             June 22, 1994

             The Honorable Jim Sasser
             Chairman, Subcommittee on
               Military Construction
            Committee on Appropriations
            United States Senate

            Dear Mr. Chairman:

            This correspondence responds to the requirement contained
            in Senate Report 102-355, dated July 31, 1992. In the
            report, the Senate Appropriations Committee requires GAO
            to perform an annual review of the base closure (BRAC)
            accounts and provide the results to the Committee prior to
            markups on the annual appropriations bills.

            As agreed with your office, we are providing information
            on the amount of appropriations that have been obligated
            for both the BRAC (encl. 1.) and Homeowners Assistance
            Program (encl. 2.) accounts. In summary, as of March 31,
            1994, DOD reported it had obligated about $3.6 billion of
            the $6.7 billion it had been appropriated through fiscal
            year 1994 for BRAC I, BRAC II, and BRAC III. The
            Homeowners Assistance Program expects to have an
            unobligated balance of about $210.7 million by the end of
            fiscal year 1994. DOD is not requesting an appropriation
            for this program in fiscal year 1995.

            We are also sending a copy of this correspondence to the
            Honorable Slade Gorton, the Ranking Minority Member.
            Should you need further assistance, please contact Kenneth
            Knouse, Assistant Director, at (202) 512-9280.

            Sincerely yours,




            Donna Heivilin
