Supplement to Audit Report 91-029- Utilization of the William Langer Jewel Bearing Plant

Abstract

Having fully considered management responses to Report No. 91-029 as well as the results of our follow-on work, we revised the thrust of our recommendations. Essentially, we recommended that the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Production and Logistics) take the following sequence of actions: establish qualitative and quantitative requirements that will result in the optimum use of the facility, establish criteria for stockpiling jewel bearings, determine a cost- effective method of acquiring jewel bearing blanks, delete FAR provisions mandating use of the Langer Plant, determine the optimum future status of the Plant, and return the management of the dosimeter facility to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
