C   Dear Senator Proxmire:

         At hearings before the Subcommittee on'Economy in Gov- 7,:   Thr
 dk ernment, Joint Economic Committee, on July 1, 1970, you asked
    the General Accounting Office to look into the use of auto-
    matic data processing (ADP) equipment operated by three or
    four typical Government contractorsand to provide you with
    information regarding who owi-fh e equipment, how the equip-
    ment is used, and what regulations govern its purchase. In a
    report dated May 21, 1971, by the Subcommittee on Prorities......
 (- and Economy in Government, Joint Economic Committee, you re-
    quested that the General Accounting Office obtain additional
    information concerning Government owned and leased ADP equip-
    ment used by contractors.

         ADP equipment used for carrying out Government contracts
    may be furnished to contractors by the Government or may be
    owned or rented by the contractors. We have examined into the
    acquisition, utilization, and disposal of (1) Government-
  ( furnished ADP equipment at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory,
    Berkeley and Livermore, California, and (2) contractor-
    furnished ADP equipment at three contractor locations--
    Aerojet-General Corporation, Sacramento, California; Lockheed
    Missiles and Space Company, Sunnyvale, California; and Philco-
    Ford Corporation, Palo Alto, California. We will respond at
    a later date to the request made in the Subcommittee report
    dated May 21, 1971.

         At each location we reviewed the contractor's policies,
    procedures, and controls concerning the acquisition, utiliza-
    tion, and disposal of ADP equipment used f-brying out..
    MernmentT~n-fTh ts. We also reviewed the work performed by
    the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) of the costs charged
    to the Government by the three contractors for use of the
    contractor-furnished ADP equipment. We interviewed contractor
  officials and officials of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC),
    DCAA, the Department of Defense (DOD), the General Services
    Administration (GSA), and the National Aeronautics and Space
    Administration (NASA).
