At the end of fiscal year 1991, the supply stores held $144 million in inventory, including $40 million categorized as excess to depot needs. At the request of the Chairman, Subcommittee on Readiness, House Committee on Armed Services, GAO reviewed depot material management practices to (1) evaluate depot efforts to minimize excess inventories and (2) determine whether the depots had complied with instructions prohibiting the accumulation of off-record, or unrecorded, inventory.
