 The Honorable William F. Bolger
 Postmaster General
                                                          116567
 Dear Mr. Bolger:

   Subject: Postal Service Employee Development Programs
             Need Better Management (GGD-81-107)

      We recently completed a limited review of programs providing
 training or developmental experience to Postal Service employees
 and found that (1) program instructions were not always followed
 and (2) some programmatic changes are needed. Weaknesses
 included:

      --Some postal career executive candidates received
        no developmental training and experiences.

      --Candidate lists for officer-in-charge assignments
        were not properly maintained or used.
      --Employee performance evaluations were not always
        prepared.

      --Some significant program costs were not accumulated.

 OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND
 METHODOLOGY

      The objective of our review was to determine if management
 controls over programs which provide training or developmental
 experiences to postal employees should be strengthened. We
 made our review at Postal Service Headquarters; the Eastern
 (Philadelphia) and Central (Chicago) Regions; district offices
 in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Columbus, Ohio; and management
 sectional centers in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Cincinnati,
 Ohio, between January and April 1981.

      At each location visited we interviewed postal officials and
 reviewed pertinent postal instructions, program guidelines, and
 cost data. We emphasized the extent of management control over
 the programs and compliance with postal instructions. Random
