Accounting Office recently
announced that, after visiting all
78 Army storage sites for the hand-
held Stinger, Redeye and Dragon
missiles, thousands were unac-
counted for in the Army's records.

More Stingers (7,732) and
Redeyes (5,230) were on hand than
records indicated, but 9,744 fewer
Dragons were found.

An U.S. Army spokesman said
it was allia paperwork problem,

that there were “no reports” of any

missiles being lost, stolen or mis-
placed.

According to an October report
from U.S. Rep. John Dingell,
defense contractors recently billed
the federal government for such
inappropriate employee perks as
$263,000 for a Smokey Robinson

_ concert; $20,194 for “professional

quality” golf balls; $63,000 for
crystal decanters for employce
awards; and $17,000 to hire refer-
ees and umpires for office sports
leagues.

in - more — severe disciplinary
action,” read the reprimand,

“including suspension or removal :

from the Postal Service.”

Said the supervisor, Michael :
Hannon: “It would become an abu- ;
if every employee.

sive situation”
