Ribicoff, Chairman Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs 3,A/ (e-' The Honorable Jack Brooks, Chairman House Committee on Government Opetations 5EObr--V The Honorable James M. Hanley, Chairman House Committee on Post Office and Civil Service This letter expresses our concern about the lack of action tte-sen te-r -s proe 9,1 mt Proposals to Resolve Longstanding Problems in Investigations of Federal Employees (FPCD-77-64). We made recommendations to the Congress and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) which show J A06' --the authority for investigations is out of date and has been eroded by more recent laws and court de- cisions, --OPM does not have adequate classification criteria for agencies to determine the proper investigation, --the national agency check with inquiry (NACI) in- vestigation is inadequate for employees with sensi- tive duties and too extensive for most employees, and --OPM has inadequate controls for disseminating infor- mation to protect individual rights. STATUS OF THE INVESTIGATIVE PROGRAM On June 9, 1978, we advised several congressional com- mittees that OP4 agreed with the findings in the report, but it proposed alternative corrective actions which were inadequate. We visited OPM officials on March 26, 1979, and on July 30, 1979, and found that, in spite of their agreement with our report, they have made few improvements. The officials told us they have received no direction from FPCD-79-92 5(990515) 110l452
