    Mr.  James V. P. Conway
    Senior  Assistant Postmaster General
    Employee  and Labor Relations Group
    United  States Postal Service   9Q

    Dear  Mr  Conway

          The General Accounting Office  has studied selected
     aspects of the Postal Service's training  and development
     programs to determine if these programs  were being carried
     out effectively   Because the Service  started a review of
     its training programs with the  intent of redesigning their
     content, presentation, and administration,  our review was
     curtailed.  The Purpose of this report  is to bring to your
     attention the results of our work for consideration  when
     redesigning the Service's training programs.

          Our work was performed at the Postal  Service Training
     and Development Institute, Bethesda, Maryland,  and various
     postal facilities in the Service's Western  Region.  Although
     our study was limited in scope, an Inspection  Service report
     found that problems similar to those noted  in the Western
     Pegion existed elsewhere  -n the Nation.

          The Service's training and development  programs were
     not achieving maximum effectiveness because*

          --Training was not provided all employees  in accord-
            ance with Service policy.

          --Some priority training was eitherriot  given in a
            timely manner or not given at all.

          --Low local training center utilization  indicates
            a need to develop methods for  increasing utili-
            zation and/or to revise design criteria  to
            prevent the construction of facilities  that are
            larger than necessary.
