     We have evaluated the alleged improprieties at the
Eugene, Oregon, Post Office as you jointly recuested in
your Aoril 28, 1975, letter. As agreed with your offices,
we met with the Eugene local American Postal Workers Union
representatives and grouped their allegations into five
categories.


     We interviewed Postal Service and union representatives,
examined Postal Service :eports and documrents, observed
mail-processing operations at the Eugene Post Office, and
reviewed Postal Inspection Service reports on that post
office.

     The allegations and a summary of oL findings follow.
A more detailed discussion of each alleqaticn can be found
in the enclosure.

1. Work Load Recording System falsificdtion. We found no
evidence of deliberate flsification eTFor---k Load Recordina
System records. HowEver, certain interr,-l controls were
weak, leaving the svstem vulnerable to m-nirulation. We
m    no Lecommendatlons to Euqene postal management for
strengthening the internal controls because' the Postal
Service recognized the weaknesses and implemented a new
system, the Management Operatirg Data system, in Seotember
1975.
