Thank you for contacting my office regarding Section 764 of the fiscal year
1980 Defense Appropriations Act, which imposed a 2% surcharge on transfers
of surplus property.
Your concern over the cost of the surcharge to recipients in these difficult
times is clearly understood. Although the surcharge was imposed in order to
help offset various administrative expenses associated with the program, it is
my belief that the benefit gained is far outweighed by the cost and inconvenience
to those who must pay it.
Therefore, during ongoing markup of the FY-81 Defense Appropriations Bill, I will
certainly endeavor to see that the surcharge is eliminated. Your input is appreci-
ated inasmuch as the views of those directly involved will weigh heavily with the
Committee.
Again, thank you for sharing your concern with me.
With warm personal regards,
Sincerely,
BC:tnm
