The Honorable Gilbert Gude
(i House of Reprcsentatives
Dear Mr. Gude:
Your March 27, 1973, letter requested information on
the a.j]b it. f disr oiin~sie.t~rIvate
p~ajies by various executive branch agencies. By agreement
with your epa requestionnaires using the
questions in your letter and submitted them to 61 depart-
ments and agencies. Copies of our letter and the question-
naire are enclosed. (See encs. I and II.) The definition
of advisory opinions, as included in our letter to the
agencies, was furnished by your office.
Because several agencies in certain departments responded
separately, we received more than 61 replies. Enclosure III
lists the departments and agencies which responded. We have
not received a response from the Equal Employment Opportu-
nity Commission, which informed us that it is experiencing
difficulty in coordinating and processing the response. We
will forward that response to you as soon as we receive it.
We furnished your office with copies of the comments
received, compiled and indexed alphabetically by department
or agency. In addition, we indicated whether the agency did
or did not issue advisory opinions or qualified its response.
If the agency did issue advisory opinions, we indicated
whether it compiled the opinions and announced them to the
public. We found that several agencies issued advisory
opinions to private parties and that many of these opinions
are available to the public. Frequently, however, the public
is not informed of their availability.
