handle is hein.gao/gaobackba0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 5-247993 United States Senate 146658 The Honorable Tony P. Hall The Honorable David L. Hobson The Honorable John P. Murtha House of Representatives This letter responds to your October 24, 1991, request that we review the Department of Defense's (DOD) decision to terminate the Air Force Joint Uniform Services Technical Information System (JUSTIS) program. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Comand, Control, Communications, and Intelligence, on October 4, 1991, ordered that 0 Othe JUSTIS program be terminated, on the grounds that a related project--the Army Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistics Support (ACALS) program--could address over 50 percent of JUSTIS program requirements.1 To assess the basis for this decision, we interviewed Air Force, Army, and DoD officials and reviewed documentation concerning JUSTIS and ACALS. We discussed the contents of this letter with responsible DOD officials and they agreed with the facts as presented. g BACKGROUND The JUSTIS and ACALS programs, two ofDOD's Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistics Support (CALS) initiatives, were being developed under the auspices of the Assistant Secretary of Defense Q for Production and Logistics.2 The goal of the CALS initiative, officially begun in 1985, is to accelerate the move to automated weapons systems support by developing (1) standards for data storage and exchange and (2) automated systems--such as ACALS and JUSTIS--to store, manage, and distribute this technical information to DOD users. 1 When ACALS became a joint DOD program in October 1991, it was renamed the Joint Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistics Support (JCALS) program. 2 As of June 30, 1991, there was a total of 120 ongoing CALS-related programs in DOD.
