Congress has provided In 5 U.8.O, 78(a) that appropri.- ated funds shall not be used for the purohase of passenger motor vehicles unless such use is expressly authorise4 in the particular approprIation, Pursuant to this provision, each annual appropriation for AEC contains an appropriation for the use of funds for the pufthase of a specified number or passenger motor vehicles. There is a breakdown in the nmber authorixed between those to be purchased as additionst and those to be purchazed as roplacements., P r example, the Appropriation fat for-fiscal year 1962 (75 Stat. 730) appro priates funds for the pUrohase (not to exceed rou hundred and thirty-two, *f which three hundred and tourteen are for replacement only) and hire of passen|ger motor vehioles. Our review of motor vehicle utilization by AEC dis- closed that at two looations, pickup trucks of one ton or less were being used as substitutes for passenger-oarrying vehicles, thereby releasing passenger motor vehicles for other uses and, in effect, augmenting the vehicle fleet. At one location, five pickup trucks were purchased for the appar ent purpose of replaoing five passenger sedans assigned to newly established funotions. The following details are offered: 1. At the savannah kitver Operations Offloee (SRO0), Aiken, South Carolina, we noted that about 130- pickup trucks of some 185 reviewed were being used as substitutes for pasenger-oarryIng vehicles rat-her than for nozimal trucking
