Statement of Henry W. Connor Senior Associate Director Supply, Maintenance and Distribution Group Procurement Logistics and Readiness Division Before the Subcommittee on Legislation and National Security Government Operations Committee House of Representatives on Better Management and Accountability are Needed for Government Material Furnished to Defense Contractors

Abstract

We are pleased to be here today to discuss our work on the problems that the Department of Defense and the Services have in managing and accounting for material they furnish to defense contractors. As previously agreed with your staff our testimony will address only Defense's management of Government furnished material (GFM) and not the other categories of government property. The Department of Defense gives billions of dollars of material to contractors for use on Defense contracts. For many years, GAO and Defense internal audit staffs have issued numerous reports on the continuing problems in accounting for this material after it has been given to the contractors.
