handle is hein.gao/gaobacktn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United States GAO General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-259633 March 2, 1995 The Honorable John Glenn Ranking Minority Member Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate Dear Senator Glenn: In November 1993, we issued a report and testified before your committee on the Army's weak internal controls over small arms parts.1 In response to your August 1994 request, we describe below the corrective actions taken by the Army in responding to that report and testimony. We also discuss the Army's efforts to identify and improve controls over small arms and the extent small arms are lost or stolen in the Army. RESULTS IN BRIEF In response to recommendations in our previous report and testimony on small arms parts, the Army created a Small Arms Task Force. Although initially tasked with addressing small arms parts issues, the task force expanded its work to cover small arms, ammunition, and explosives. To correct the internal control weaknesses it found in each of these areas, the task force prepared a business action plan containing 66 action items. The task force continues to meet quarterly to monitor the Army's progress in addressing these items. Based on these actions and other information we found during our review, it appears that the Army is taking reasonable steps to identify and address control weaknesses over both small arms and small arms parts.
