 Report To The Chairman, Committee

 On Labor And Human Resources

 United States Senate






 Corrective Actions Taken Or In Process

To ,Reduce Job Corps' Vulnerability To Improper

Use Of Contracting Authority


GAO reviewed contract award and modifi-
cation practices of the Office of Job Corps in
the Department of Labor's Employment and
Training Administration.
Before fiscal year 1982 the (1) Job Corps
director had both programmatic and con-
tracting officer authority, (2) internal con-
trols were inadequate, and (3) audit cover-
age .of Job Corps' procurement activities
wasjinadequate. The Employment and Train-
ing Administration has either taken or is
takirog actions to resolve these problems.

A continuing problem is Job Corps' reliance
on architectural and engineering support
contractors to write design and construction
contracts without independent reviews by
Job Corps to assess the contracts' technical
app 'opriateness. This report contains a rec-
omrendation to the Secretary of Labor for
obtaining such reviews.
