Byrd, Jr. *\UUU United States Senate 116277 Dear Senator Byrd: Subject: (Examination of the Effectivegess of Statutory Offices of Inspector Genera (AFMD-81-94) This report is in response to your July 14, 1980, request for a review of the 15 statutory offices of inspector general. (See encl. I.) It is a followup on the briefing we gave you on May 21. Based on an agreement made during our initial meeting with your staff, we did preliminary auditing at several offices, identified potential review areas, and developed a review methodology for each area. We subsequently discussed the areas with your staff and to- gether selected the following five: --Funding and staffing restrictions. --Resource and coordination problems due to agency audit and investigative activities that operate outside the inspector general organizations. --Weak vulnerability assessment programs. --Problems with agency followup systems for handling GAO hot- line allegations referred for inspector general action. --Questionable usefulness of inspector general reports to the Congress. On January 20, President Reagan fired the statutory inspectors general and deputy inspectors general. This action did not affect our review since assistant inspectors general for audit and inves- tigation and other key officials remained. They were completely familiar with inspector general operations and were able to fully address the issues examined during the review. (911526)
