 Dear Senator Javits:

      This is in further response to your request of July 23,
 1971, for data on General Accounting Office efforts in re-
 viewing Federal manpower programs including (1) a summary
 listing of programs and geographical areas covered in our is-
 sued reports and ongoing reviews, (2) a brief discussion of
 our ongoing reviews, and 3) the major conclusions which we
 have drawn from our reviews. On July 26, 1971, we provided
 your office with a summary listing of our recent efforts in
 reviewing Federal manpower programs. The enclosure to this
 letter presents a brief discussion of our issued reports and
 ongoing reviews and the major conclusions we have drawn from
 our reviews.

      It should be noted that some of the information in the
 enclosure was developed during our 1968 and 1969 review of
 Office of Economic Opportunity programs, required under Eco-
 nomic Opportunity Act Amendments of 1967, and, as such, may
 not be a valid assessment of the manner in which the programs
 currently operate.

      You also questioned whether we had sufficient legisla-
 tive authority to carry out reviews of Federal manpower pro-
 grams. Our experience has shown that the provisions of the
 Budget and Accounting Act, 1921, and the Accounting and Au-
 diting Act of 1950, granting us general audit authority have
 been adequate for our purposes.

      As noted in the enclosure, two of our ongoing reviews of
 manpower programs are being conducted in New York City. These
 reviews, however, have not progressed to the point where we
 have formulated definitive conclusions and recommendations.
