The DoD's budget request for FY1997 included over $89 billion for O&M accounts, about 37% of DoD's request. DoD estimates that in FY2001, O&M will represent about 36% of its total budget. Because O&M funds represent the largest share of DoD's budget, this report (1) determined how annual funding relates to military and civilian personnel levels through FY2001, (2) identified overall trends from FY1985 to 2001, and (3) identified key drivers (areas in which most money has been budgeted) through FY2001. Explains the reasons for major changes in funding due to migrations of funds between O&M programs and activities. Charts and tables.

In the early 1980s, two water-supply systems on the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina were found to be contaminated with the industrial solvents trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE). The water systems were supplied by the Tarawa Terrace and Hadnot Point watertreatment plants, which served enlisted-family housing, barracks for unmarried service personnel, base administrative offices, schools, and recreational areas. The Hadnot Point water system also served the base hospital and an industrial area and supplied water to housing on the Holcomb Boulevard water system (full-time until 1972 and periodically thereafter). This book examines what is known about the contamination of the water supplies at Camp Lejeune and whether the contamination can be linked to any adverse health outcomes in former residents and workers at the base.
