Committee Report Faults Army Airfield and Navy Warehouses
Congressmen on the House Government Operations Committee accuse the Army of building an airfield at Fort Carson Colorado and at Sharpe General Depot California in violation of law and regulations. They also fault the Navy for excessive Beaufort South Carolina warehouse facilities costing 730000 while noting careless planning and mismanagement within the Navy Department. The findings echo a prior Ft. Lee Virginia case and imply a broader pattern of funds misuse by Army officers.
