     The Honorable
     The Secretary of Defense

     Dear Mr. Secretary:

          We reviewed the TRANSJLQ _Pszo~g.ram shortly after its
     initiation in 1968 and reported to the Congress in Decem-
     ber 1969 that improvements were necessary to achieve pro-
     gram objectives. In reply, your office expressed an
     awareness of the problems and identified 'several measures
     which would be taken to raise the level of program accom-
     pl ishment.

          We recently completed a followup review of the TRANSI-
     TION Program. This review was primarily an evaluation of
     the Program at the installation level. The outreach,
     caQuisaLLn-g, t raJinng, and job .placemenmt phases were evaluated
     at Fort Bragg, Fort Riley, Fort Leonard Wood, San Diego
     Naval Station, March Air Force Base, Camp Lejeune, and the,
     Skill Center at Forbes Air Force Base. We also evaluated
     the Program's overall management in the context of direc-
     tion, control, and surveillance of its operations at the
     departmental level.

          Although congressional action has terminated the
     TRANSITION Program in its present mode, we believe that
     the results of our review may benefit your planning for
     any future programs that would have similar or related ob-
     jectives. With this in mind, we are providing the follow-
     ing summary of our suggestions and illustrations of our
     findings on which those suggestions are based.

          --To effectively reach the target group of such pro-
            grams, we suggest that program administration at
            the local level include disciplined controls to
