Chairman: Subject: The Separation of Peace Corps from ACTION (ID-82-24) Title VI of the International Security and Development Coop- eration Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-113, Dec. z9, 1981), estab- lishea the Peace Corps as an independent agency within the executive branch, separate from ACTION. Pursuant to this same legislation, the Director, Office of Management ana Budget (OMB), was required to submit a report by February 15, 1982, to the Con- gress and to the Comptroller General on the steps taken to imple- rcient the provisions of the act. OMb has submittea its report which includes the disposition of aurainistrative matters reiating to personnel, assets, liabilities, contracts, property, records, ana unexpended balances of appropriations, authorizations, allo- cations, and other funas employea, used, held, or available for Peace Corps functions. Section 601 of the act requires that the Comptroller General submit a report to the appropriate committees of the Congress by March 1, 1982, stating whether he believes the determinations made by the OB Director were equitable. Since the legislation was enacted on December 29, 1981, our Oftice has followea the separa- tion action with appropriate officials of OMB, the Peace Corps, and ACTION. In following the separation process, we held several meetings with these officials and with officials of the collective bargaining unit that represents personnel involved in the trans- fer. Ve have examinea the OMB determination order ana the report to the Congress, including the lists of tuna balances, personnel, property, records, and contracts involved in the transfer. This information resulted from meetings, discussions, and working group agreements among the agencies, and represents agreements reachea Jointly by ACTION ana Peace Corps, and concurred in by OMB. In a few instances, Peace Corps ana ACTiON reached agreement after further consultation with OiNB. Accoraing to officials ot the three agencies, it was unnecessary for GmB to formally inter- vene ana resolve any undecided matters. OhtB and agency officials II Nl 97l2II °°N !119772
