6 Subtitle C—Depot-Level Activities

7 SEC. 321. FINDINGS.

8 The Congress finds the following:

9 (1) By providing the Armed Forces with a criti10 cal capacity to respond to the needs of the Armed

11 Forces for depot-level maintenance and repair of

12 weapon systems and equipment, the depot-level

13 maintenance and repair activities of the Department

14 of Defense play an essential role in maintaining the

15 readiness of the Armed Forces.

16 (2) The consolidation of entities within the de17 fense industry has jeopardized the capability of the

18 defense industry to perform maintenance and repair

19 of weapon systems and equipment.

20 (3) The defense industry maintains not less

21 than 60 percent of the total capability to perform

22 maintenance and repair of weapon systems and

23 equipment.
71

•HR 4301 EH

1 (4) The capability of the depot-level mainte2 nance and repair activities of the Department of De3 fense to perform maintenance and repair of weapon

4 systems and equipment should not be determined by

5 policies established by the defense industry.

6 (5) Reductions in the number of civilian em7 ployees of the depot-level maintenance and repair ac8 tivities of the Department of Defense may account

9 for approximately 80 percent of all reductions in the

10 coming years in the number of civilian employees of

11 the Department.

12 (6) An increase from one fiscal year to the next

13 in the amount of funds available for the mainte14 nance and repair of weapon systems and equipment

15 does not necessarily result in a corresponding in16 crease in the performance of such maintenance and

17 repair.
