A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO SELECT THE CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, OFFICE OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTER OF THE NAVAL SUPPLY CENTER AS A DEFENSE FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING SERVICE REGIONAL CENTER.

Whereas, the Finance and Accounting Service of the United States Department of Defense is contemplating establishing regional centers for the purpose of providing accounting and financial services for all of the department's components located within a geographical area; and

Whereas, the Charleston, South Carolina, office of the Financial Information Processing Center of the Naval Supply Center is already scheduled to become part of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service by having been selected as a Defense Civilian Payroll System consolidation payroll office; and

Whereas, in this capacity as a consolidation payroll office the center served ten thousand five hundred payroll accounts in fiscal year 1991 and is expected to serve almost fifty-six thousand by the end of fiscal year 1992; and

Whereas, providing this payroll service for the Defense Finance and Accounting Service has demonstrated the Charleston Financial Information Processing Center's expertise and ability to excel in providing consolidated services in a rapidly changing system; and

Whereas, the Charleston center has a cadre of talented people experienced in military and civilian accounting, vendor invoice payment, payroll, and disbursement who are skilled in the latest automatic data processing and network technologies; and

Whereas, the Charleston, South Carolina, area offers affordable housing, excellent schools, highly regarded public safety and transportation services, a myriad of cultural and recreational activities, advanced environmental and waste handling programs, a pleasant and temperate climate, and a very favorable cost of living; and

Whereas, the elected leadership of the local county and municipal governments have joined together in a pledge to provide a compelling level of community support by providing an incentive package from local government to build the facilities necessary to house a three thousand to five thousand person Defense Finance and Accounting Service regional center. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina by this resolution urges the United States Department of Defense to select the Charleston, South Carolina, office of the Financial Information Processing Center of the Naval Supply Center as a regional center for its Defense Finance and Accounting Service.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Comptroller of the Department of Defense, Sean O'Keefe, The Pentagon, Room 3E822, Washington, D. C. 20310, and to each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation in Washington, D. C.
