Dear Mr. IAitehurst:

      Further reference is made to your letter dated October 6, 1970, and
subsquent communications with our representatives, requesting that we
dete imine whether the Government is getting the most for its money under
the present mix of civil service and contract longshoremen and certain
ot feVbtkersOshortshoremen,at the Naval Supply Center, Norfolk,
Virgfiia.

     We have concluded that the present civil service longshoreman force
off 1:2 employees, working in six gangs of 17 men each, and the shortshore-
man tforce recently increased from 50 to 80 employees has proven to be the
most -efficient number of in-house employees, when augnented. by contract
emplcyees as necessary. In making this determination, we reviewed work
load -nd work force statistical data, records, reports, and studies. We
used the criteria provided in Bureau of the Budget Circular No. A-76 in
evalt:ating the Navy's cost study. We also interviewed Supply Center and
Naval Area Audit Office personnel and union officials representing the
civil service workers.

      Uht. Supply Center supplements its civil service work force during
pericads of peak work loads by using contract longshoremen between ships
and Ti:.ers and contract shortshoremen between piers and warehouses. The
contract for these services was competitively awarded in 1969 and was
extenaded to cover 1970. The 1970 contract amount was about $3 million.

     Recently the Supply Center's work load and work force has declined
as sh=n in the following table:
