   Air Force Efforts To Avoid

   Inappropriate Disposal Of Materials




   During an inspection conducted between
   December 1983 and June 1984, the Air
   Force Inspector General determined that
   the Air Force was disposing of assets
   which were needed to support active wea-
   pon systems or to satisfy other require-
   ments. As a result, Headquarters, Air Force,
   on March 5, 1984, imposed a moratorium
   on the disposal of Air Force material. Un-
   der the rules for the moratorium, material
   qualified for disposal only if it met specific
   criteria.

   At the request of Senator Grassley, GAO
   reviewed a limited number of material dis-
   posals initiated by the Warner Robins and
   San Antonio Air Logistics Centers to deter-
   mine whether the material qualified for
   disposal under the rules of the moratorium.
   In analyzing judgemental samples of 47
   disposals at Warner Robins and 23 at San
   Antonio, GAO found 9 disposals at each
   activity which, in its opinion, did not qualify
   for disposal.
