handle is hein.gao/gaobabkbt0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ~, __ - COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON D.C. 20543 In Reply Refer to: B-167015(MGB) JUN 24 9 The Honorable Thomas S. Martin Acting Assistant Attorney General Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Washington, D.C. 20530 Dear Mr. Martin: Subject: L Luevano v. Camobel (D.D.C.) Civil,-o. -79-0271 This is in response to your letter of March 30, 1981, for -arding the proposed consent decree in the above-entitled matter for our consideration as a member of the defendant class. T -posed decree is incorrect in that it assumes that General Accounting Office (GAO) continues to be under the jurisdiction of the Office of Personnel Managenent (OPM) and the Eaual Employment Opportunity Cormission (EEOC) in nersonnel management matters. It fails to recognize that pursuant to the GAO Personnel Ict of 1980, Public Law 96-191, 94 Stat. 27, February 15, 1980, we now operate our own personnel management system which is not subject to regulation or oversight by GPM, EEOC, or any other executive branch agency. Our concern with the decree is limited to the fact that it recnuires our rcort ic to Og>i and assumes we are still under the jurisdiction of OPM and EEOC. We do not foresee -nY major problems in otherwise substantially compying wit, the decree. Acco-dingly, after discussions at the sta le-eI with S,7- Huang of your office, it was suggested that a separate memorandum of understanding with plaintiffs be obtaincd which recognizes our ind t . Thi l npen.dent status woul avoid the necessity of revisinc the language of the decree, while sti l perserving the indepencdence Congress sought to insure with the passage of the GAO Personnel Act. The purpose of this letter, therefore, is to orovide the necessary, relmm ti4 reltivto the C7-0- separate memorandum of understanda.ing.
