The Department Of Defense's Continued Failure To Charge For Using Government-Owned Plant And Equipment For Foreign Military Sales Costs Millions

Abstract

Although Government-owned plant and equipment are used to produce items sold to other countries, these countries generally have not been charged for their use. As a result, foreign governments have been subsidized by as much as $107 million for those sales reviewed by GAO. Although several reports have been issued by GAO and the military service audit agencies regarding this matter, effective action has not been taken. A special effort should be made by Defense to improve its systems for charging foreign countries for the use of Government-owned plant and equipment for foreign military sales.
