General Accounting Office Effects Of Fiscal Year 1982 Budget Cuts On The Merit Systems Protection Board And Its Office Of The Special Counsel In response to significant budget cuts in fiscal year 1982, the Merit Systems Protection Board and its Office of the Special Counsel took several steps to reduce operating expenses. The Merit Systems Protection Board's budget cut coincided with a substantial increase in new cases. Savings were achieved through freezes on hiring and staff promotions and a 2-week, part-time furlough of all employees. Other sav- ings accrued from a halt on travel, which, in some instances, resulted in greater costs to the Government. The cut in the Board's budget adversely affected all areas of the agency's op- erations. The Office of the Special Counsel experienced high attrition during the period the budget cuts had to be absorbed and did not fill the vacant positions. It also severely limited travel, which contributed to cases not being reviewed tho- roughly or in a timely manner. This report was requested by the Chairman, House Committee on Post Office and Civil Ser- vice, and by the Chairwoman, Subcommittee on Civil Service, and Chairman, Subcommittee on Human Resources, House Committee on Post Office and Civil Service. ,1D5 SN 121029 GAO/FPCD-83-20 . Cc, ou. APRIL 8, 1983
