     The Honorable
     The Secretary of Health, Education,
       and Welfare

     Dear Mr. Secretary:

          During 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 Public Health Service (PHS) physicians and
     dentists. We also sent questionnaires to former employees
     to determine whey they left PHS and to physicians and den-
     tists who had declined offers of PHS employment.

          In a report to the Congress we summarized the results of
     responses to these questionnaires. l/ In transmitting the
     draft of that repart to you, we stated that a :wore complet2
     presentation of the results may be of interest t PHS an
     that we would provide you with this information. The results
     presented are for those who answered a particular question
     and do not necessarily reflect the total number who re-
     sponded; not all respondents answered each question, and,
     for certain questions, respondents could give more than one
     answer.

     RESULTS OF SURVEY OF PHYSICIANS
     AND DENTISTS EMPLOYED BY PHS

           At the time of our review, 1,749 physicians and 216
      dentists were employed at the 12 PHS locations we visited
      (see enc. I). We sent questionnaires to 188 physicians
      and 31 dentists at these locations. Since the pay, bene-
      fit, and compensation systems vary gieatly between membeLs
