An earlier General Accounting Office (GAO) report to the Congress on the rescue vehicle's development, in February 1970, indicated that the increased effectiveness to be obtained from producing four more vehi- cles in addition to the two already on order, would be small in rela- tion to their cost of purchase and operation.
