adam.!stration. Represntat i es of the to asmociatiows knew of
no specifications for used materials, and leest Service
officials knew of no way to assezs the overall strength of used
materials. it would be difficult to competitively purchase
equipment constructed from used material because of the
difficulty of comparing and asmssing pertinent. properties of
used materials. The Forest Service did, however*, purchase used
materials for an emergency situation in sontana and, because of
the special circumstances, waived the policy of not purchasing
equipment constructed of used materials. (RS)
