   The Honorable Orrin G. Hatch             123444
     Chairman, Committee on Labor
       and Human Resources
    United States Senate

    Dear Mr. Chairman:

          Subject: Coordination Between the Departments of Labor
                    and Justice in Investigating Criminal
                    Activities of Labor Unions and Employee Pension
                    and Welfare Benefit Funds (GAO/HRD-84-9)

          In response to your December 8, 1981, letter and subsequent
    meetings with your office, we have examined the adequacy of co-
    ordination between the Departments of Labor and Justice regard-
    ing certain criminal activities involving labor unions and em-
    ployee pension and welfare benefit funds. You asked us to
    review the following matters:

          (1) Has Labor referred possible criminal matters to Justice
              and its component elements in a prompt, effective
              manner?

          (2) Has Labor cooperated with the Justice strike force
             program?

          (3) Has Labor cooperated with Justice and its component
              elements in labor union inquiries, especially where
              there was a question of organized crime involvement in
              union activities and abused union funds?

          (4) Has the relationship between these agencies during the
             period reviewed aided or hindered the effort to root
             out organized crime from labor unions?

          (5) The Labor Department had certain money appropriated and
             earmarked by the Congress specifically to combat orga-
             nized crime in labor unions. Did Labor actually use
             those moneys for the purposes intended by the Congress?
