DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS PROPERTY OVERSEAS

Mr. DENTON. Do you dispose of surplus military property?
Mr. SIMPSON. Yes, sir.

Mr. DENTON. What about overseas property?

Mr. SIMPSON, We do not bother with those overseas because of the expense involved.

Mr. DENTON, I will tell you why I am asking that question. I received several letters from one man who enclosed an advertisement of surplus property being sold overseas. He said, "We paid for that property. Why don't you bring it over here to us?"

What is the answer to that!

Mr. Simpson. I think really the answer is the costs involved in shipping it back. Actually, when property is sold, personal property par Ticularly, you realize probably somewhere between 10 and 15 cents or the dollar in terms of acquisition cost of the property. (Remember that most of the surplus property generated by the Government is sol right now in this country as well as overseas. It is a relatively smal parcentage, I think less than 30 percent, that becomes available for our program.) History has shown we are only realizing 10 to 15 cents in the dollar at most when surplus property is sold. When you add . transportation costs of bringing it back, you wouldn't realize enouto make it worthwhile.

Mr. DENTON, Who sells it overseas?

Mr. SIMPSON. The Department of Defense sells it overseas.

Mr. PNION. If this man wants to bid on surplus properry, how d he go about it f

ME. SIMPSON. In this country?
