The Honorable Harrison H. Schmitt
Chairman, Subcommittee on Science,
  Technology and Space
Committee on Commerce, Science and
  Transportation
United States Senate


Dear Mr. Chairman:

     As requested in your letter of January 28, 1982, we have
evaluated the Department of Defense (DOD) comments on our report
Consolidated Space Operations Center Lacks Adequate DOD Planning
(MASAD-82-14, Jan. 29, 1982). These comments were included in
our report unevaluated because they were received after the 30-
day period required by Public Law 96-226, and our reporting dead-
line precluded a detailed evaluation in the report.

     Basically, DOD agrees with the facts we found during our
review of the Consolidated Space Operations Center siting decision.
However, they disagree with our interpretation of these findings
and our recommendations based thereon. We have addressed each
of their concerns in our enclosed evaluation.
I
     Copies of this report are being sent to the President of
he Senate, Speaker of the House of Representatives, chairmen
f the Senate Appropriations Committee and Subcommittee on Defense,
Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Secretary of
Defense, and other interested parties. We will also make this
evaluation available to the public on request.

                                 Sincerely yours,        /    11  II I



                                        Wele,117917
