     The Honorable
     The Secretary, Department of Health, 9.              I
     Education, and Welfare                                 LM096140

     Dear Mr. Secretary:

         The Federal Personnel and Compensation Division of the
    General Accounting Office, as part of its overall plan to
    review training and education programs for civilian employees
    in the Federal Government, completed a limited survey of these
    programs in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
    (HEW) and in its constituent agencies, including the Office of
    the Secretary. Our survey disclosed that there is a need to
    strengthen the role of the Office of Personnel and Training
    in providing leadership and guidance to insure that HEW sys-
    tematically develops plans and programs for training and
    evaluates the extent to which such programs are achieving
    their intended objectives.

         In April 1973, we prepared a statement of conditions and
    conducted structured briefings with HEW officials to present
    the details of our findings. We believe the following in-
    formation will be of value to you in formulating current plans
    for reorganizing and realining training programs and in con-
    sidering whether HEW has sufficient staff for appropriately
    emphasizing the training function.

    BACKGROUND

         The Federal Personnel Manual requires each agency to de-
    velop written policies to govern the training of agency employ-
    ees. The manual requires the head of each agency to take
    administrative action to insure that

         --plans and programs are developed to meet agency short-
           and long-range training needs,
