    United States Senate

    Dear Senator Heflin:

         Subject: Review of Pension and Fringe Benefits for Contrac-
                   tors' Employees at tha--Netional Aeronautics and
                   Space Administration's Marshall Space Flight Center
                   (HRD-8 1- 142)

         In response to your June 27, 1980, request and subsequent
     discussions with your office, we have reviewed the allegations
     made in a June 1, 1980, letter to you by Mr. Irving S. Sainker,
     a professional employee at the National Aeronautics and Space
     Administration's (NASA's) George C. Marshall Space Flight Center
     (Marshall) in Huntsville, Alabama. On September 27, 1979, NASA
     selected Kentron International, Incorporated, to provide certain
     institutional support services at Marshall. The Hayes Interna-
     tional Corporation had held the contract to provide these services
     since 1971.

         In his letter, Mr. Sainker 1/ stated that, as a result of
     the contractor changeover from Hayes to Kentron, professional
     employees at Marshall, in particular members of the engineering
     group which he chaired, lost pension and fringe benefits. Spec-
     ifically, he stated that the professional engineering employees
     (1) received the same salaries as Hayes paid them, but they had
     not received a cost-of-livinq allowance promised by Kentron, (2)
     received fewer fringe benefits from Kentron than they received



     1/Mr. Sainker formerly worked for Hayes and Kentron. In Septem-
       ber 1980, he left Kentron to work for NASA at the Marshall fa-
       cility.
