Summary

As you requested, we reviewed the justifications for the fiscal year 1993 budget requests of $ 1.7 billion for the following 13 missile systems procured by the Army: the Hellfire Optimized Missile System (HoMs); the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRs); the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS); the Tube-Launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided Missile System (Tow); the Patriot; the Javelin; the Extended Range Interceptor Technology (ERINT) program; the Theater High Altitude Area Defense System and related Ground Based Radar; the Corps Surface-to-Air Missile; the Brilliant Antitank Weapon; the Avenger; and the Stinger. We also reviewed the Navy's fiscal year 1993 requests of $50.5 million for the HOMS and $23.9 million for the TOW for the Marine Corps. In addition, we reviewed selected segments of appropriations for prior years, including the fiscal year 1991 Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm supplemental appropriation, to determine whether unused funds could be rescinded. In September 1992, we briefed your staffs on the results of our review. This report summarizes those results. As shown in table 1, we identified $47.4 million in potential reductions and rescissions to 5 of the 13 missile programs we reviewed: $22.2 million in potential reductions to the fiscal year 1993 requests for 2 systems, $ 17.8 million in potential rescissions from the fiscal year 1992 appropriation for 2 systems, and $7.4 million in potential rescissions from the fiscal year 1991 Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm supplemental appropriation for 1 system
