     The Honorable Vic Fazio                          II MDIII 1111

     House of Representatives                            089257

     Dear Mr. Fazio:

          Subject: Keview of Yolo County, California, Economic
                    Opportunity Commission Concerning Matters
                    Affecting Local Poverty ProgramsJ(HRD-81-110)

          This is in response to your March 3, 1981, letter concerning
     the Yolo County Economic Opportunity Commission's involvement in
     certain matters affecting the county's poverty programs. Your
     letter cited significant concern by local citizens regarding the
     Commission's administration of certain Federal antipoverty programs.

          You forwarded to us a copy of a February 25, 1981, letter from
     Mr. Robert N. Black--a member of the Yolo County, California, Board
     of Supervisors. Supervisor Black's letter contained 11 allegations
     (see enc. I, p. 1) about the Commission's operations. We developed
     information to substantiate or refute these allegations. The in-
     formation we developed was provided in an April 24, 1981, briefing
     to you and your Woodland, California, district office staff.

          We obtained information on these allegations through discus-
      sions with officials from the Community Services Administration
      (CSA) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in
      Region IX, State officials, and local officials. The local offi-
      cials included members of the Board of Supervisors, the county
      government, and the Commission, including members of the Community
      Action Board. Also, parents of Head Start program participants,
      Winters Parent Nursery School officials, and some of the Head Start
      Parent Policy Council representatives as well as various community
      representatives were contacted. Federal, State, and local offi-
      cials provided documentation on matters relating to the 11 alle-
      gations we reviewed.
                                                                 (013973)
