                 Subject: Observations on the Department of Labor's Fiscal Year 2000 Performance Plan

                 As you requested, we have reviewed and evaluated the fiscal year 2000 performance plans for
                 the 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act agencies that were submitted to Congress as
                 required by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (Results Act). Enclosure I
                 to this letter provides our observations on the fiscal year 2000 performance plan for the
                 Department of Labor (Labor). Enclosure II lists management challenges we and Labor's
                 Inspector General identified that face the agency and the applicable goals and measures in
                 the fiscal year 2000 annual performance plan.

                 Our objectives were to assess (1) the usefulness of the agency's plan for decisionmaking
                 purposes and (2) the degree of improvement the agency's fiscal year 2000 performance plan
                 represents over the fiscal year 1999 plan. Our observations were generally based on the
                 requirements of the Results Act, guidance to agencies from the Office of Management and
                 Budget (OMB) for developing the plan (OMB Circular A-11, Part 2), our previous reports and
                 knowledge of Labor's operations and programs, and our assessment of Labor's fiscal year
                 1999 performance plan. Our summary report on the CFO Act agencies' fiscal year 2000 plans
                 contains a complete discussion of our objectives, scope, and methodology.!
