Bennet, Jr. Administrator, Agency for International Development 1 6 -01 Dear Mr. Bennet: As you know, in our forthcoming report to the Congress on the overall AID education and human resources program, we will address the need for better management of AID training activities for people from developing countries.

Yet, the Office of International Training is unable to provide current or complete information on the (1) number of participants being trained, (2) participants' U.S. arrivals and departures, (3) occupation of participants who returned home, and (4) contractors supplying the participants with training and related services. Neither was such information or data on participant training costs readily available in other AID Washington offices and bureaus or in overseas missions we visited in June and July 1979. During our review of participant training data, we became aware that many questions have been raised since the large Agency personnel cuts in the mid 1970s--even from within the Office of International Training--concerning the adequacy of participant training management and recordkeeping.
