     Dear Mr. Kozinski:

          Sub3ect: Observations on the Office of the Special
                    Counsel's Operations (FPCD-82-10)

          We have completed our review of the Office of the
     Special Counsel's (OSC's) handling of prohibited personnel
     practice complaints. In conducting our work, we observed
     that OSC had

          --certain administrative problems, including inadequate
            records of OSC's investigations;

          --no criteria or guidelines for performing investiga-
            tions which may cause similar cases to be treated
            differently; and

          --unclear working relationships with the other central
            personnel agencies that hamper full cooperation and
            sharing of information.

          In meetings with you and your staff, you agreed with
     our observations and indicated that certain actions were
     being taken to address the problems we identified. In view
     of this, we are not making any recommendations to you at
     this time. However, early in 1982, we will follow up on
     these matters as part of our annual report to the Congress
     on the activities of the Merit Systems Protection Board
     (MSPB) and OSC.

     OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY

          Our work included an examination of OSC case files;
     discussions with OSC officials in the headquarters and
     Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, and San Francisco Regional
     Offices; and contacts with the other central personnel


                                                          (966023)
