Summary:

An April 1992 memorandum, signed by the Defense Printing Service's Executive Director, said that the Southeast Area headquarters could be shifted from Charleston, South Carolina, to Norfolk, Virginia, because most of the Southeast Area's facilities, work load, and customers are found in Virginia. In another document, the Defense Printing Service's Management Office said that the relocation would save about $30,000 annually in travel expenses to Norfolk. The Management Office, however, could not provide GAO with data supporting its decision. In particular, it could not justify its conclusion that the Southeast Area headquarters personnel could do their jobs better if they moved to Norfolk. The Management Office also had not done a cost analysis to see whether the relocation would yield savings. Without analysis of these issues, there is no way of knowing whether the relocation will produce more efficient and cost-effective operations.
