October 5, 1993
The Honorable John Conyers, Jr.
Chairman, Legislation and National
Security Subcommittee
Committee on Government Operations
House of Representatives
Dear Mr. Chairman:
At your request, we examined the representation of women
and minorities in the workforce of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) at two locations, the
District of Columbia and the Los Angeles area. At both
locations, we focused our examination on occupations
that included employees at grade 11 or higher.
This correspondence follows two letters we sent to you
earlier about representation at INS. Our May 17, 1993,
letter provided information about the number,
occupations, and grades of black employees in INS'
workforce nationwide and in the District of Columbia,
the Los Angeles area, and the Portland, Oregon area.
Our July 15, 1993, letter assessed the progress of women
and minority employees in occupations that included
employees at grade 11 or higher across INS.'
APPROACH
For this correspondence, we followed the same
methodology we used in analyzing data for the July
letter. In contrast to the July letter, this one covers
the workforce at two locations rather than for all of
INS.
To analyze the data, we compared the number of women and
minority employees with the number of white men who were
similarly employed. We use the term relative number
to refer to the number of women or minorities employed
in a particular category for every 10 white men in that
same category. This approach is explained more fully in
GAO/GGD-93-54R.
'The letters are numbered, respectively, GAO/GGD-93-44R
and GAO/GGD-93-54R.
