This report describes ways in which appropriated and nonappropriated funds were used to support morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) activities, which include child care, at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina, and the Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort, South Carolina. In addition, the report provides information on child care center user fee income and reviews the circumstances concerning user fee increases at these two installations. Of particular concern to the Congressional requesters was the issue of why user fees increased during 1988 and why rates at the installations (located about 10 miles apart) differed by as much as 37% on October 1, 1988. After a summarizing letter to the requesting chairperson, Appendix I discusses in detail the information obtained on MWR funding and income, factors affecting user fee decisions, and issues related to child care funding. Appendix II lists by category MWR recreation activities supported by the two installations. Appendix III identifies major contributors to the report. (RH)
