Summary:

A review of the methods of disposal of commodities after termination of assistance programs in Indochina revealed problems and needs for future improvement. The Agency for International Development (AID) and the Department of Agriculture took control of commodities in transit worth an estimated $54.3 million.

In terminating the pipelines and disposinq of goods in transit, these agencies incurred costs and losses of millions of dollars. Some costs could have been reduced if the Department of Agriculture had not required immediate disposal of commodities or had reprogrammed them, and if AID had more effective procedures to dispose of commodities.
