Defense Action To Reduce Charges For Foreign Military Training Will Result In The Loss Of Millions Of Dollars

Abstract

On September 28, 1976, the Department of Defense reduced training charges for foreign military students. GAO estimates that it will cost the United States at least $40.4 million in fiscal year 1977.RecJvery of full cost of providing training to foreign students is required by law. GAO pointed out in a December 14, 1976, report to the Congress (FGMS-76-91) that even prior to the decision to reduce tuition rates, the Defense pricing system was not recovering fall costs. GAO recommended in the December 1976 report that, in addition to rescinding the order to reduce tuition rates, the Secretary of Defense should revise the pricing systems so that all applicable costs are recovered. GAO believes that these recommendations are still valid.
