     The Honorable J. Clay Smith, Jr.
     Acting Chairman, Equal Employment
       Opportunity Commission

     Dear Mr. Smith:

          Subject:  Equal Employment Opportunity Commissin Needs to
                     mprove Its Administrative Activitiesj(HRD-81-74)

          The results of our review of the Commission's administrative
     activities are discussed in the enclosure to this letter, which
     also contains recommendations to you for strengthening these ac-
     tivities, particularly in the district offices. Although work was
     done only at headquarters and two district offices, we believe the
     problems identified may be applicable at other district offices.
     Some of our findings corresponded to results of studies by the
     Commission's Office of Administration and by the U.S. Office of
     Personnel Management.

          In general, Commission administrative activities, particularly
     in district offices, need improvement. Our major concerns about
     the district offices are that the operations services units are
     not fully functioning as intended, too many people may be assigned
     to the legal units, property controls are inadequate, certain
     equipment is underutilized, and imprest fund levels exceed needs
     and required cash verifications were not made. We discussed the
     results of our work with Commission officials, and their comments
     are included where appropriate.

          This report contains recommendations to you on pages 7, 10,
     14, 15, and 17 of the enclosure. As you know, section 236 of the
     Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 requires the head of a
     Federal agency to submit a written statement on actions taken on
     our recommendations to the House Committee on Government Operations
     and the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs not later than
     60 days after the date of the report and to the House and Senate
     Committees on Appropriations with the agency's first request for
     appropriations made more than 60 days after the date of the report.


                                                               (209583)
