OSTI ID:6663924

This report supplements the information provided in GAO's February 22, 1990, report on DOD's Five- Year Defense Plan. The Conference report on the fiscal year 1988-89 DOD Authorization Act explained that DOD was to show in detail how its plans for the outyears of the five-year period would be affected by the enactment of the aggregate obligational authority for those years set forth in the President's budget. The conferees expected that the Five- Year Defense Plan submissions would be at the same level of detail as the fiscal years 1988 and 1989 budget submissions, together with the associated construction; procurement; and research, development, test, and evaluation annexes. While DOD has submitted budgetary information on planned reductions for fiscal years 1992-94, DOD believes that, given the level of uncertainty in the current international situation, it is not possible to submit a Five-Year Defense Plan that complies with the law. This report agrees with DOD that the information submitted to date is not the submission contemplated by the law.
