     The Honorable Carl D. Perkins
     House of Representatives

     Dear Mr. Perkins:

           In response to your request of June 29, 1978, we have
     examined allegations concerning the operation of the Federal
     Correctional Institution in Ashland, Kentucky. The results
     of our work at Ashland were discussed with your Administra-
     tive Assistant on October 5, 1978, and it was agreed that our
     report would specifically cover the following allegations:

           --unwarranted adverse actions and poor
             performance evaluations of employees,

           --low employee morale,

           --high personnel turnover under the new
             warden, and

           --unnecessary renovation of the warden's
             residence.

           In investigating the allegations, we were confronted
      with mostly testimonial evidence--some of it confLicting--
      and only limited documentation. Since we could not recon-
      struct the events or find documentary support for much of
      what we were told, we could not fully substantiate or refute
      the allegations. However, we identified some inconsistencies
      in personnel actions and irregularities in the renovation
      work at the institution.

           Since the allegations center on the actions of the
      new warden,.it is important to note that he was assigned
      in July 1977 to straighten out what the regional director
      termed a floundering institution with poor sanitation,

                                                   GGD-79-14
                                                   (18260)
