    Dear Mr. Murphy:

         Subject: liransfer of Fort Wadsworth to the Gateway
                   National Recreation Are a(LCD-80-80)

         This report is in response to your April 30, 1980,
    letter requesting us to review certain aspects of the trans-
    fer of Fort Wadsworth to the Department of the Interior's
    National Park Service. You expressed concern that the Army
    may be removing installed fixtures and equipment from the
    fort's facilities before the fort is transferred. Specifi-
    cally, you said this may be counter to assurances and
    agreements made by the Army concerning the condition of the
    property to be transferred. You said, more importantly,
    this may result in unnecessary cost to the Government, if
    the Army has no valid use for the equipment removed, and
    unnecessary cost later, if the Interior is required to
    replace the equipment or fixtures removed.

         In summary, we found that:

         --The Department of the Army has removed certain equip-
           ment from the facilities being transferred.

         --The Army said it removed the equipment from Fort
           Wadsworth in compliance with its regulations.

         --The Army and the Interior had no written agreement
           on the items to be rembved by the Army.

         --Park Service officials believed some of the items
           removed could have been used to support the Park
           Service's plans for the recreation area.

         Fort Wadsworth, located on Staten Island, New York, is
    currently under the jurisdiction of the Department of the
    Army. On or about July 1, 1980, Fort Wadsworth will become
