    Dear Mr. Chairman:

         Subject: Propriety of Personnel Actions and Use of
                   Consultants By The Office of Juvenile
                   Justice and Delinquency Prevention
                   (GAO/GGD-84-45)

         This letter is one of a series which will address the
    concerns in your April 29, 1983, request about the manner in
    which the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention,
    Department of Justice, is implementing the Juvenile Justice and
    Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5601 et seq.). In
    response to one of your concerns, we reviewed recent personnel
    actions and procurements of consultants by the Office to deter-
    mine if they were proper.

         As requested, we reviewed (1) personnel actions involving
    employees at the GS-12 level and above and (2) use of consult-
    ants for contracts costing more than $500, approved by the Of-
    fice's current Administrator during the period from November 1,
    1982, through September 30, 1983. We also reviewed relevant
    personnel and procurement regulations. We discussed these
    matters with Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Preven-
    tion officials and with the Office of Justice Assistance,
    Research, and Statistics' personnel and contracting offices.1
    Our work was performed at the Office of Juvenile Justice and
    Delinquency Prevention in Washington, D.C., and was done in
    accordance with generally accepted government auditing stand-
    ards.


    1The Office of Justice Assistance, Research, and Statistics
    provides personnel and contracting assistance to the Office of
    Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention pursuant to the
    Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act.
