Recommendations
Matter for Congressional Consideration
| Matter | Status | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| The Subcommittee may wish to direct DLA to document detailed system cost information and display all relevant costs in required exhibits 43A-1 and 43B in future congressional budget submissions. | The Subcommittee did not implement the GAO suggestion and does not intend to do so. | |
| The Subcommittee may wish to consider requesting that DLA postpone obligating the $24.1 million until the agency develops and provides the Subcommittee with additional justification for including these purchases in an operations and maintenance program. | The House Appropriations Committee reduced the DLA FY 1989 budget by $20 million. Although the Senate subsequently disagreed with the House and proposed no reduction, the appropriation conferees agreed to an $11 million reduction. |
