             Lt. Gen. Alonzo E. Short, Jr., USA
             Director, Defense Information Systems Agency

             Arlington, VA 22204-2199

             Dear General Short:

             As you know, section 9047 of the fiscal year 1993 Department
             of Defense Appropriations Act prohibits Defense and the Navy
             from expending funds to implement data center consolidation
             plans or making reductions in force or personnel transfers
             that affect the Naval Computer and Telecommunication Stations;
             Enlisted Personnel Management Center; Naval Reserve Personnel
             Center; and related missions, functions, and commands until
             60 days after submitting a report to the House and Senate
             Committees on Appropriations. The law further stipulates that
             Defense's report include comments and a certification by us
             justifying any consolidations, reductions in force, or
             personnel transfers. This letter provides our comments on
             Defense's report under section 9047 and incorporates your
             staff's comments.

             Your July 30, 1993, report states that the Navy's Information
             Technology Facility (ITF) Consolidation Plan of June 1, 1992,
             and Defense's Data Center Consolidation Plan (as revised July
             16, 1993), taken together, fully comply with the language and
             intent of the appropriations act. However, your response
             addresses just five of the eight elements specified by section
             9047 and, accordingly, we are unable to conclude that Defense
             has satisfied the various reporting requirements of that
             legislation.

             Defense has had two major initiatives to improve the
             effectiveness and reduce the costs of automated data
             processing (ADP) operations. The first, Defense Management
             Review Decision (DRMD) 924, envisioned consolidating such
             operations along military service and Defense agency lines;
