     Dear Mr Thomas:

          Subject: The Offices for Civil Rights in the Departments of
                   Education and Health and Human Services Have
                   Improved the Management of Their Civil Rights
                   Enforcement Responsibilities (ERD-82-22)

          The Departments of Health and Human Services and Education
     Offices for Civil Rights (OCRs) are responsible for ensuring that
     recipients of Federal funds administer their respective Depart-
     ments' programs without discrimination on the basis of race, color,
     national origin, sex, handicap, or age

          On Marci 30,r 1977, we issued a report to Senator Birch Bayh
     (ARD-77-78) iscussing several management problems which were pre-
     venting the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's (HEW's)
     OCR from fully carrying out its civil rights enforcement responsi-
     bilities  These proolems included the Office's lack of

          --interaction with its regional offices,

          --uniform policy guidelines and compliance standards,

          --a comprehensive and reliable management information
            system,

          --coordination with HEW's program agencies, and

          --impact and effectiveness measures


                                                            (209587)
