    Dear Madam Chairwoman:

         Subjects /INS Staffing Levels (FPCD-81-67)

         Your letter of March 6, 1981, requested that we review
    the staffing levels for the Immigration and Naturalization
    Service (INS). On May 28, 1981, we provided your office with
    the results of our work; specifically, information on the
    authorized strength for INS and the Justice Department, in-
    cluding INS, for the past 5 fiscal years, and information on
    whether actual staffing had reached ceilings imposed by the
    Office of Management and Budget (OMB). (See encs. I and
    II.) We also provided information for use in the June 15,
    1981, hearings on INS personnel ceiling reductions.

         Additionally, in response to your request, this letter
     reports on (1) the allocation of INS staff to the regional,
     district, and headquarters offices, (2) INS's personnel
     ceiling reductions, and (3) INS's lack of an adequate work
     measurement system. Detailed information concerning the
     staff allocation to INS offices since fiscal year 1977 is
     included in enclosure III.

     OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY

          We conducted our review from March through June, 1981.
     We interviewed officials responsible for administering some
     of the programs operating under personnel ceiling reductions
     to obtain their views on the impact of these reductions. We
     reviewed INS records which discuss the effects of the reduc-
     tions and also discussed the rationale for these reductions
     with OMB.
