Consolidation of the Air Force's Environmental and Radiological Health Laboratories

The Secretary of the Air Force announced the consolidation at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas, of the environmental health laboratories located at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, and the McClellan Air Force Base, California, and the radiological health laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. GAO believes the Air Force's proposed use of minor military construction funds to finance building modifications and other construction work needed to support the consolidation is contrary to the spirit and purpose of the applicable U.S. statute and its implementing regulations.
