Ferraro House of Representatives 119571 Dear Mrs. Ferraro: Subject: Allegations Concerning Waste and Mismanagement in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' New York Regional Office (GAO/HRD-82-128) In your May 25, 1982, letter and later discussions with your staff, we were asked to review the adequacy of the Department of Labor's investigation into allegations of waste and mismanage- ment in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS') New York regional office. We agreed to review Labor's investigative files on this case to determine whether the major allegations were investigated satisfactorily. The allegations were investigated by BLS' national office and by the Office of the Inspector General's New York office. Their reports concluded that none of the allegations could be substantiated. We reviewed the working papers, correspondence, and other documents provided by the offices conducting the investigations. We talked with the investigators in charge of both the BLS and the Inspector General portions of the investigation and other officials fro.I those agencies. We did not meet with the com- plainant or the employees named in the allegations. Based on the information available to us, we believe that Labor's investigation of the allegations was adequate. In some cases the investigators did not fully pursue an allegation be- cause they satisfied themselves through other means that it was unfounded. For example, regarding an allegation of leave and attendance irregularities, the investigators reviewed the of- fice's policies and procedures for leave and attendance, which they found adequate, but did not attempt to fully reconstruct individual work schedules.
