Van Dyke, J.

Ms. Diane Matz Butlak, Air Force Space Command, Mr. Gerald Boes, SAIC Santa Barbara, and I visited Thule AB to collect data and document proposed actions for consolidating and reducing costs of operating Thule AB. Extensive interviews with Greenland Contractor personnel responsible for developing plans to consolidate Thule indicated that existing estimates of cost savings from Base consolidation measures have excluded a significant portion of potential cost savings. The existing estimates of savings do not include some operations of the indirect benefits and overhead necessary to support Contractor operation of the Base. Also fuel savings resulting from the proposed Base Consolidation and more efficient energy facilities have been calculated using $.65 per gallon of Diesel Fuel-Arctic. This rate should be carefully examined to determine whether it reflects the real cost of delivered fuel to the Base.
