GAO sent a letter to the Secretary of the Army on
June 7, 1989, which identified matters that GAO believed warranted the
Secretary’s immediate attention. (See app. 11.) GAO did not receive a
response to the letter.
Recommendations
GAO recommends that the Secretary of Defense
-
direct the Army and the Marine Corps to use a
substitute for DS2 and all services to eliminate DS2 from their
inventory of decontaminants and
-
direct the Director, Defense Logistics Agency, to
ensure that DS2 is not available to the general public and that DS2
sales are restricted to recyclers.
Agency Comments
As requested, GAO did not obtain written agency
comments on this report. However, GAO discussed a draft of this report
with Department of Defense officials and incorporated their comments
where appropriate.
