Although most transfers of these excess defense articles are provided free of charge to eligible countries, some are sold at discounted prices. As U.S. forces downsize, more defense articles are becoming excess and available for transfer. This report reviews the implementation of the excess defense article program, including its scope and growth and the type of items transferred; the process used to report transfers to Congress; the accuracy of pricing/valuing procedures; and aspects of program management, including the identification of excess articles. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-27/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-27.htm GAO/NSIAD-94-27 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-27 Chapter Report GAO/NSIAD-94-27; Security Assistance: Need for Improved Reporting on Excess Defense Article Transfers; Military materiel Foreign military sales costs Foreign military sales Price regulation Accounting procedures International relations Surplus federal property Property disposal Foreign military assistance Reporting requirements NATO DOD Excess Defense Articles Program Portugal Turkey Israel Egypt Morocco Senegal Oman Latin America Thailand Korea Mexico CH-53 Helicopter C-130B Aircraft F-15A/B Aircraft A-7E Aircraft Philippines Chile Ecuador Colombia UH-1H Helicopter M60A1 Tank
