Abstract

This report responds to your letter of December 19, 1985, asking that we update our report, Potential For Excess Funds in DOD (GAO/NSIAD-85-145, Sept. 3, 1985). In particular, you requested (1) updated estimates of any inflation dividend--which we define as the appropriation of funds for inflation in defense program costs which exceed the amounts necessary to finance actual inflation-- and (2) updated information on Department of Defense (DOD) unobligated balances.
