[[Page 42794]]

of the public is collected only by Army law enforcement authorized 
personnel. The frequency of sex offender registration with the Provost 
Marshal Office (PMO) is not under the control of any Army law 
enforcement personnel, it is the responsibility of the sex offender who 
lives or works on the Army installations to follow Army policy and 
report to the PMO within 3 working days of assignment to the 
installation. Sex offenders could live or work on an Army installation 
and live in government housing near schools or daycare without Army law 
enforcement's knowledge. Army law enforcement would be less able to 
complete its mission to provide security and law enforcement to 
safeguard personnel living and working on Army installations.
