    The Honorable Allen E. Ertel                           iiI!111IiliiJjI
    House of Representatives
                                                              119171
    Dear Mr. Ertel:
         Subject: Use of Federal Employees as Personal Aides to
                   Federal Officials in Selected Departments and
                   Agencies (GAO/FPCD-82-52)

        This report responds to your December 3, 1981, request, and
    subsequent agreements with your office, that we identify the num-
    ber, type, and cost of Federal employees serving exclusively as
    chefs, chauffeurs, and other types of personal aides for individ-
    ual Federal officials. You asked that we collect this informa-
    tion from the Departments of Commerce, Health and Human Services,
    Interior, Justice, Treasury, and Transportation; and the Small
    Business Administration; Consumer Product Safety Commission;
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration; National Science
    Foundation; and Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

        We obtained answers to a series of questions from each of
   the departments and agencies on the number and cost of employees
   performing personal services for specific officials. We collected
   information for calendar years 1980 and 1981. Department and
   agency officials said that no substantial differences were antici-
   pated for calendar year 1982. We did not independently verify
   all the information submitted. However, for the departments that.
   indicated individualized transportation services were provided to
   specific officials, we attempted to check records maintained on
   those services. Although five departments said they had records
   on transportation services, only the Department of Justice main-
   tained records on the department head's use of a vehicle. These
   records, however, were not detailed enough to show the purpose
   for which the vehicle was used.

        Enclosures I, II, and III summarize information provided
   by each of the departments and agencies regarding transportation
   service, home-to-office transportation service, and dining room


                                                             (966079)
