handle is hein.gao/gaobabkiq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: C to BrCh OAS RELEASED B-177791 t 2 9 I73 The Honorable Lloyd Bentsen United States Senate 1< Dear Senator Bentsen: In accordance with your December 27, 1972, request, we have considered the matters in Mr. Eugene L. Berger's De- cember 7, 1972, letter. Mr. Berger's letter emphasizes that when we audit Gov- ernment contractos we count contractor em~loyees i ~ l~T? ng.wafry, a.taking long lunch houW sGeut that we perform the audits which apparently prompted Mr. Berger's ob- servations, we have the following comments on the matter. We do not generally use such time and attendance checks in auditing Government contracts, but we may use them in spe- cial assignments. For example, in our February 18, 1972, re- port to the Congress we discussed the results of a work- sampling study of certain employees of the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, the contractor for the C-SA aircraft. We con- ducted this study pursuant to special audit requirements es- tablished by Public Laws 91-441 and 92-156. A copy of the report is enclosed. In some of our reviews of Government agencies, we use time and attendance checks to test the validity and degree of control exercised by agencies over the activities and pay records of Federal civil service employees. Because the information in Mr. Berger's letter was very general, we contacted him to identify the contractor and au- dits to which he referred. Mr. Berger is employed by the 2 General Electric Company (GE) in its Houston office located near the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. The audits referred to by Mr. Berger were made inter- mittently throughout calendar year 1972 for a contract awarded to GE by NASA. Under this contract, GE's Houston office pro- vides support services for specific missions of the Center. talihe b 6ubicLas4 41 an 216 oyo h
