The stockpile was established to minimize dependence on foreign sources of these materials. Because of changes in mobilization planning and modernization of weapon systems, stockpiling requirements for many materials have been reduced dramatically during the last two decades. The Defense Logistic Agency's Defense National Stockpile Center manages the stockpile program and is responsible for the sale of materials that exceed stockpile requirements. Concerns have arisen over whether existing cash balances and projected collections from stockpile gross sales will meet all expected stockpile transaction fund outlays for fiscal years 2000-2010. GAO found that the National Defense Stockpile transaction fund's projected long-term outlays exceed projected collections from gross sales. The projections do not include all likely outlays, so the timing and size of a gap between available funds and outlays is unclear. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-17/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-17.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-17/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-17.pdf GAO-01-17 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-17 Letter Report GAO-01-17; National Defense Stockpile: Improved Financial Plan Needed; Sales Military inventories Surplus federal property Future budget projections Budget outlays Budget receipts Financial management National Defense Stockpile National Defense Stockpile Transaction Fund Public Law 101-576 Public Law 103-356 Public Law 104-106 Public Law 104-201 Public Law 105-65 Public Law 105-85 Public Law 105-261 Public Law 106-65
