-~    ?.   Failure to fund the DMIS~ ~ou'ld negate our ability to rebuild
      masks and adversely impact our reconstitution plan.   Under present
      policy, the T&EUs exchange machine failures on site ~ith masks
      provided by Integrated Logistics Support Directorate (ILSD) on a
      temporary loan basis.    These failures are then sent to Pine Eluff,
      rebuilt, and returned to the T&EUs for additional exchanges.   Loss
      of Dt1IS~ funding ~ould either prevent one for one exchange by the
      T&EUs or force ILSD to provide the exchanges.   This would cause a
      draw down without replenishment to on hand stocks.

      (3.  Under the current DMIS~ it costs approximately ~l0(3.00 per
      mask for rebui Id.   \Ae anticipate a potential requirement for
      approximately 3,000 masks per quarter.   ~vailability of new masks
      is limited at the source of supply (Pt~R assets only) and we do not
      anticipate the asset posture to improve significantly until the
      M40 series mask is fielded.    ~est estimates for initial deliveries
      of the M40 are 2D quarter CY 91.
