Conditional Donation of an FAD Aircraft

Abstract

Introduction. This report is the sixth in a series resulting from our audit of Controls Over the Reutilization, Transfer, Donation, and Sales of Munitions List Items (Project No. 5FJ-5024). The former Director, Defense Logistics Agency, requested the audit. Other published reports in the series are summarized in Appendix B. Munitions list items are military items that require special handling at disposal to prevent their unauthorized use by domestic or foreign entities. The Air Force planned to request a waiver of DoD demilitarization requirements and donate a flyable F-4D aircraft to the Collings Foundation (a nonprofit, educational foundation). The F-4 "Phantom" aircraft is a high-performance, supersonic fighter bomber that was developed for the Air Force and is still in use in foreign countries worldwide. On April 7, 1997, we issued a memorandum requesting that the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Logistics) delay his decision on the Air Force waiver until we had an opportunity to complete the audit of the planned donation.
