handle is hein.gao/gaobabart0001 and id is 1 raw text is: VVWVI I -X~fI B TlE JS GENERAL ACCOUNI NG OFF CE Report To The Secretary Of Defense Better Controls And Data Needed To Distribute Defense Medical Supplies Defense medical supply distribution is hindered by inventories that are too large and too old, limited monitoring of purchasing and delivery systems, and overstocked supply systems. Pa- cific area medical facilities were maintaining millions of dollars of inventory above their authorized operating levels. During the first quarter of fiscal year 1979, $10 million of the Defense Logistics Agency's perishable inven- tory was unusable or restricted for issue because shelf life would expire soon. Consolidating medical support functions in the Pacific should reduce costs and improve controls. 112642 U LCD-80-77 JUNE 25, 1980
