      The Honorable A. Vernon Weaver, Jr.
      Administrator, Small Business
        Administration

      Dear Mr. Weaver:

           Subject:  First Look at Senior Executive Service
                      erformance Awards/SBAJ(FPCD-80-86)

           During July 1980, members of my staff reviewed Senior
      Executive Service (SES) bonus payments at the Small Business
      Administration (SBA) and two other agencies as part of a
      study directed by the Congress. Results of this study are
      included in our report entitled First Look at Senior Execu-
      tive Service Performance Awards, FPCD-80-74, August 15,
      1980 (copy enclosed).

           We concluded that the performance awards were within
      the requirements of the Civil Service Reform Act, as well as
      Office of Personnel Management (OPM) guidance. But we re-
      ported that each of the agencies experienced some procedural
      difficulties in administering these awards. We did not make
      specific recominendations to the three agencies in our report.
      In lieu of this, we are writing this letter to share a few
      of our observations about SBA's bonus system and to outline
      some reccmmrendations you may wish to consider.

      SECOND BONUS CYCLE FOR
      FISCAL YEAR 1980 PEEFOPMANCE

           SEA paid bonuses for performance in the first 6 months
      of fiscal year 1980. At the time of our review, it planned
      to again pay bonuses for the second half of fiscal year 1980
      performance in the fall of 1980 with fiscal year 1981 money.
      Although this plan is within the legal limits of the Reform
      Act, it allows SEA to pay bonuses to a higher percentage
