handle is hein.gao/gaobackaq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United States GAO Generl Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 General Government Division B-245860 ay 7, 1992 The Honorable Robert C. Byrd Chairman, Committee on Appropriations 146561 United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter responds to your recent request for information on the extent that federal agencies support federal fitness facilities with appropriated funds. The enclosed information was derived from audit work we performed in connection with our recently issued report to Congressman Scott Klug entitled FEDERAL WORKFORCE: Acencies' Procurements of Private Health Club Services (GAO/GGD-92-66, Apr. 7, 1992). See enclosure 1. In the context of this letter, the term federal fitness facilities refers to federally owned or federally sponsored physical fitness facilities, excluding the procurements of private health club services reported to Congressman Klug. Federal fitness facilities provide equipment and services beyond just lockers and showers. As part of our work for Congressman Klug, we sent a questionnaire to 80 federal departments and agencies asking them a variety of questions regarding the use of private and federal health club facilities. Enclosure 2 lists these 80 departments and agencies. Overall, 77 departments and agencies, 96 percent, responded to our questionnaire. Of these, 40 departments and agencies reported that they support federal fitness facilities with federal appropriations. These 40 departments and agencies employed about 1.25 million federal civilian employees and reported supporting 653 federal fitness facilities. Enclosure 3 lists the agencies that said they support federal fitness facilities along with information they reported on (1) the total number of agency employees, (2) an estimated percentage of employees who use federal fitness facilities, and (3) the number of federal fitness facilities that each agency reported supporting. Although, we did not verify the accuracy of the questionnaire responses provided by the departments and agencies, we reconciled any apparent inconsistencies in the reported data.
