' o;a 171019 .ELEASED OCT 2 1975 The Honorable John E. Moss House of Representatives Dear Mr. Moss: Your May 9, 1975, letter requested that we review certain questions surrounding contracts that the Law Enforcement As- sistance Administration (LEAA) was awarding to the Institute for Law and Social Research (INSLAW ). INSLAW, located in Washington, D.C., was established on September 25, 1972, as a nonprofit, tax exempt corporation, specializing in research and analysis services for agencies engaged in administration of public law. You noted that you had documentary evidence indicating that certain LEAA employe.es had opposed the awards on substantive grounds. In a June 5 meeting with your office, it was agreed that our report would summarize the history of the -wo recent con- tracts awarded INSLAW by LEAA, address your questions concern- ing internal LEAA objections to the awards, and ascertain whether LEAA employees were ordered not to cooperate or com- municate with Members of Congress regarding the awards. The two contracts in question are for a cost-effectiveness study of the Comprehensive Data Systems program and for the transfer of the Prosecutor's Management Information System to prosecutors desiring the system. As agreed with your office, we have discussed the report with LEAA officials and con- sidered their viewas in preparing it. To develop the desired information, we reviewed contract files for the two awards, including the justifications for awarding these contracts on a sole-source basis. We discussed initial objections to awarding the contracts with LEAA's Ad- ministrator, Deputy General Counsel, Comptroller, Deputy In- spector General, Director of Institute and Contract Audit Activities Division, Acting Director of the Grants and Con- tracts Management Division, Director of Office of Congres- sional Liaison, and the Chief Contracting Officer. Details concerning the two contracts follow. GGD-76-9 9BEST DOCUMENT AVAILABLE O'l I oIII
