Financial Management: DOD's Efforts to Improve Operations of the Defense
Business Operations Fund (Testimony, 04/28/94, GAO/T-AIMD/NSIAD-94-170).

This testimony presents GAO's views on the Defense Department's (DOD)
operation and management of the Defense Business Operations Fund.  The
fund, which started up in 1989, will have estimated revenues of about
$77 billion in fiscal year 1995, making it equivalent to some of the
world's largest corporations.  The fund operates on a break-even basis
and provides the military services with goods and services, such as the
overhaul of ships, tanks, and aircraft, as well as more than five
million types of vital inventory, such as aircraft landing gear.  GAO
discusses DOD's (1) progress in improving fund operations, (2)
development of the fiscal year 1995 prices the fund will charge its
customers, and (3) management of the fund's capital asset program.
