Campbell111IIliiii Director, Office of Personnel 113237 Management Dear Mr. Campbell: Subject: 5PM's Initial Attempts to Implement Demonstra- tion Provisions of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978/(FPCD-80-63) In this letter we discuss our observations on the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) initial attempts to encour- age and evaluate proposals for demonstration projects author- ized by title VI of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. These projects are intended to determine whether a specified change in personnel management policies and procedures would result in improved Federal personnel management. They can involve waivers of certain existing laws, rules, and regula- tions. For that reason, title VI requires that project pro- posals proceed through a process of public notice, public hearing, and congressional review. We made this review because of the concern we share with you that the central management agencies of the Federal Government have a special responsibility for leadership in improving the quality, quantity, and usefulness of research related to public management. We are encouraged by recent initiatives you have taken to create a stronger leadership role in identifying, developing, and evaluating potential demonstration projects. We are reporting to you at this time to provide perspectives on why new initiatives were needed, to encourage those actions which have been taken; and to recommend additional steps which, we believe, would further strengthen the administration of the demonstration provisions of title VI.
