         The Honorable
         The Secretary of Defense

         Dear Mr. Secretary:

              Durin our recent review of problems facing Federal agen-
         cies in recruiting and retaining physicians and dentists, we
         sent questionnaires concerning employee satisfaction and job
         intentions to military physicians and dentists. We also sent
         questionnaires to former uniformed physicians and dentists
         to determine why they left the service.

              In a report to the Congress we summarized the responses
         to these questionnaires. 1/ In transmitting the draft of that
         report to you, we stated That a more complete presentation of
         the results may be of interest to DOD and that we would pro-

         for those who answered a particular question and does not

         r spondents answered each question, and, for certain ques-
         tions, respondents could give more than one answer.

         the 2,534 physicians and 304 dentists who were in the mili-
         tary and were serving at the 13 locations we visited. (See

              A total of 121 physicians and dentiats whc had completed
