Labor did not respond formally in time for its comments to be included in the final report. We received a lengthy response on December 22 which categorically rejected our overall conclusions. Although Labor agreed with parts of our report, it strongly objected to the conclusions we drew concerning the problems of the Employment Security Automation Project and their causes. Labor characterized some of our conclusions as unfounded, inaccurate, misleading, and erroneous. After a thorough review of Labor's response, we remain con- vinced that the position presented in our report is sound. As required by the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970, on March 12, 1979, Labor responded to our recommenda- tions with letters to the Chairmen of the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, and the House Committee on Government Operations. Labor reiterated its disagreement with many of our findings, but went on to outline a comprehensive program of evaluations and studies which are underway or planned. 109195 HRD-79-71 (20303) APR I L 26, 1979 oo409- 4*.-319
