how long he estimated it would take for him
to assume responsibility for the
plant account property in a proner manner.
He estimates approximately two (2) months,
Not understanding tue condition
of the account, I questioned him as to why he folt such a long period would
be required to take over this plant account. I was conducted on a brief
inspection of his area where considerable supplies are stored outside, sub-
jectto the elements, A great nartion of these were represented to me as
components of sets, such as SCR399 and 49°, which have becn issued to AACS
people from Base Sup:ly and only a relatively few of the components actually
placed in use, Some of these are scattered out into various locaticns where
AACS property is in use in this arca, for example, Bikini. I was not shown
any records which would indicate that a locator systam is in use for the
control of this property, Time did not permit going into every detail of
the operation, therefore, same t;pe of locator system may be in use but it
was not brought to ny attention.
In addition, I noted items which it secmed
possible might be excoss to their requiraments and asked
__ .
why
he had not turned-in these items, An cyample was anproxdmatcly twenty (20)
or twenty-five (25) BC779 recciver and power supdi7 units in storag: ina
hut. He stated he did not have authority to turn these items in to Base
Supply and declare them excess to necds of this operation, Realizing that
I am not in any position to judge whether the items are in cxcess I made
no further investigation of the matter. °
