Compiling Numerical Ratings For Members

Of The Congress By The Department Of Defense




On July 19, 1982, it was publicly disclosed
that the Department of the Navy had Devel-
oped a rating system to evaluate the voting
ecord of Members of Congress. Upon pub-
ic disclosure of the practice, the Secretary
f the Navy directed that its use be discon-
tinued. The Chief of the Office of Legislative
Affairs subsequently directed that any mate-
rial relating to the index be destroyed. As a
result, most of the evidence relating to the
Navy index was destroyed before GAO's
review. GAO found that the practice of pre-
paring numerical ratings was limited to the
Navy and was not widespread within the
Department of Defense.
