European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 1, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday August 1, 1986 the stars and stripes Page 11 clarification of vehicle registration fees Arm Landers i read with interest the article about Usa eur raising the Price of vehicle registration in the Central Region from s5 to Seq. Reasons cited for he Price hike were some increased costs but basically the need to generate Revenue for the morale and welfare fund. I can understand increased costs maybe for initial registrations hut certainly not for annual renewals which arc merely updating statistical data about the vehicle owner and issuing a new month decal for the  True questions Here revolve around the Genera Tion of Revenue for the morale and welfare fun first i question the legality of appropriated fund activities being used to produce Revenue for a non appropriate fund activity morale and welfare. Second what is the intended distribution of this Revenue the article did not specifically say that the Money would of divided per capita to the component commands based on the service of the individual charged Chi 100 percent increase. I had the distinct impression after Reading the panicle that the entire additional Revenue would be channelled to the Usa eur Moreale and welfare fund. If this is the Case i strongly object to Usa eur telling me hat i have to fund in morale and welfare program for the privilege of owning and operating my vehicles. This is tantamount to telling everybody with a vehicle that they must contribute to the army Relief society or other programs. If any program manager can hold people hostage in this Way what will keep other activities from surcharging their captives in order to supplement the income funding of their programs this would seem to be the very same taxation without representation we dealt with More than 200 years ago. I think the Large number of vehicle owners Are owed an answer on these questions. Even if our component commands coordinated on Usa eur s plan to raise prices it is an unethical and possibly illegal Means of raising Revenue for morale and welfare activities even if the funds will be distributed to the other component commands. In other activities which raise funds for morale and welfare purposes i have the Choice of whether to participate by my Psi Ronac. With Over 200,000 vehicles registered by Usa eur we re talking about More than is million being taken from owners with no Vole on the matter. . Newlon senior master sgt.

The fee increase from s5 to $10 was 10 insure that the vehicle registry has the working capital and to generate funds in sup port of morale welfare recreation activities. The License plates decals and registration certificate represents Only � fraction of the total Cost of registrations renewals the personnel and computer costs involved in the processing of applications represent the larger costs. The second reply is front a Ijac Kinnaman morale welfare and recreation division. Office of the djs Ute chief of staff personnel Hau i eur the initiative to increase vehicle registration fees was endorsed for staffing and coordination with he Safe by the Usa eur mar review committee ump req. Us Krc membership represents the interest i of soldiers civilians and family members of each Usa Keur major command. Other Neucom component commands Safe and us Askuk were involved in the final decision to increase the few. The basis for the fee increase was to offset in creased registration fund costs and to provide additional Revenue to support the mar and family pro Gram needs of . Forces members stationed at Small and Remote installations. The ump arc membership deemed it prudent and necessary to lend support to mar programs at re Mote Sites which have limited potential to be fully self sufficient. Funding support provided to . Forces members at Remote Sites some of which Are 45 min utes away from the nearest City is a Premium invest ment of mar dollars. Regarding your questions As to legality and distribution of Revenue let me assure you the Usa eur registration fund is a non appropriated fund instr Macii Faliti i.e., it to not an  fund activity generating Revenue for a non appropriated activity. Let me clarify the Revenue distribution procedure. The additional Revenue will be channelled to the Usa eur mar fund however a pro Rala share of the Revenue will be distributed to Safe and Una  based on their percent of total registrations. Usa eur mar fund will retain Only the army share of Revenue generated. In conclusion regret any  that May have resulted from the recent vehicle registration fee increase. We Hope is. Forces members serving in Europe will accept the fee increase As a Means of enhancing the Quality of life for those at Remote Sites and Small installations lacking capacity to generate sufficient funds. Also want to note that the usar eur registration fund fees Are still substantially less than both local european be and those of most . Stales.
