revisionofdollar00mark.pdf (2.665Mb)Abstract
This thesis will define and analyze the Department of
Defense proposal to revise the method of determining whether
items of equipment are financed from Procurement accounts or
Operation and Maintenance accounts.
Problems with the method currently in use are explained,
along with Congressional objection to the Department of
Defense proposal of revision.
Data on the cost of items of equipment are presented
and analyzed to determine the adequacy of the current dollar
threshold that determines whether items are funded from
Procurement accounts or Operation and Maintenance accounts.
A method for determining a dollar threshold that will better
meet the needs of the Department of Defense and still be
acceptable to Congress is explained.
