During August 1973, EPA's Inspection Branch was investiiating this matter in response to a request from a United States Senator. To avoid duplication of effort, we awaited completion of the Inspection B;-anch report before hiaking our review. We interviewed your two constituents, NFIC directorate personnel, and other staff members and reviewed the Inspection Branch report and NIIC records related to travel and planning of assignments. Both of your constituents raised questions about travel to Alaska by the Assistant Director for Planning and Management and about the number of trips taken by other top management personnel. One claicd that the Assistant Director routed his trip through Ilawaii at Government expense, and the other said that work required of NFIC personnel at Yuaa, Arizona, and Scottsbluff, Nebraska, deserved higher priority than that in Alaska. Neither constituent is presently employed by E-PA. One was a temporary employee hired for I year and the other obtained a higher paying job elsewhere, They both ,dvisod us that they were assigned to the Chemistry Branch of NFIC, the-y did not travel to Ala:;ka, and their coi-n-,ciL:. to you ;ere bascd oa hcarsay.
