Rodino, Jr. Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: 114341 Subject: Construction and Operation of the Refugee ProcessJng Center in Bataan, the Philippines (ID-81-27) In response to your September 15, 1980, request we have reviewed (1) the use and management of U.S. funds in the con- struction and operation of the Refugee Processing Center in Bataan, the Philippines; (2) the administrative structure for the construction and operation of the Center; (3) the roles and efficiency of the various operatifig entities within the Center complex; and (4) the viability of the Center concept, and whether the Center is fulfilling its role/objective of relieving first-asylum countries of the burden of refugee care. The results of our review are discussed in the enclosure to this letter. We found that: --Because of several circumstances--the exhaus- tion of available funds, a diminishing flow of Indochinese refugees, negotiations over construction cost estimates and increased construction costs--the Center was con- structed with a refugee capacity of 17,200 rather than 50,000, as originally planned. --The administrative and operating structure of the Center appeared to be well conceived, and effective coordination between the various organizations and activities was being con- ducted. --The rationale for channeling U.S. funds through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to contract and administer the English as a Second Language program at the Center should be reconsidered before present arrangements are extended.
