from the move.
