Many of the deficiencies cited in this report could have been prevented if NASA had re- sponded effectively to findings and recom- mendations included in previous GAO and NASA internal audit reports. Actions being taken to improve NASA's equipment manage- ment and accounting systems are cited in the report. FGMSD-75-27 JAN. 1 6,1 976
