     The Honorable Claude Pepper
     Chairman, Select Committee
       on Aging
     House of Representatives

     Dear Mr. Chairman:

          Subject: Age Discrimination and Other Equal
                    Employment Opportunity Issues in the
                    Federal Work Force (FPCD-82-6)

          This report responds to your March 17, 1981, request that
     we determine whether Federal employees are being treated in
     a manner free of age discrimination. You asked us to identify
     the key issues relating to the Government's treatment of its
     older workers. During our discussion with the Committee staff,
     we agreed to concentrate on the following four issues:

          --The system for processing discrimination complaints.

          --How age complaints are processed in relation to com-
            plaints dealing with race, sex, national origin, or
            other discrimination issues.

          --The severity of age discrimination in the Federal
            work force.

          --Occupational exemptions from the Age Discrimination
            in Employment Act.

          We reviewed all the files of 35 discrimination cases that
     the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently
     completed, and we analyzed selected data in those files. We
     also analyzed other documents maintained by EEOC and the
     Office of Personnel Management (OPM), such as case file logs,
