                                                   RELEASED
     The Honorable Patricia Schroeder
     Chairwoman, Subcommittee on Civil Service
     Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
     House of Representatives

     Dear Madam Chairwoman:

          Subject: Effects of the Presidential Transition on
                    the Senior Executive Service (FPCD-82-29)

          On December 22, 1980, you asked us to review how the
     Senior Executive Service (SES) system worked during the
     Presidential transition. You wanted to know whether un-
     acceptable politicization took place in the SES, how many
     career executives were transferred within their agencies
     and how many retired because of the transition, what meth-
     od the new administration used to determine which SES slots
     should be filled with its own people, and what the Office
     of Personnel Management (OPM) did to monitor the process.
     Because of the statutory 120-day restriction on the reas-
     signment of career SES members during the early part of a
     new administration, we delayed this review so that newly
     appointed agency heads would be on board several months
     before we began.

          On July 28, 1981, we briefed your office on the pre-
     liminary results of our work. At that meeting we agreed
     to concentrate our efforts on

          (1) determining OPM and Merit Systems Protection Board
              (MSPB) legal authorities, objectives, and proce-
              dures for monitoring the SES during transition;



                                                        (966029)
