    The Honorable
    The Secretary of Health,
       Education, and Welfare

    Dear Mr. Secretary:

          As part of. our ongoing review activities, we studied
     certain management practices at the National Institute of
     Education (NIE). Part of our effort was to identify dis-
     crepancies or areas of weakness in personnel and manpower
     functions, such as those reported in our letter of August
     13, 1976, to the Director of NIE:

          --Employee development and training.

          --Employee performance ratings.

          --Monitoring the use of consultants.

          Congressional interest in manpower planning systems
    development was evident during the fiscal year 1973 appro-
    priations hearings before the House Appropriations Sub-
    committee on Labor, Health, Education, and.Welare. During
    those hearings, Department officials said that a manpower
    utilization unit had been established in the Office of the
    Secretary and that a manpower management system would be
    established in each Department agency. NIE has not success-
    fully developed a manpower planning system and more work is
    necessayv to establish such a system.

         We worked primarill at NIE's Office of Administration
    and Management, aal the results of our work were discussed
    with the Director and other NIE officials on April 30, 1976.

          In his letter of May 24, 1976, the Director of NIE
    informed us of c:irrent or anticipated actions to correct the
    deficiencies that were found. He also said that although a
    manpower planning system had not been developed, it had been


                                                         HRD-77-1
