Over the years, the Congress has made it clear that Defense appropriations are not to be used to subsidize the foreign sales program. However, according to GAO estimates, over $8 million of Defense appropriations were used to subsidize the foreign military sales program in fiscal 1979 at four inventory control points because of inadequacies in estimating replacement costs of secondary items sold from inventory.

GAO is recommending actions, including legislative changes, necessary to improve Defense's pricing policies and procedures for sales of secondary items. (Author)
